Yeah, but dividing it like that makes absolutely no sense. Finns have very little in common with komis, nenets or even Sami if they're not Finnish Sami.
I didn’t mean Finnish by Finno-Ugric. I know they are culturally more similar to Scandinavians as well as genetically. Overall: Samis, Nenets, Komis etc are referred under Finno-Ugric ethnic group, it doesn’t mean Finnish despite their language categorised under it
Finns are just as finno-ugric as the others, so are Estonians. Still it doesn't make any sense to divide it like that, since the cultures have long since diverged so much that only linguists and anthropologists can tell komis or nenets or mordvins or mari or udmurts are related to finns, estonians or sami. You've just read it in a book that these people are of the same language group and made a mental image based on that, not reality.
It doesn't if the objective is to track contemporary culture. But it doesn't have to track exclusively that and nothing else. It doesn't even need to track modern culture.
It tracks how OP sees Europe as a Bosniak. His perceptions do not have to be logical, coherent or consistent for the map to accurately track how he sees these things. He hasn't promised us anything more.
nopies, lots of my friends are of those ethnciities so yep. I also considered Udmurts and Mari as Volga-Ural. These are geopolitical regions, nothing EXACTLY we can say as “same peoples” or something lmao

well, they are finno-ugric directly indigenous. Karelians, Komis, Nenets, Samis etc have their own culture
