Hungary, which obviously is derived from the word "Hun", has a language of Uralic origin. It is quite certain that Hungary had heavy influence by the Huns. Interestingly, a Hungarian friend told me that Hungarians put their family first when they address people, which is distinctly different from other European culture, but similar to Chinese culture. Whether this is the influence of the original Huns or the Mongolian occupation later in 1200 AD is uncertain.

Hungarians are a mixed people. The term comes from a Uralic and Ughuric (West Turk) phrase On-Uighur or 10 Arrows/tribes. These were the Uralic Magyars, Avars (these actually were part of teh Hun hoarde), and the Khabars.

Magyars have nothing to do with China. Uralic peoples origionate in the steppe between teh Capsian and Aral Seas and the up the Ural mountains on the east side of the Volga river.
The Magyars and affiliated tribes swept into the upper Danube and Panagonian plain in the late 9th century.

The Uygars have adopted one of the 4,000 year old desert mummies of the Tarim Basin as the mother of their country. "The Beauty Of Loulan." The image is displayed on flags, stationery and coins.

Hungarians are a mixed people.

They share a language root with only two other groups of people,the Finns,and a tribe of original Russian "Indians" (for lack of a better word)called the Mari. Since the Mari look and lived exactly like American Indians,and the Finns also had a similiar appearance,I'm thinking the Picts originated in what is now called Hungary,and they are the "missing link" in this stew pot. They were a traveling people,and I strongly suspect they were the original "Vikings",too. This would help explain why this group of white people had a language built on the same base as the Asiatic-looking Mari and Finns.
