Well I know it's more of a language isolate than Latvian or Lithuanian, which share more elements with Polish and other surrounding languages. It would be harder to learn, in spite of the apparently fun overlapping language quirks.

Language isolate? Estonian is pretty damn similar to Finnish.

And Lithuanian is the closest thing we've got to Proto-Indo European; that sort of makes them an isolate by staying put while everyone else has moved away.

Found a neat quote about it: "Anyone wishing to hear how Indo-Europeans spoke should come and listen to a Lithuanian peasant." -- Antoine Meillet

I've been to the capital Tallinn and the second-biggest city Tartuu, and visited the countryside a bit. This was in 2013. The whole country is quaint as fuck, even the major cities, so just pick based on price and proximity to an airport that flies to Western Europe for convenience.

The way things are going, Estonia might be under Russian control within a decade. You'd be safer in America than in any of the Baltic or central European states.

I'd be careful. If you're hoping to avoid war, it happens to be where the third world war is going to break out.

I'm actually courting a girl who I think is from Estonia for a bit. I told her I couldn't do much because I broke my foot and she broke her's too like 2 weeks ago. Her attitude was that she already broke the other nine being a ballerina. It's that can-do spirit that I like, vs. whatever the stupid Donald Trumpet is gonna President this country into what EH was talking about bullshit that I like. So maybe I'll be Mr. Infinite Zest but who says

"Language isolate? Estonian is pretty damn similar to Finnish."

I can believe that, since Finnish for "you might solve a mystery or rewrite history" is "I'm going to stroke it, your arms are broken".

Uhg, you are all so wrong~Estonia is a lot like French and by that I mean around 1800 they sat down and decided to make up a national language. It's basically Finnish with a vowel length accent and a whole bunch of words they literally made up. Latvian and Lithuanian are more like a living Proto-Slavic but Latvian has a heavy German influence while Lithuanian has tried to make a point of ridding it self of Polish and Russian words.

Yeah, proximity to Russia and the likelihood that it'll be first on the list of reconquests are my biggest tallies against Estonia. I could always move to Estonia, then move again a few years later, but that seems a bit pointless.

Other countries on my list include back to Britain (which is an Orwellian hellhole right now, but I might be able to get into my grandparent's will), Mexico (which seems like a fun place, and will probably re-annex the southwestern United States soon), Japan (emotionally and mentally I'm already a clinically depressed Japanese man, plus I could finally fulfill my dream of being a Japanese pro-wrestler whose gimmick is a Caucasian uyoku dantai ultra-nationalist), Nigeria, and any random Pacific island which has electricity, sharks, and wifi access.

Maggot Brain, that sounds like Italian even more than French. Italian as a language hardly even exists inside the country, it's an amalgamation of something like a dozen similar but distinct languages (that are now called "dialects") that was created as part of the Italian unification in the 1850s. If you actually go to Italy, the locals aren't generally going to be speaking "Italian" with one another, they'll be speaking Tuscan or Venetian or whatever language is spoken where you happen to be.

Not saying you're wrong at all, you aren't. It's just that Italian is roughly contemporary with Estonian from what you said, while French is older, old enough I think it's fair to consider it a real language now.

How do you say 'post office'?

"Commal ofer Mi"

Say "Good morning."

"Ejeeculate eenside moy goat's rectuum vhile I feeelm eet for japoneese DVD markeeet."

I was having fun representing normal straight men on here for a minute, and you poetv'ed it.

you guys are the best.

Oh now I get it. Ludwig Vitchgnegsdkjdshgstin would like this because everybody likes a good cocksucking.
