There are several theories about the development of fenno-ugric languages. Ther were people living ther as far bazck as 10,000 years ago, and some researchers take a view that the newcomers came wave by wave and adapted local language to some extent, but altered the genetic makeup. If you're interested, check out http://virtual.finland.fi/finfo/english/where_do.html (/.../Early Proto-Finnic - the ‘grandmother language’ of the Finnic and Sámi languages - traces back to the period in which the ‘Comb Ceramic’ culture spread throughout the region around 4000 BC./.../), and that's roughly the time of the story here. Another link of interest http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Parthenon/3818/finnugr.html But as noted, It's not supposed to be a very historically accurate rendition. I'm just playing with some scientific facts and putting on much of my own mind. Thanks for reading, I'm glad you like it so far! And any nitpicking, suggestions, criticism is very welcome *begs*.
