Finnish - the ugliest language in the world?
You can organize text for example using lists. Some insights into Finnish:
-
Written and spoken Finnish are similar. If you know how some word
is written in English, you don't necessarily know how to
pronounce it - and vice versa. We don't have this problem! There
is only one notable exception in Finnish: 'm' might be pronounced
'mm' and there are exact rules when this happens. In addition,
Finnish has some conventions about how to write some consonants
which don't have their own characters
- Finnish people have very exact grammar. I believe, that the
Finnish have the finest grammar in the world! In that respect
Finnish is a fine language. But this matter is only a part of the
truth about the Finnish language.
- The sounds B, C, F, Q, W are not inherent in Finnish (in the
17th century they were used). We understand a 'W' as a strong
'V'. 'B' and 'F' are used in some individual lone-words, but 'C',
'W', and 'Q' only in foreign names; 'C' is common used in Swedish
christian names.
Indeed, today names of shops are in English and names of
companies are in English or they resemble English (Euromarket,
Citymarket, Auria, Sportia etc.). Young people name their
children against the old Finnish tradition using an
English-sounding name, for example 'Nico' - they don't respect
their mother tongue, because it sounds better to use English!
