this is a map of germanic and norse languages
There's also Hungarian, Finnish and Estonian which are in a different language family.
yeah but hungarian doesnt have a word for toes...
Tell that to the map maker
if hungarian doesn't Finnish probably doesn't either
that doesnt follow. hungarian is related to finnish but they havent had any contact for like 4k years or something. that's more than enough time to develop a word for toe and lose it repeatedly :)
fair point
this says it does: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/varvas#Finnish
