Editing Slavic languages (section)

=== Finno-Ugric languages ===
[[Finnic languages|Finnic]] languages have many words in common with Slavic languages. According to Petri Kallio, this suggests Slavic words being borrowed into Finnic languages, as early as Proto-Finnic.{{sfn|Kallio|2006}} Many loanwords have acquired a Finnicized form, making it difficult to say whether such a word is natively Finnic or Slavic.{{sfn|Mustajoki|Protassova|2014}}

[[Russian dialects]] have numerous borrowings from [[Finno-Ugric languages]], particularly for forest terms and geographical names.<ref>Teush, O. À. (2019).
