Having worked with both people I respectfully disagree.
While spoken Finnish do sound a lot like Hungarian (to me, a native Hungarian ) - total gibberish but very similar vowels, voices, pronunciation rules etc - I don't know any English-speaker who'd agree with me...

Spoken Turkish just as close to spoken Hungarian as spoken Greek is...
