Moomin not originally in Finnish
"In the English translation of the children's book Finn Family Moomintroll by Tove Jansson, the characters Thingummy and Bob communicate in spoonerisms. In the original Finnish, they used Sananmuunnos."
This book was originally written in Swedish, as can be seen on its own Wikipedia-page.
