What about Italians? Any Italians?

I usually start my posts on your threads with a bad joke to hide my utter ignorance of almost EVERY thread topic you post!

But I delight in learning about each and every one.

NICE to get away from politics for a while and read some incredible history and see some incredible pics!!

So the Finno-Ugric linguistic group gets expanded from the old school trio of Finnish, Estonian, and Hungarian.

Was always curious about the Hungarians seemingly isolated from their northern linguistic relatives. This study shows the possible east-west migration from Siberia. Maybe there was a migratory segment that traveled south?

Thanks for the post.

Particularly because it mentioned the Saami people - which many refer to as “Laplanders”.

It led to me researching them more, leading to the knowledge that the entered the geographic areas they are known to inhabit, before the Germanic tribes/clans that later became known to us today as the Swedes and Norwegians. Also, in Finland, the Saami traditionally occupied areas that the “Finns” did not.

When you see the traditional dwellings of the Saami, they look alot like the dwellings of the native Americans on the northern plains’ that we call teepees.
