News / Polish-Hungarian friendship - reality till today or just a phantasmagoria [144]
When I visitied Hungary, I didnt see any connections with Estonian or Finnish culture there. Hungarians culture is totally different from Finnish or Estonian. This is probably sounds stupid nationalism or something but I have to say Finns have retained the most of their "Uralicness" of all these not only genes (the "asiatic" N-haplotype is most common here, compared R1b of Hungary) but also in culture, for example national epic Kalevala (in the Estonian Kalevipoeg, the German writer threw in giant-tales of Norse mythology that dont belong there), there isnt such in Hungary. But the funny thing is that Kalevala was made of tales that were still told in Russian part of Karelia that was never part Finland nor Sweden.Russian rule was in that sense better than Swedish rule.
For me Hungary is a Central European country,where they just speak totally different language than their neighbors.
it sure is, but I think there has been rise in popularity of pan-turanism in Hungary since fall of communism. Pan-turanism vs. pan-slavism, a bit of overlap in territories ;)
btw Happy new year y'all !
Hungarians share certain ethno-linguistic traits with Estonians, Finns and various extant Siberian peoples, i.e. Khanti and Mansi.

The Turkish connection though is problematic
