The Uralic languages are a contrasted family of languages. The best known subfamily is the Finno-ugric languages, which are in turn separated into the Finnish-Permian languages and Ugric languages. The other members comprise the Samoyedic languages. There is some debate about a possible relationship between the family as a whole and the Altaic languages.
Current members include:
- Finnish language (Suomi)
- Estonian language
- Hungarian language (Magyar)
- Mordv language
- Ostiak language
- Vogul language
- Tcheremiss language
- Samoyed language
Some particular features of these languages are:
- Extensive use of independent suffixes
- Large set of /Cases
- Vocalic harmony
