Abstract
This paper is a tribute not only to Hans Frede Nielsen but also to all the other Danish linguists on behalf
of all the Finnish linguists. Namely, Finland would hardly have become a “superpower” in Uralic studies without the boost of
the two great Danish Indo-Europeanists, Rasmus Rask and Vilhelm Thomsen, who were instrumental in launching the two
19th-century comparative linguistic revolutions in Finland: Palaeogrammarian and Neogrammarian. While Rask served as a role
model for the earliest Finnish Uralicists A. J. Sjögren and M. A. Castrén, Thomsen started the modern era in Finnic and Sámi
studies, inspiring the foremost Finnish Neogrammarians E. N. Setälä and J. J. Mikkola.
