Are Estonians Scandinavians/Nordic?

I said That interetsed

I'm more intelligent, educated and more successful than you. The view from my (I own it, not rented) apartment is worth killing for.

You show your lack of intelligence daily.

[Ibericus]

They are Finnic, don't know if that qualifies

[American_Hispanist]

The topic is people, not countries. Estonians are Finnic

We agree on that. However, I still don't think Estonians are Nords. Very related to Nords, yes, but not Nords. That would be Swedes, Norwegians, Danes, some Finns, and Northern Germans

and there are maybe about 1000-1500 Balts in Estonia.

Sure, ok.

and I own Neuschwanstein Castle

Your apartment is in Estonia, no one would kill for that

You show your lack of intelligence daily.

you're an idiot, who cant grasp the most basic concept of contemporary
politics. You are actually delusional enough to think that History and culture is more important than the contemporary situation in a country

Many of your compatriots disagree with you. I see the spires of 700-year old churches from my window, you don't have history like that in Scotland or anywhere else in Europe.

What's wrong with the contemporary situation here? It's great. We have an extremely high Human Development index and life is safer than in your region, where rapes are common.

Well, "Nordic" is pretty arbitrary. Depends upon one's judgement call of how similar Estonia is to Finland as opposed to the other Baltics. I don't think it's as simple as Karl makes it out to be. Also, Karl, personal attacks do not help win arguments.

Estonia to Finland is what Austria is to Germany.

You're addressing the wrong person.

Tallinn has the most preserved old town in Europe, very few European old towns are even near to the level that you can see here.

Estonia to Finland is what Austria is to Germany.

both Germany and Austria are developed countries, Estonia and Finland on the other hand......

very few European old towns are even near to the level that you can see here.
