Wikipedia
Finns or Finnish people (, ) are a Finnic ethnic group native to Finland.
The group ethnic Finns includes smaller groups in several countries, some of whom are native to these countries and some who have immigrated there. The groups that are native to their countries include the Baltic Finns of Finland and smaller native populations in neighboring countries include the Kvens and Forest Finns in Norway, the Tornedalians of Sweden, and the Ingrian Finns of Russia. The groups that have immigrated to their respective countries include the Finnish-speaking population of Sweden and groups in the United States, Canada, Brazil and Australia.
Finnish, the language spoken by most Baltic Finns, is closely related to other Finnic languages, e.g. Estonian and Karelian. The Finnic languages are a subgroup to the Uralic family of languages, which also includes Hungarian. These languages are markedly different from most other languages spoken in Europe, which belong to the Indo-European family of languages. Native Finns can be divided according to dialect into subgroups sometimes called heimo (lit. tribe), although such divisions have become less important due to internal migration.
