This was fun!!! Yay! :)

Seimi:
------------------
Irish       0.0458
Frisian     0.0277
Lithuanian  0.0268
Estonian    0.0251

Comments: Hooray! I've succeeded! The base is North Saami
words changed phonologically to look like Irish Gaelic. I
had to change the words just a very little pinch and make
the diphthongs rising instead of falling. Well, some more
too, but that was basically it.


Seimi with a bit more vocab:
----------------------------
Irish       0.0547
Lithuanian  0.0260
Estonian    0.0259
Welsh       0.0245

Comments: Still the same result. This is the sample text:
"Daeselaidh goddi mis giall. Lwodadh giall. Isae minn gae
lea daevas is. Leachedh raesaidh namma mis donn. Bwathëchedh
mà mis donn. Adaidh mijaedh siemën buivim minn buivi deith."


Rinya:
------------------
Finnish     0.0602
Swedish     0.0509
Sotho       0.0427
Romanian    0.0339

Comments: Hey Yoon Ha! I also got Sotho. I'm very surprised
to see the heavy Swedish influence. That was unexpected. Is
Rinya and Chevraqis really that similar? :)


Nakiltipkaspimak:
------------------
Inupiaq     0.0248
Ojibwe      0.0171
Hungarian   0.0146
Aymara      0.0144

Comments: It seems that Nakiltipkaspimak doesn't really
resemble any language. Inupiaq wasn't very unexpected, though.
