Finnish, Hungarian and Turkish
I just figured this out. Finnish, Hungarian and Turkish are related.
Yes, laugh. I haven't studied Turkish really, but I started testing words.
The post on "Koriese" got me thinking.
I am from Turkey. Turkish and Hungarian people have a common history and our languages have some common words. There are some similarities in grammar, too. But i think Hungarian and Chuvash are closer than Turkish.
No one has proven they're related, but they have lent a lot of words from each other so I read. Perhaps they ARE related, but you just cannot prove it anymore due to the lack of knowledge about ancient root languages.
How about Japanese, Mongolian and Korean languages?
I have not tested Mongolian, but I think it is interesting. I speak some Japanese and I have played around with Korean. The grammar in Korean has some similarities to Japanese.
Thank-you for your comments.
@Baldewin, the earliest known Mongolian text is Yesunke Stone (1225). Hungarian, Japanese and Turkish has earlier records. Some researchers think that Mongolian is a kind of Chinese influenced by Turkish. Hungarian is considered as Uralic and Turkish is considered as Altaic , but they are close according to some grammar points.
itt van egy ház. (hu)
burada bir ev var. (tr)
van - var: there is
Hungarian and Turkish have no TO HAVE verb. This structure is used instead:
Ház-a-m van. (hu)
Ev-i-m var. (tr)
-m suffix and van / var are sounding similar. Hungarian and Turkish have nearly same suffix order. Finnish is a little different.
ház-a-m-ban (hu)
ev-i-m-de (tr)
kodi-ssa-ni (fi)
ház - ev - koti: house
Hungarian and Turkish -m 1st sg. possessive suffix. Hungarian -ban and Turkish -de locative suffix. Finnish -ssa locative and -ni 1st sg. possessive suffix. So, don't underrate Ural-Altaic languages.
