The Estonian language (eesti keel)
Estonian is the official language of Estonia and spoken by about 1.1 million native speakers. It is written using the Latin alphabet with the additional letters Ä, Ö, Ü and Õ. The letters S and Z also appear with a caron: Š, Ž.
Estonian is closely related to Finnish, making it easy to learn for a native speaker of Finnish. There are so many similarities in the vocabularies of Estonian and Finnish that their speakers can understand each other to some extent.
However, there are also plenty of so-called “false friends” in these languages, meaning words and expressions that look similar, but mean something completely different in the other language. Estonian grammar and pronunciation also differ slightly from Finnish.
