Over the course of many centuries, the Finnish language has borrowed many words from a wide variety of languages, most from neighbouring Indo-European languages. Owing to the different grammatical, phonological and phonotactic structure of the Finnish language, loanwords from Indo-European have been assimilated.
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Finnish (Finnish: Suomen kieli) is a Uralic language. It is one of the two official languages of Finland. It is also an official minority language in Sweden.

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".
[citation needed] Because the Finnish language itself reached a written form only in the 16th century, little primary data remains of early Finnish life. For example, the origins of such cultural icons as the sauna , the kantele (an instrument of the zither family), and the Kalevala (national epic) have remained rather obscure.
