Finnish, a Uralic language similar to Estonian, is the official language of the Republic of Finland. It is spoken by 6 million people in Northern Europe. Outside of Finland it is spoken in Estonia, Ingria, Karelia, Norway, Sweden and the Torne Valley. In Sweden, it is recognized as an official minority language. Finnish is also spoken by emigrant populations in Russia, Canada, and the United States. Finnish was an oral language until it was annexed by Sweden in the Middle Ages, but, even then, it was only used for daily conversations and routine chores because Swedish was used for administration and Latin dominated religion. But by the 19th century, activists like Johan Snellman, among others, began an effort to modernize Finnish, and by the end of the century, Finnish had become part of the language of literature and science, as well as used alongside Swedish for written administration. The struggle to modernize Finnish made a huge leap when Elias Lonnrot compiled Finnish folklore in an epic poem called the Kalevala.
