This is a Swadesh list which compares Estonian and Võro. Later other Baltic-Finnic languages (Finnish, Votic, Karelian, Livonian etc) could be added. Excuse me if I have done here something wrong. Maybe sombody can make a correct table? Võrok

The Votic section is not entirely correct: http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Answering_Votian_questions

Moreover there are many synonyms, which are not displayed. E.g. Finnish has the word "mäki" and Estonian has "voor" as well. In official languages they have slightly different meaning, but the distinction is not so clear in their living versions. Also: "hieroa - hõõruda (scratch), purra - pureda" etc. --Mikk 08:17, 4 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
