Uralic languages used to be spoken throughout Northern Eurasia. Things went bad when Slavs expanded to the North from their heartland about 1500 years ago. Things went really bad when Muscovy began their rapid expansion about 500 years ago. Now, most Uralic languages are on their way to extinction.

Ancient DNA reveals the prehistory of the Uralic and Yeniseian peoples - Nature
Genome-wide sequencing of 180 ancient individuals shows a continuous gradient of ancestry in Early-to-Mid-Holocene hunter-gatherers from the Baltic to the Transbaikal region and distinct contemporaneous groups in Northeast Siberia, and provides insights into the origins of modern Uralic and Yeniseian speakers.

A recent study finds genetic evidence that the the Uralic language family—which includes Hungarian, Finnish, Estonian, and others—had its origins in people living in northeastern Siberia about 4500 years ago (2500 BC).

Well you have your Indo-European, obviously, and then you also have Uralic, and finally you have your “where the fuck did this come from” family (Basque)

Obviously, the simplest answer is that chocolate raisins were important to mesolithic speakers of the common ancestor of proto-Indo-European and proto-Uralic.

As always is the case with interdisciplinary papers on prehistory, there is certainly room for different interpretations. I hope our ideas will spark further discussion on Uralic (linguistic) prehistory.

Uralic, but you’re right. Not Baltic. Embarrassing because I know this. I hang my head in language family shame.

The name Perm is of Uralic etymology. In Finnish and Vepsian perämaa mean "far-away-land". Quite fitting name, isn't it?

Yep.
It’s a small language family called Uralic. The Finns don’t consider themselves Scandinavians at all! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uralic_...

today i learned that the numbers 8 and 9 (🇫🇮: "kahdeksan", "yhdeksän") in many Uralic languages are derived from 2 and 1 (🇫🇮: "kaksi", "yksi") on the basis of the shared, now-opaque suffix signifying something along the lines of "until ten" en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconst...
