In Finnish the names of languages are often the same as that of the country or a geographic area where the language is spoken, only with a small initial letter:
France -> French = Ranska -> ranska (or, if necessary for avoiding confusion, ranskan kieli)
England -> English = Englanti -> englanti (id., englannin kieli)
Or, (like in English) the name of a language can be same as the word referring to a member of the nation, tribe, etc. that speaks the language:
Aztec -> Aztec = atsteekki -> atsteekki (id., atsteekin kieli).
Any name of a language can be combined with the adjective kielinen to produce an adjective which refers to that particular language. Note that the name of the language is in genitive:
englanti -> englanninkielinen = English (English-language)
The word kielinen can be used alone in cases where the language is not specified, such as in questions.
