a võro keelen om vabahelükokkokõla JA õ JA korge õ(y) JA kakkõhelü (hõq) ja soomõ kiil või kõgõst tuust õnnõ und nätäq <3

i guess you are right... maybe finnish has something to learn from võro afterall

I will nominate nganasan as the best uralic language, though. nothing can top it!

History

1686 - earliest written evidence

1980s - language revival

Writing system and pronunciation

These are the letters that make up the script: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s š z ž t u v w õ ä ö ü x y '.

Võro features vowel harmony, which distinguishes front, back, and neutral vowels. A word cannot have both front and back vowels, so suffixes adapt vowel backness according to the stem.

Grammar

Nouns have two numbers (singular and plural) and fourteen cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, partitive, illative, inessive, elative, allative, adessive, ablative, translative, termintive, abessive, and comitative).

The accusative is usually not considered a separate case, as it is identical to the nominative or the genitive.

Verbs are conjugated for tense, mood, person, and number. Negation is expressed using a negative particle at the end of the verb.

Dialects

There does not seem to be any dialectal variation.
