The people now in Hungary call themselves, "Magyars".

Yeah, the Magyar language is found in Hungary (with a few nearby pockets) and in Finland, so it's not exactly true that Finnish is an isolate. The two tongues were isolated from one another though, developing separately, and with completely different loan vocabularies. So they're not just dialects either.

Where's Cronos? We need that cool language family tree graphic.
