Re: Postpone request
I'll take your word for it being Finno-Ugric, Ygorl. I learned this stuff in Finnish, and my construction is just conjencture. Fenno- is the usual prefix, as in Fenno-American.
Altaic languages (like Turkish) are in some ways similar to the Uralic ones, but they are not part of the same family. Indeed, Turkish and Japanese are probably closer to each other than Finnish and Turkish. The Uralic-Altaic family was never generally accepted, if memory serves.
For the Uralic family the origin is unclear, apparently it was West of the Ural mountain range, in any case.
