Tangyra organises a "Pikkujoulu" in our office in Ukraine.
Pikkujoulu (or "small christmas") is a kind of pre-party in Finland,
organised between colleagues or between friends during december.
You are all welcome. If you plan to come, please tell us so that we send
you an invitation.
Have a look at this very interesting website "muturzikin",
where you can find very valuable information about languages.
That's originally a website about Bask people.

Europe is very instructive and can help to locate where the
Finno-Ugric languages are spoken.
But if you want to see the Finno-Ugric languages spoken in the Russian
Federation, like Udmurt for instance,
you must refer to the
map of Asia
