Eastern Europe is mostly Slavic. Hungarian is related to Turkish, Estonian and Finnish - the Ugaritic/Altaic language family.
Romanian of course is descended from the Vulgar Latin brought by the Romans when they conquered Dacia in the Second Century.

It’s amazing how we can now look into the past using DNA. Used to be researchers only had the study of languages and artifacts to determine origins and migrations.

All humans are descended from the people who built the Tower of Babel in
Shenat Ha`Olam 1996. And until then Hebrew was the only language in existence.
Of course I'm only going to be ridiculed for saying this.
