- ptaipale 7y agoThat is correct. Also Russian and other Slavic languages belong to Indo-European family. Russian is linguistically closer to English than Hindi, but Finnish is far apart (and is close to Estonian, and more remotely related to Hungarian). Still, as a native Finn I can get some things from Russian even if I have never studied it, because there is so much common vocabulary.
