Finnish grammar information


The Finnish language is spoken by the majority of the population in Finland and by ethnic Finns elsewhere. Unlike the languages spoken in neighbouring countries, such as Swedish and Norwegian, which are North Germanic languages, or Russian, which is a Slavic language, Finnish is a Uralic language of the Finnic languages group. Typologically, Finnish is agglutinative.[1] As in some other Uralic languages, Finnish has vowel harmony, and like other Finnic languages, it has consonant gradation.
