1525 CE

The Estonian language belongs to the Finnic branch of the Uralic family of languages, as does the Finnish language.

The first known book in Estonian is printed in 1525, while the oldest known examples of written Estonian originate in thirteenth-century chronicles.

Estonians are genetically closest to their neighboring Tver region Russians and Latvians.

However, Estonians are still the nearest genetic relatives of Finns.
