On another forum, somebody made the mistake of thinking Latvian to be a FU language. I showed him this;  That error mibht be based ion fact there were (today only couple of tens spearkers) Finnic population in modern day Latvia. Livonians.       Japanese and Korean are unusual, in that they are supposed to be a kind of creole or pidgin or whatever between Altaics from the north and Austronesians from the south, perhaps with some western influences from the minority groups in coastal China.   I think both are isolate languages.       Suomi=Nippon! Madness. There may be a superficial similarity in sound, but that's all it'll be.   Of course. There is no any kind of relativity, but just simiarity on sound is noticeable. Lots of same words (with different meaning), some occasion same way to pronounce. Lots of people used to think Nokia is japanese name :)
