Thanks for this post.
I'm afraid you are. It's one of the Scandinavian languages. No doubt someone
will jump in with the precise attribution - perhaps even a native speaker.
Apparently the Scandinavian languages have diverged so little[1] that it is
possible to teach a mixed class in a language which I heard described as
"Scandiwegian".
The education centre catered for all the countries of the region and so
included the Finns. However, since they use a language with a quite
different inheritance, they were - so indeed to speak - somewhat left out in
the cold!

[1] An Icelandic[2] boy who was my guest over a short school holiday was
able to talk to a Norwegian man in a sailing club we visited utterly without
difficulty.
[2] Which reminds me of another little story associated with this boy - and
the fact that Iceland is a rather small country. Many years later I attended
an international course where it turned out that the Danish representative
was actually from Iceland. I mentioned my guest and his response was "I knew
his brother better."!

This is a funny movie (In Dutch if I am not mistaken) but it
transcends language.
