Editing Dialect continuum (section)

=== Uralic languages ===

The other major language family in Europe besides Indo-European are the [[Uralic languages]]. The [[Sami languages]], sometimes mistaken for a single language, are a dialect continuum, albeit with some disconnections like between [[North Sami language|North]], [[Skolt Sami language|Skolt]] and [[Inari Sámi language|Inari Sami]]. The [[Baltic-Finnic languages]] spoken around the [[Gulf of Finland]] form a dialect continuum. Thus, although [[Finnish language|Finnish]] and [[Estonian language|Estonian]] are considered as separate languages, there is no definite linguistic border or isogloss that separates them. This is now more difficult to recognize because many of the intervening languages have declined or become extinct.
