Dotnaught writes to tell us Reuters is reporting that the science fiction spoof "Star Wreck: in the Pirkinning" has become Finland's most viewed movie. From the article: " [...] relying on free distribution over the Internet to reach more than 3 million viewers in less than two months. "Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning" is a full-length feature in Finnish with English subtitles. It was made by a group of students and other amateur film makers with a bare-bones budget and a few home computers to create elaborate special effects."

the difference is vast. finnish is a whole different language family.

the most widespread language family in europe is the indoeuropean. the exceptions are: finno-ugric language family (finnish, estonian, sami, hungarian), and the basque language (isolated language, no family)
