    Once a Polish person told me that Latvian sounds really similar to Hungarian. Ofc, two languages are not related, but Latvian has a strong Finnic influence, so maybe that is why he thought that both languages sound similar.

    Btw, when I listened to a song in Hungarian I realized that when it is singed, I hear more similarities with Finnish and Estonian and both of them are considered as really melodic.

    I don't get anything, so no. To me it sounds similar to balkanian languages.
