well as I used to sing in that choir and I'm from Estonia, I should say that Estonian is definitely an European language and it's a Finnish-Ugry (not quite sure how it's spelled in English) language which is also part of the Indo-European languages.
But you are right the theory is still questioned as similar sounding words lack in these families. But there are certain words such as "kaiken" in Finnish meaning everything wheras in Japenese (Altaic) it means together so the theory has alot of legitimecy (pardon my spelling mistakes)
this is interesting since Estonian is not a European language. Estonian, Finnish & Hungarian are all Uralic languages. they have distant ties to mongolian & other eastern languages.
well, you are not quite correct. These three languages are European languages (because they are spoken in Europe), they are not Indo-European languages. And the ties with Mongolian or Turkic languages are really questionable, they could have ties with Indo-European languages as well.
Well Turkish is spoken in Europe, but it's still not an Indo-European language. They are called Uralic languages because their point of origin is the Ural mountains in siberia. The ties to the Altaic languages (mongolic & Turkic, & Tungusic) is theorized by many linguists because their grammer is so similar. The Ural mountains are also not much far from the Altay mountains.

I don't what it is about children's choirs, but I very much enjoy them. Thanks for sharing this.

the strange this was, they weren't really children per se. probably the average age was early teens, like 14 maybe. still, they were really good. :D
