I was recently told that Hungarians aren't slavs but are instead an ethnic group called Magyars and are some kind of Uralic people.
I found this interesting and since I'm half Hungarian I'm curious, what can /his/ tell me about the Magyars and their origins?

I did, nothing was too revealing about where they came from and what their early history was.

>Hungarians aren't slavs but are instead an ethnic group called Magyars
that'd be correct
congrats, part of your family is now special snowflake, because Magyars are a non-indo-european people, like you said, uralic, who traveled to Hungary from central-ish russia and are related to Finns, Sami, Estonians, and a couple other bumfuck tribes around the Ural mountains.
They speak an Uralic language that was introduced by steppe invaders but are not genetically Uralic.

proto mongols, xiongu, nomadics that got pushed out of asia, gathered up some turkoid dna along the way of the steppe, smoked a fuck ton of pot, and then settled in the pannonian basin. basically nothing stopped cav archers until they got comfy and just chilled. at least until the musket was mass produced. ud have some slav.

>not genetically Uralic
genes are a terrible way of classifying people. they rarely correlate along the ethnolinguistic borders they are associated with exactly, and become gray and fuzzy many times.
just accept the ethnolinguistic classification your society is given.

>proto mongols, xiongu
those were wholly different people
>>1627576
This is the same as saying that American blacks are Indo-European because they speak some dialect vaguely resembling English. Unacceptable.
>>1627528
Slavs are only a linguistic group.

How the fuck are you half hungarian and didn't kno what a magyar was?

African-Americans are an understood clusterfuck.
regarding ethnicity, usualy it's about following the cultural history and origins of these people. These Bantu Niger-Congolese blacks had their culture and ethnic identity totally ripped away from them when they were enslaved, and they are floating in an ethnocultural no-man's-land.
With the Magyars it's much simpler, they retained their ethnic lineage unbrokenly, and so they are easily seen to Uralic.
TL;DR African-Americans are a mistake
>>1627592
They are indo-European though. It's not just the language, every aspect of their culture is informed by the rest of American culture. There is very little that is African in African Americans.
Americans in general are a weird case though.
>>1627603
exactly, they are not related to the Uralics

They are 1%. One drop rule. Romanians are also Turanic for the same reason.
>>1627602
Given that Hungary is smack dab in between the balkans and eastern Europe, I just always assumed they were a Slavic people.

>[Black Americans] are indo-European
No, they aren't. But this post is worth quoting for didactic purposes.
See OP this is the kind of person and this is the level of answer you're getting when you ask a question like this on an anime site.
Have a nice day.

That's not a counter. That's an unsubstantiated refuttal.

What makes someone Indo-European?
From ancient genetics we know that the original ones(Samara culture) are completely extinct except in a highly mixed form.

Magyarized slavs and vlachs from the pannonian plains, with a hint of the original magyar horde.
Any questions?

They were part of ancient Finno-mongolian horde that split up.

Your ancestors were probably more like Celts or Dacians who had to adopt the language of the Magyar elite.

T*rkics turned Slavs. You can see still-T*rkic Bulgars around the Volga river.
