What other languages use lots of noun cases like Finnish does?

Many languages of the Caucusus Mountains use a lot of noun cases including Georgian and Circian (or Kabardian). Certainly, Basque, Eskimo (Inuit in Canada), the Bantu languages of Africa and all the Australian aboriginal languages do too. Although the Bantu ones would end mostly in vowels too. These languages would all be worth checking out although you might have to get to a good college library to find grammars and dictionaries on some of them.
