Finck visited the Aran Islands of Ireland, where he lived with speakers of Irish Gaelic. His research on the phonology of Irish resulted in the book Die araner mundart: ein beitrag zur erforschung des westirischen (The Aran Dialect: A Contribution to the Exploration of Western Irish).[2] This work was characteristic of Finck's emphasis on the study of remote dialects of languages.[3]

He went on to work on a broad variety of languages, but was best known to his colleagues for his work on languages of the Caucasus. He also worked extensively on the Armenian language, compiling a grammar of that language.[4]

Finck held the belief[1] (now known to be mistaken) that all of the languages of the Caucasus were related.

Among his students was John Peabody Harrington.
