Finno-Ugric languages
The Finno-Ugric languages are a subfamily of the Uralic languages. It consists of several languages, notably Finnish, Hungarian and Estonian. Contrary to most of the languages spoken in Europe, the Finno-Ugric languages are not part of the Indo-European family of languages.
The "Urheimat" of the proto-language of the modern Finno-Ugric languages, the so-called Proto-Finno-Ugric, is believed to be on the western side of the Ural mountains 5000 years ago. There is evidence that before the arrival of Slavonic tribes to their present territory in Russia, a sprinkling of Finno-Ugrians inhabited the whole territory from the Urals to the Baltic Sea.

- Finno-permic
