Regular sound correspondences between Hungarian and other Uralic languages Regular sound correspondences between Hungarian and other Uralic languages There are numerous regular sound correspondences between Hungarian and the other Uralic languages. For example, Hungarian "á" corresponds to Khanty "o" in certain positions, and Hungarian "h" corresponds to Khanty "x", while Hungarian final "z" corresponds to Khanty final "t". These can be seen in Hungarian "ház" ("house") and Khanty "xot" ("house"), or Hungarian "száz" ("hundred") and Khanty "sot" ("hundred"). Hungarian and Khanty are closely connected, either genealogically or as part of a language area. The distance between Hungarian and the Finnic languages is greater, but the correspondences are also regular.
Finnish locative system Finnish locative system The Finnish language has eight locative cases, and some Eastern dialects symmetrify the system with the exessive case. These can be classified according to a three-way contrast of entering, residing in, and exiting a state, and there are three different systems of these cases. This system is similar to that of Estonian, and can be reconstructed to the Proto-Finnic locative system. It is immediately noticeable from the table that the "exiting" forms ("sta/lta/nta") have the same consonant as the "residing" forms ("ssa/lla/na") added with the Finnish partitive case ending "-ta". This may be traced into a Proto-Uralic
