"When we travel, we see the unusual and start to think more deeply about life".
Tõnu Seilenthal (1947) is an Estonian linguist (Fenno-Nugricist) and lecturer.
Tõnu Seilenthal's main research areas are the historical morphology of Finno-Ugric languages, Khanty, Hungarian, Hungarology, and the contrastive study of Hungarian and Estonian.
He is also an active participant in the Finno-Ugric tribal movement. He is a board member of the Fenno-Ugria Foundation and is active in several cultural societies of related peoples.
At the end of the sixties, Seilenthal acted as a consultant

activities of the Society have now changed due to the Russian-Ukrainian war.
