Do you know any book like this I can read?.. Funny but my finnish language teacher told me she hasnt got a clue about this and couldnt suggest me anything! Maybe your language has no history at all??? :twisted: vitsi tietysti!! I love your wondeful language!

Well, yes, but in Finnish... and horridly boring some of them. I think though Veikko Huovinen had something of the sort though...

Suomea ennen ja nyt
Häkkinen, Kaisa: Mistä sanat tulevat
Häkkinen, Kaisa: Suomalaisten esihistoria kielitieteen valossa
Hakulinen, Lauri: Suomen kielen rakenne ja kehitys
Lehtinen, Tapani: Pääkohtia suomen kielen äännehistoriasta

How're those for a start? :) What kind of teacher do you have that didn't
know about those? :roll:
