When i have been to Slovakia i understood many written word in the steet.
    So yes hungarian is more isolated compared to itself, but finnish is more isolated compared to others.
    When i went to Slovakia half of the places were Hungarian and people on the street spoke Hungarian and even a tv reporter spoke Hungarian and wanted to interview me and my wife ��

    I agree Finnish people are very lonely on sharing words with other Europeans

    Etc.
    Okay 40% of hungarian words, vocabulary has indo-european origin, what is this number in the finnish language?
