19世纪时赫尔辛基贵族上层社会以及受过教育的人基本都会瑞典语，很多甚至只会瑞典语。作为芬兰的经济文化重心，他们如果没有敏感的政治判断力，在选择语言时，把瑞典语作为民族语言是完全有可能的。所以选择芬兰语放弃瑞典语显然是政治动机非常明确的行为。民族就是发明出来的。台湾的国民党显然就没有芬兰当时的精英有眼光

&rt;Variation within Finns is, according to fixation index (FST) values, greater than anywhere else in Europe. Greatest intra-Finnish FST distance is found about 60, greatest intra-Swedish FST distance about 25.[63][64] FST distances between for example Germans, French and Hungarians is only 10, and between Estonians, Russians and Poles it is also 10.[65] Thus Finns from different parts of the country are more remote from each other genetically compared to many European peoples between themselves.[66] The closest genetic relatives for Finns are Estonians (FST to Helsinki 40 and to Kuusamo 90) and Swedes (FST to Helsinki 50 and to Kuusamo 100). The FST values given here are actual values multiplied by 10,000. The great intra-Finnish (FST) distance between Western Finns and Eastern Finns[63][64] supports the theorized dual origin of the Finns[67] based on the regional distribution of the two major Y-DNA haplogroups, N1c in Eastern Finland and I1a in Western Finland.[61]

东西芬兰的基因差异十分巨大，要严格按照基因来划的话，西边和瑞典划一起比起东西芬兰在一起要合理的多。

体量差距巨大，芬兰武德已经是一流武德了
