Talk:Finnish language

September 2012

I have corrected the English spelling and grammar. In addition, I have updated the comments regarding the difficulty of the Finnish language. This section references English speaksers, but the author is clearly not a native speaker of English. It is misleading to play down the difficulty of the Finnish language for English speakers. Also, there is no reference for the sentence that Japanese consider Finnish "childishly easy". Considering that Japanese is a syllabic language and does not have many of the sounds in the Finnish language (for example, "l", "ll", "ö", "y", and most of the dipthongs), I have deleted that sentence completely.

A reference for the U.S Department of State would be prudent, but I do not know how to add footnotes. Additional references can be found in white papers written by the U.N. and studies done by American universities. The U.S. Department of State provides a comprehensive self-study program for the Finnish language.
