About the language
Estonia is home to around 900,000 speakers of Estonian, known as ‘eesti keel’, with another hundred thousand or so living abroad. It is related to Finnish however it is not related to the neighbouring Slavic, Germanic or Baltic languages such as Russian, German and Latvian. A distinctive feature of Estonian and Finnish is that they have no grammatical gender – just one word is used for both ‘he’ and ‘she’.

Estonian
is a Finnic language and the official language of Estonia. It is written in the Latin script, and is the first language of the majority of the country’s population; it is also an official language of the European Union. Estonian is spoken natively by about 1.1 million people; 922,000 people in Estonia, and 160,000 elsewhere.
According to linguistic typology, the Estonian language is considered a part of the Finnic branch of the Uralic language family. Other Finnic languages include Finnish and a few minority languages spoken around the Baltic Sea and in northwestern Russia. Estonian is typically subclassified as a Southern Finnic language, and it is the second-most-spoken language among all the Finnic languages. Alongside Finnish, Hungarian, and Maltese, Estonian is one of the four official languages of the European Union that are not typologically considered Indo-European languages.
Fun facts of language
- Many people confuse Finnish and Estonian, but they do use some separate vowels such as the Estonian uses ü and üü instead of Finnish y and yy.
- Although not a Germanic language, nearly a third of Estonian vocabulary comes from German – for example, the word for glass, klaas, comes from the German glas.
- Estonian has an astonishing 14 grammatical cases!
- Some well-known examples of false friends between Estonian and Finnish are hallitus (which means ‘government’ in Finnish and ‘mould’ in Estonian), and kalju, which means ‘bald’ in Finnish and ‘cliff’ in Estonian.
