Uralic
Uralic refers to a language family that includes around 40 languages spoken mainly in Northern Europe and parts of Russia. The most well-known Uralic languages are Finnish, Hungarian, and Estonian. These languages share common origins and structural features, such as extensive use of cases (modifications to words to show their function in a sentence) and vowel harmony. The Uralic language family is distinct from Indo-European languages, reflecting different historical and cultural developments among the peoples who speak them. Overall, Uralic languages reveal important information about the migration and relationships of peoples across Eurasia.
