Thanks for the lesson in basic Estonian, unigolyn. :) That cleared up a lot of things. Anyway, I agree with you on the foreign influences causing the differences. Would have been so much easier if the Swedes had invaded both Finland and Estonia for the same length of time back before the 19th century...

And I'll have to say that those examples of the mixups are hilarious... :D

Andean, totally unrelated to Mayan.

Yes, Greedo barely understood Huttese. An older bounty hunter talked to Jabba for him.
