The language is called 'Finnish', yes, but the same word can also be used as an adjective describing what nationality one is of. It's pretty easy in English because there's only one word to denote the nationality, there are three different languages spoken in Finland that I know of, and at least in Finnish and Swedish there are different terms for a person depending on which language is ones native.

I did not back you up, I just didn't comment on it, I actually think it would be a Welsh person, not sure what the language would be called... possibly Gaelic.

I did not back him up on someone from Wales being a whale. Don't get any weird ideas, the rest looks correct to me.
