Facts about the Finnish language:

  • Number of speakers: 5,232,000. Finnish living in Finland: 4,713,000. In Sweden, 250,000 speak Finnish, 20,000 of them are indigenous Finns from the north-eastern boundary, while the rest are immigrants. Swedish is an official language in Finland, and Finnish is an official minority language in Sweden.
  • Being very close to the Estonian language, the speakers of the two understand one another. Hungarian is related, and the languages share many words and grammatical rules, but speakers of the two no longer understand each other.
  • There is a relatively large difference between the literary language used in public affairs, and the everyday, spoken language, which feeds on the slang and the dialects, being more casual, informal, and omits certain sounds, especially consonants. Literary language learners trying to understand the spoken language or dialect will experience temporary difficulty, and find that even simple phrases can cause puzzlement.
  • Writing system: A Finnish version of Latin.
  • Official language of the European Union.
