'''Estonian''' (''eesti keel'') is a Finno-Ugric language spoken by roughly 1.1 million people in Estonia. Though closely related to Finnish and distantly to Hungarian, Estonian bears almost no resemblance to any other European language in either vocabulary or grammar.

The '''lack of Indo-European language structures''' makes Estonian a rather difficult language to learn. The fact that it has more words of Indo-European origin than Finnish, for instance, it is slightly easier to learn. Even though many people in Estonia (especially young people) speak English and many understand Russian, an attempt at some basic phrases will definitely impress the locals and you will receive an enthusiastic welcome.

Pronunciation guide

Written Estonian is based on the Latin alphabet and uses 27 letters:

:'''a b d e f g h i j k l m n o p r s ? z ? t u v o a o u'''

Additionally, the letters '''c''', '''q''', '''w''', '''x''', and '''y''' are used in foreign proper names and quotes.

Pronunciation is fairly straightforward. Most words are pronounced as they are written, with a major exception being '''vowel length''' (''see below'').

Vowels

; '''a''' : like '''a''' in ''f'''a'''ther'' ; '''e''' : like '''e''' in ''g'''e'''t'' ; '''i''' : like '''ee''' in ''fl'''ee''''' ; '''o''' : like '''o''' in '''''o'''rder'' ; '''u''' : like '''oo''' in ''m'''oo'''n'' ; '''a''' : like '''a''' in ''h'''a'''t'' ; '''o''' : like German '''o''', similar to '''e''' in ''h'''e'''r'' ; '''u''' : like German '''u''', similar to '''ew''' in ''f'''ew''''' ; '''o''' : a uniquely Estonian sound pronounced with the tongue in the same position as the '''o''' sound, but with lips unrounded; kind of halfway between the '''e''' in ''g'''e'''t'' and the '''u''' in ''h'''u'''ng''

The duration of vowel sounds can be '''short''', '''long''', or '''overlong''', depending on the word. Short vowels are written with one letter, long and overlong vowels with two. Overlong vowels often change the pitch or stress of the syllable as well as the duration. ''There is no written distinction between long and overlong vowels''. Example: <blockquote> {| </blockquote>

Consonants

; '''c''' : like '''ts''' in ''ha'''ts''''' ; '''h''' : silent at the beginning of a word; before a vowel like English '''''h'''''; before a consonant harshly pronounced guttural '''''h''''' ; '''j''' : like '''y''' in '''''y'''es'' ; '''q''' : like '''k''' in '''''k'''itchen'' ; '''r''' : trilled, like Spanish '''''rr''''' ; '''s''' : like '''s''' in '''''s'''oap'' ; '''?''' : like '''sh''' in '''''sh'''oe'' ; '''?''' : like '''s''' in ''mea'''s'''ure'' ; '''w''' : like '''v''' in '''''v'''ery'' ; '''x''' : like '''x''' in ''e'''x'''cite''

; '''b d f g k l m n p t v y z''' : pronounced as in English

Consonants can appear doubled, such as '''kk''', '''pp''', '''tt''', etc., and are pronounced by inserting a glottal stop or prolonging the duration of the consonant.

Stress

The first syllable of a word is always stressed except foreign words which can have an accent mark showing the stressed syllable. For example: '''Ameerika''' (''ah-MAAY-ree-kah'').
