Andy... Yup, about Estonian, but I wasn't about to type out ALL the Finnic and Samoyedic languges. I'd have to dig out a book for those, hehe. Ugric is easy to remember---only three languages.

And also,while I'm babbling about Uralic things, has anyone ever seen the book "The Great Bear:A Thematic Anthology of Oral Poetry in the Finno-Ugrian Languages (edited by Honko, Timonen, Branch, Bosley)"? I've got a copy in storage, it's really an excellent book. The book's name describes it pretty well: Oral folk poetry from all the Finnic and Ugric peoples, more or less, written in the original language and in English translation...
