Overview
About the programme
The Finno-Ugric Languages staff at Uppsala University publishes regularly on many aspects of the major languages Estonian, Finnish, and Hungarian, though in Uppsala there is also a strong tradition of research on Saami (at present especially on North Saami, South Saami, and Lule Saami).
