On 19 October 2019, the Estonian National Museum will host a Finno-Ugrian Day.

The UN has declared 2019 the International Year of Indigenous Languages. Therefore, this year’s Finno-Ugrian Days are dedicated to indigenous languages to raise awareness of and promote endangered languages. More than one third, i.e. 2680 indigenous languages, of the 7000 languages spoken in the world are endangered. The majority of Finno-Ugric languages are also in danger of extinction or endangered.
