| About 1000 BC, speakers of Uralic languages arrived in the north and assimilated with the indigenous population, becoming the Sami people. |
| In contrast, the Saami, Finns, and Estonians speak languages belonging to the Uralic family, otherwise spoken across a broad region of northern Asia. |
| The evidence for Indo-European, Uralic, Austronesian and so on is overwhelming, and there is no reason not to go deeper. |
| Thousands of years ago the ancestors of both the present Finno-Ugrians and the Samoyeds lived together in their Uralic homeland. |
| When the Uralic languages were first spoken in the area of contemporary Finland is debated. |
| The initial stress in certain Uralic languages, Ob-Ugrian in particular, in which earlier harmony systems have ceased to operate, creates the appearance of the UVR systems. |
