Origin of the Finns, Hungarians and other Uralians

Greetings from Finland to Estonian brothers, Hungarian cousins, distant Uralic relatives and everyone else.

I am American and ran out of money in Morroco. A Finnish 18 wheeler drive gave me a ride back to Paris (from Morroco), He paid for ferry ticket from Morroco to Europe, covered all my meals and expenses, with a most delicious farewell meal. All this and more, truly a real Finn, he was. Peace out

When I asked a finnish man how come that Hungarian and Finnisch is related he answered it goes back to the great Migration in the 4th century. There were two signposts in the middle of Europe. One said north the other south and the ones who could not read went north. Maybe his ancestors could not read but he inherited a great humor.

The story of Hungarians is a miracle. Managed to form and keep a country, after the Battle of Pressburg, where the united western army tried to exterminate all the Hungarians, after the devastating mongol attack, where died the half of the Hungarian population, and after the 150 years of Ottoman oppression, etc. And Hungary still has the highest population of all Uralic originated countries!

Hi from a Mari person! Love to Finno-Ugric cousins.

As a hungarian I am sometimes jelous of italians or germans. They have one origin, and a language from the same place. Everyone knows who they really are, including them. And here we are hungarians, a healed wound of a place. A nation with a long history forged from differences. We are stranger for our enemies, stranger for our friends, stranger for our kin and stranger for ourselves. We are the legacy of all the people who have fallen on this bloodstained land. We are not really a homogenous nation. We are all the wounds and offsprings of the land called Charpatian Basin.

As a 75% 🇫🇮 25% 🇸🇪 🇺🇸n from the U.P. of Michigan, home to the most 🇫🇮 people outside of the actual country, I find this fascinating. My great, Great grandmother Loviisa Kamppinen lived to be 105 and at the time of her passing in 1966, she was the oldest living Finnish person on earth.

Greetings from Finland! This was really interesting video, thank you. I was in Slovakia some years ago and when I spoke Finnish with my friend everyone thought we were Hungarians :) To me we don't sound alike but apparently we do to someone who doesn't understand either language.

Despite only making up 13 percent of the Finno-Ugric population, Finns make 50 percent of all memes.

Greetings to my Estonian, Hungarian and other Uralic bros!

Long live Uralic brotherhood 🇪🇪🇫🇮🇭🇺

As a Turk metalhead, god bless Finns that they still stay heavy and make beautiful music with their awesome bands. Amorphis, Sentenced(even they were dissolved) and many more.... God bless you guys keep on rockin!

Finns: "Ur an alien!" Hungarians: "No, ur an alien!" Russians: "Look, calm down guys, Ural aliens, okay?"

I like the Finns a lot. I worked with them. They share the same harsh humor with the Dutch, are equally blunt/direct as the Dutch and, as the Dutch, they do as they promise.

I spent a week in Budapest in 2002, it is a beautiful city with a beautiful people. I would gladly move to Hungary if I could.

You know what is really interesting? The Finnish language is pretty much a time capsule for old long gone languages before they separated into distinct separate languages, for example Finnish has many words that are almost exactly the same as the old proto-germanic words they were derived from. Some aren't even used anymore by the modern germanic languages or they've changed to be quite different from the root word. So ironically, Finnish can be used to study proto-germanic, sometimes even better than modern germanic languages. For example, the finnish word for king "kuningas" from proto-germanic "kuninggaz" or the word for "money" which is "raha" that is from a proto-germanic word that originally meant dried animal skin, specifically squirrel pelt/hide, since that was a common trading item.

One day Masa is going to run out of groups or tribes to talk about, and then he will focus on possible alien life.

Love to all Finno-Ugric people from Hungary!

I'm a Russian, but I'm very upset cause millions of Ugors like Chud, Muroma, Meshchera were assimilated by Rus speaking peoples. They lost their nationalities, languages, culture... It was a huge Finno-Ugric speaking community in the central part of Russia. They didn't create a union and they lost their identity. Very sad.
