Finnish Translation and typesetting example

Finnish  is a Finno-Ugric language and has one of the most complex grammatical structures in the world. It is distantly related to Hungarian. It is an agglutinative language, which adds suffixes instead of prepositions, as in English. Until 1809 Finland was a part of Sweden and Swedish was the official language. From 1863 the Finnish language could be used along with Swedish when dealing with authorities. Civil servants were obliged to use the Finnish language and issue documents in Finnish from 1883. In 1892 Finnish became an official language and gained a status comparable to that of Swedish. Today Finland is officially bilingual in Finnish and Swedish.
