Any Estonian linguists here?
At work today I noticed that a shipping box was printed with its contents (a chain saw) in 25 different languages. I was struck by the similarity of Estonian to Dutch, and Latvian to Swedish, and Lithuanian seems almost Latin in character, whereas I would have thought it would more resemble Finnish. So, do any of you know what language groups these three represent?
