Hungarian is Finno-Ugric language. The principal member of the Ugric subgroup is Hungarian. Whereas English speakers usually have a vocabulary of 250,000 words only 80,000 words are needed to speak Hungarian.

Hungarian is most closely related to two languages of western Siberia several thousand miles away--Xanty and Mansi. The ancient Magyars left Siberia several thousand years ago and migrated across the southern Russian steppes until they reached the modern area of Hungary in AD896.

Fascinating. Thank you.

Migrating from Siberia may have something to do with their affinity for the saber.
