Estonian sounds like delightful elven speech.

russian sounds like drunkards
Finnish, Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian are all beautiful in their own ways.
Russian sounds like a pig trying to reach some food that's behind bars.
Both will get replaced by English so who cares
Sadly that is true. Everyone there under 40 speaks English better than I do. Plus their languages are impossible to learn. They might as well just adopt English as their national language. That's the same for Sweden too.
Not happening. 5 million is plenty enough to sustain a language such as Finnish. The Dutch are in the biggest danger, theirs is dying way faster than any other European language at the moment.
Russian sounds good in my ears, Finnish sound very happy.
Never heard an Estonian speak
Yep I've heard that about the Dutch. I met a few Dutch in Helsinki and Tallinn, they speak perfect English with American accents - and I mean PERFECT.
Good! I am glad Finnish is a healthy language. My level in Estonian is B1 and Finnish is understandable. Much too pretty for either language to die.
Estonians abandoned vowel harmony at some point so it sounds pretty rough.
