    Wait which language? The Urheimat of Uralic languages definitely looks to be the ural mountains region that is taken as the western edge of siberia. As with genetics, the area of greatest diversity is almost always the origin point. That doesn’t always hold, and mountains tend to preserve diversity, but it’s definitely the only strong contender.

      Sorry, I didn’t mean to be unclear. My comment formed in the beginning of the original comment. I was regering to Finno-Ugric.
