All of you need to fuck off, seriously
Racially speaking hungarians have always been germanic with an eastern nordid influence
You think it's a """coincidence""" that magyar mythology features a world tree and many of the common germanic folklore beings aswell? Even their chief god has striking similarities with Thor/Odin.
Also, their script resembles the futhark extremely closely. They're basically a southeastern offshoot of northern germanics.
Pan-turanism is a mental illness

World trees are extremely common among North Eurasian folklore, it's more likely that Germanics got it from them.
>Also, their script resembles the futhark extremely closely. They're basically a southeastern offshoot of northern germanics.
They look similar because they both ultimately go back to the Phoenician alphabet and have an angular shape from mainly being used for carving.
Is there any authoritative scholarship for any particular theory?
>>1484611
If World Tree is Germanic how will you explain World Tree idea in Central Asian Turkic culture.

Ugric-Urallic, why is this even a question?
>>1484356
Nope.
The Romans called the Magyars Vardariots or Scythian.
>>1486033
Was the language they spoke
But they're pretty far removed from the other Ugrics, Mansi and Khanty in every other way
>>1486111
You'd see that since they're far away from their urheimat, but that just makes them Uralic at their core with a lot of other influences.
You're al wrong, clearly they were Slavs speaking a Uralic language.

The Ugric people originally were steppe nomads, but due to a climate change (their habitat became very arid) they broke to two groups: one group that later became the magyars and moved to the south, continued being steppe nomads, breeding horse and cattle. The other moved to the north where it rained more and switched to farming, herding reindeers and trapping fur. They were using recurve bows for hunting until the 19th century, pointing to their steppe origin. And even after moving to the north, many of them remained nomadic (just herding reindeers instead of horses and cattle) until the Soviet Union forced them to settle down.
