I see no differences between them, but плaмя/flame sounds more poetic/epic.

All similarities that may appear, are merely coincidental. Finno-Ugrism is a lie invented by Austrians in the 19th century.

We need to start a language reform in Hungarian, Estonian and Finnish that will bring our languages mutual intelligibility.

I'd start with digging up as much archaic vocabulary as possible to cover the basics and then cross-loaning newer words where that fails. Grammar can follow on its own.
>>
>>70601367
We share literally less than 50 words between our languages. Or so linguists claim.

It's no coincidence people have doubts where we're related at all.

>>70601025

>>70601489
It's not the words. It's the general grammar and linquistic rules. Given that i don't feel any similarity to you anyway so don't get butthurt by linquistic facts.

There are languages with no distinction?

Probably some african languages which hadn't invented fire yet before evul whitey brought civilization.

>>70598543
Fuego y Flama

So, I guess so.
>>
fire and fire tongue
>>
Fire as phenomenon: fogo
The bright part of a fire: flama, chama (the later is more common)
Uncontrolled fire in a building or forest: incêndio
Bonfire: fogueira
>>
>>70602320
fuego
flama, llama
incendio
hoguera

pretty much the same thing, argies even pronunce llama as the portuguese chama for being so GALICIA'D
>>
>>70598543
fire=vatra
flame=plamen
>>
>>70601998
Yeah but for mutual intelligibility, vocabulary is key. So we're forever disconnected from our paprika-eating cousins ;___;
>>
>>70602471
Galician influence wouldn't change words beginning with "y", like "yo" (pronounced as [ʃo] by porteños). This is more of a chain consonant shift, ʎ>j>ʒ>ʃ, you can find the intermediate steps in other places. ([ʎ] in Cantabria, [j] in most Latin America, [ʒ] in Rosario)
>>
>>70602471
Also, it wasn't the first time. The later three steps already happened in Spanish once, "j" used to be pronounced like you guys say "llama".

And please stop implying Argentina is just BB AA.
>>
>>70601978
I used to work for a danish company so I understand danish really well compared to other swedes.

I'm from Patagonia, more than 80% of the population speaks pretty much the same, only cordobeses and people from NW complain about that. Nobody notes a difference when i go to BsAs.

Ossetian yes

Art
Cæxær (cæhær)

so literally every language has.

>more than 80% of the population speaks pretty much the same
Not quite... porteño accent is noticeable also for people from Entre Ríos, Corrientes and Santa Fé*... but yeah, I forgot Patagonia uses pretty much the same variety as Buenos Aires.

* I know this due to native speakers bitching.
