In my article The Modern Proto-Ugric language, I spoke about the need for the Artificial Finno-Ugric language. At that time, I hadn’t heard about Budinos constructed language designed by to be an international auxiliary language for speakers of Finno-Ugric languages. Budinos builds mainly on Udmurt and Hungarian but also has features from Finnish, Estonian, Mari, and other related languages.

Don’t throw your ax in the river. There is more to come as soon as I have translated the Russian Budinos Manual into English, at least a bit. Without checking, you don’t know what is waiting for you behind the corner.

If anyone sees any typos or factual errors, please let me know so I can correct them. I am translating excerpts from Budinos’ Russian manual.
