I read a scientific paper once (once was enough) that speculated that Finnish is actually the more root and father language of mankind than sanskrit. The original Finnish had a words for "blonde", "hot-blonde" and "hot, drunken blonde over there, naked, in there in the hot springs". Sanskrit, and the Indian subcontinent, had no such words. And being a colder climate, those deep ancient Fins thought deep thoughts about deep things.
