Did you think that the Finnish language was born in the mythical bend of the Volga thousands of years ago? The detective work of researchers constantly reveals new information about the primordial obscurity of language. At the same time, old misunderstandings are broken.
1st misconception: Cantaural was a primitive and simple language
Let’s be clear right away: here, as in the other claims in this story, according to current research, it is a misunderstanding.
All languages spoken today have evolved from other languages. The ancestor of the Finnish language is the Cantaural language. It is not certain where Kantaural developed and originated, but it is proven that it was spoken more than 4,000 years ago in the area of present-day Russia, more precisely in the area between the Volga and Kama rivers.
