    ...Very weird, it's not similar to any other European languages I have heard, but has a slight Slavic underdone.

    I think it sounds similar to many languages! Sometimes I get this pseudo-Hungarian vibe, sometimes the intonation seems very Finnic.

    The only think I can compare it to is a mix of German, Finnic and Slavic.

    Something like Estonian/Finnish person trying to speak a Slavic language with some additional Germanic undertones.

    When I was in Riga, it sounded like a Russian person speaking Finnish....But I find the language very pretty to listen to.
