So when do you think the Saami began speaking Uralic

==============

A.F

What do you mean ?

Saami people are obviously Uralic, and never spoke anything but Uralic.

Saami is definitely conservative, in the Uralic family.

===================

and the Finns moved into Finland?

=================

A.F

They moved into Eastern Europe,

After Germanic split into Westic and Nordic,

and after Iranian split from Indic.

So it must be rather late,

A rough guess : after - 2 000 BC.

====================

Saami, supposedly has 25% pre-Uralic substrate and I
have no clue about any substrate in Finnish.
I've always wondered about shared substrate among
Germanic, Saami, Balto-Finnic and Baltic --but none of
you will get up off your duffs and figure it out for
me.
