  Perhaps I'm not the best one to judge because Finnish is my native
language and thus I can tell in a microsecond that it's not Finnish.

  Actually my very first intuition (before examining it too closely) is
that it might be Estonian because it "looks a bit like Finnish but isn't",
exactly like Estonian. So maybe that's a sign that it might pass as
Finnish (or Estonian) to someone who is only vaguely familiar with the
language.
