I didn't want to offend anyone, i just wanted to point out that the Finnish language and the Hungarian language belong to another group (wikipedia calls this group Finno-Ugric and also states the Estonian language as a member), so native speakers of these languages are on the loosing side for the "2 main language groups" theory, due to the fact that it migth be hard for them to find someone who can speak a language similar to theirs.

Just take it as a compliment that you can understand my utterly bad mixture of 2 languages which are completly different to your native.
