I know that not many people speak it since Finland doesn't have a high population, and also that from one finnish word you can extract many many other words by adding some suffixes...
My language is moroccan Arabic

About finnish language:

Isn't Finnish based on Swedish and German, and wasn't the language created by a religious person ?
Correct me if i'm wrong.

My language is Flemish.

finnish is far from swedish and german. REALLY far. it doesn't belong to the same language group..and yes agricola 'created' the formal language.

flemish- it's a germanic language and recognized as a minority language in france.
