Well, they can make their own common language if they want, that would still reduce the number of Finno-Urgic languages by 50% ha ha (not sure about the language group name, my memory is blurry)

Hungarian and Finnish are far enough, the Finno-Ugric group is as diverse as the Indoeuropean one, it was just mostly wiped out in the Great Migrations.

Hungarian is actually Ugric IIRC, and it is as close to Finnish as English is to Russian. The grammar is similar in some ways, but I don't think there is substantial shared similar vocabulary.
