Finland can be seen as a Scandinavian country, but language wise, the Nordic languages are Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Faroese and Icelandic. And the alphabet is not common between them, for instance Swedish doesn't have ø but use ö instead, and Icelandic has ð and more accents.

In terms of keyboard layouts, though, the Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Faroese, Greenlandic, and Estonian layouts are all very closely related.

Icelandic is kind of an oddball mix of Danish layout, US layout, and a few keys that don't show up anywhere else.
