A close call!

Iceland was way off. The non-Germanic language and the brisk (=quick, full of energy) style was not really Northern European. It couldn’t have been Bulgarian or Slovak as these are Slavic languages and a little bit similar to Russian.

Hungary was the correct answer. Hungarian is from the Finno-Ugric family of languages and a distant relative of Finnish and Estonian. It is also an agglutinating language (=a language in which new words are formed by sticking parts of words together), just like Turkic (=Uzbek, Turkish, Kazakh, Uyghur, etc.) languages.
