The Uralic languages are a family of 39 languages that are spoken across parts of northeastern Europe and northern Asia. Estimates suggest that there are approximately 25 million speakers of Uralic languages in the world. Of the 39 Uralic languages, Hungarian, Finnish, and Estonian have the most significant number of native speakers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Uralic languages descended from the Proto-Uralic language that was spoken about 7,000 to 10,000 years ago on both sides of the Ural Mountains that divide Asia and Europe. Some of the earliest written records of Uralic languages dates back to the early 13th century. Linguists are unable to trace the origins of these languages with any measure of certainty due to the lack of written records and varied cultural influences.<\/span><\/p>\n
