Any similarities between the HUngarians and Turks result from the Turkish Ottoman Empire's occupying Hungary in the 16th century. The Hungarians came from the Ural Mountains, whereas the Turks migrated from Central Asia into Asia Minor (Anatolia), eventually in 1453 conquering Constantinople/Istanbul and then expanding into southeastern Europe and up to Hungary. Their languages are entirely different, Hungarian being a Finno-Ugric language, related to Finnish - and not much else -, whereas Turkish is an altaic language, still closely related to that of the Turkmen in Turkmenistan and Usbekistan. But the Hungarians are a little pleased that only in Turkish they are referred to by their own name for themselves: Magyar. Websites on Hungarian/Turkish people/language will add a lot more. |

Two articles referring to the possible linguistic relation between Uralic and Altaic languages: http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/society/A0850158.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ural-Altaic_languages |

If you want an even more bizarre link look at the lingustic similarities between Turkish, Finnish and Basque- there is a real brain twister |

both of the nations used to live in the mid asia before they immigrated to europe. the turks who came to anatolia through iran and arabia became muslims nad the hungaerians who went through the cafcasus(or however its spelled) became christians. both nations have similar roots. |
