turkish finnish and hungarian belong to which family of languages?
uralic languages
the affinity of hungarian and finnish was first proposed in the late 17th century. three candidates can be credited for the discovery: the german scholar martin vogel, the swedish scholar georg stiernhielm and the swedish courtier bengt skytte. vogel's unpublished study of the relationship, commissioned by cosimo iii of tuscany, was clearly the most modern of these: he established several grammatical and lexical parallels between finnish and hungarian as well as sami. stiernhelm commented on the similarities of sami, estonian and finnish, and also on a few similar words between finnish and hungarian. these authors were the first to outline what was to become the classification of the finno-ugric, and later uralic family. this proposal received some of its initial impetus from the fact that these languages, unlike most of the other languages spoken in europe, are not part of what is now known as the indo-european family. in 1717, swedish professor olof rudbeck proposed about 100 etymologies connecting finnish and hungarian, of which about 40 are still considered valid. several early reports comparing finnish or hungarian with mordvin, mari or khanty were additionally collected by leibniz and edited by his assistant johann georg von eckhart.
