ESTONIA - 2€ Eurocommemorative coin 2021 - Finno Ugric peoples. (BU COINCARD)
According to recent studies, the peoples speaking Finno-Ugric languages have inhabited Europe for about ten millennia. It seems that before the “Great Migration”, mainly Finno-Ugric languages were spoken in Eastern and Central Europe. Linguistic kindredness of Finno-Ugric peoples was discovered at the end of the 18
th
century by the Hungarian scholar
János Sajnovics
(1733-1785). These observations of the Hungarian theologian have led to the development of an entire branch of linguistics – Finno-Ugric studies – which in turn has extended into Uralic studies (linguistics of Uralic languages) which also comprises Samoyed languages. Sometimes the term “Finno-Ugric” refers to all Uralic peoples, including Samoyedic peoples.
Today, almost 25 million people belong to the Uralic (i.e., Finno-Ugric and
Samoyed
) language family, inhabiting an area that extends from Norway in the West and the Ob River region in the East, to the lower reaches of the Danube in the South. Thus, various Finno-Ugric enclaves can be found in this massive domain that is surrounded by peoples speaking Germanic, Slavic, Romance and Turkic languages.
