- Estonian is among the few European languages that does belong to the Indo-European family of languages. Instead , as mentioned above, it is a part of the Baltic Finnic branch of Uralic languages.
- Though there are some vocabulary overlaps with the neighboring languages like Latvian, Russian and Swedish, Estonian is not related to any of them. Though it has to a certain extent been influenced by Swedish, Latvian and Russian due to close contact between the respective speakers.
- Estonian grammar prescribes a Subject Verb Object order.
- Estonian language is characterized by a distinctive feature which has been of great interest to linguists. We are talking about the phoneme length which can be found having three degrees that is short, long and overlong, each being distinct.
- Like other languages Estonian is also spoken with regional variations. Estonian dialects can be divided into two divisions. They are northern and southern dialects spoken in the cities of Tallinn in north and Tartu in south. Additionally there is a distinct dialect, kirderanniku which is spoken in the northeastern coast of Estonia.
- The standard Estonian language is based on the northern group of dialects that consists of the kesk or middle dialect. Other dialects in the northern group are the western dialect or lääne, the islands' dialect or saarte and the eastern dialect or ida. The southern dialect group comprises the Seto, Võro, Mulgi, and Tartu dialects. However many consider Seto as a variant of Võro rather than being a dialect of Estonian.
- Estonian alphabet derives from the Latin system of letters with a few additional letters of its own.
