@@servantofaeie1569 yes

@@anotherhumanbeing3923 Slavic? why?
I'm Finnish, and I feel sad that the other Finno-ugric languages are slowly disappearing. It hits the hardest when I see them written or hear them spoken because they are so similar to Finnish. It's like finding out you have a distant relative somewhere who's slowly dying and you can't do anything to save them. I wish they could be preserved.
I'm fascinated by your language and I wish the field of history will do better with such interesting age old cultures
Take back Karelia
@@jackholloway1 As glorious as that sounds, it would be pointless. The infrastructure there is in shit condition and fixing everything up to Finland's standards would cost billions. The actual Karelian speakers are a very small minority as more and more Russians have migrated there.
@@hazuusan I was being tongue in cheek mate, it is a shame that your sister languages are fading away though
@@jackholloway1 I suppose Estonian and Võro are safe for now, that also goes for some lects that are classified as dialects of Finnish proper, such as Savonian. Karelian has a small number of speakers within Finnish borders too I think.
So basically, in countries where the languages are national, they're safe. Russia couldn't care less about preserving minority languages though, and in fact quite on the contrary.
Finally a video that shows the seperation of Hungarian, always wondered how the hell its so far away and so different compared to Finnish, Karelian, Estonian and Saami languages. Thumbs up
Also, Hungarian is an early separation, that's why it is distant from every Uralic languages
Its far because Huns were far
@@anotherhumanbeing3923 hungarian has nothing to do with the hunns
Hungarians were the southest Uralics, they became influenced by steppe peoples and they adopted a horse nomadic culture. Hunnic invasion in the 5th century started a migration wave on the Eurasian steppe. Hungarians started their migration because of other nomadic peoples attacks who also fled from the Huns.
At first Hungarians just moved to the Caspian Sea-Aral Sea region, they became part of the Khazar Khaganate, but later they left it. A Pecheneg (Turkic nomads) attack led the Hungarians to Central Europe.
@@sectorgovernor A small correction regarding "A Pecheneg (Turkic nomads) attack led the Hungarians to Central Europe." It was not a simple attack that "led" them into Central Europe, but after a combined destructive campaign by Bulgaria and the Pechenegs together on Etelkoz, as part of a war where the Hungarians were allied with the Byzantine Empire, and their main force was still fighting down in Bulgaria, the rebuilding and defense of Etelkoz was not strategically wise anymore. Following the war in the course of several decades the Hungarians decided to move to a more defensible geographical area, and by destroying Great Moravia, they entered Central Europe to gain a more defensible position against the continuous pressure of the neighboring Turkic tribes. Funnily not too much later the Hungarians allied with the Pechenegs against the Bulgarians and won a victory at the Battle of W.l.n.d.r - it was a real Game of Thrones mess which led the Hungarians from Etelkoz into the Carpathian basin, not just "an attack".

Fun fact, in Hungary there is a historical story, when the separated Hungarians met again:
A priest, Friar Julian (Hungarian: “Julian's friend”) was one of a group of Hungarian Dominican friars / priests who, in 1235, left the kindom in order to find those Magyars who - according to the chronicles and the old Hungarian myths - remained in the eastern homeland. After traveling a great distance, Friar Julian reached the capital of Volga Bulgaria, where he was notified by a women that the Magyars whom he wants to find lived only two days' travel away. Julian found them, and despite the gap of at least 300-400 years since the split between the Magyars (Hungarian tribes) that settled in Pannonia (Central-Eastern EU) and those that were found near at the Ural hills. Their language remained mutually intelligent, and they were able to communicate.
Julian named the old country Magna Hungaria (Great Hungary). He became aware of stories about the Tatars, who were the enemies of the eastern Magyars and Volga Bulgars. Two years after the original journey, Julian returned to Magna Hungaria, only to find it had been devastated by the Mongol Tatars. He returned to his kingdom with news of mortal danger and a Mongol ultimatum to Hungary.
The significance of Julian’s travels is he was the first one to bring real, valid and well documented information about Hungarians / Hungarian speakers living in “Magna Hungary".
In any book I can find his story/journy?
@@asadforat3734 I think historically in: Archives of the Dominican Order History Collection but I only found hungarian languaged website regarding this, and the wiki page and references:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friar_Julian
Which Finno-Ugric tribe did he describe? Was it Khanty people? Did they look different back in 1200?
@@exposingreality6391 It wasn't any description or tribe name in the Dominican documents. He definetly found the Volga-Bulgars and most likely he found people from the remained hungarians (magyars) as they were able to communicate. Because not all the hungarians went to Central Europe, some of them remained there according to the chronics.
I think Mari ppl were the closest to the Volga-Bulgars, but after Mansi ppl were the closest language relatives so maybe he found them.
Wow, that’s amazing! Thanks for that story.

@@sectorgovernor Magyar is Ugric, Mary is Volga-Finnic. Rather distant kinship.
@@vadimpm1290 I know we aren't in the same branch, but Mari still sounds closer to Hungarian than Finnish to Hungarian. I think because Mari also has Turkic influence.
@@vadimpm1290 Of course Mansi and Khanty language are the closest to Hungarian, but they don't understand Hungarian, and Hungarians don't understand their languages either.
Hungarian has too few common words with other Uralic languages. I can't notice common words by hearing, only when I see subtitle or text(with meaning).
@@sectorgovernor I 'm not a linguist, but I know that fact. A tremendous gap both in time and in the cultural evolution. As for similarity of sounding between Magyar and Mary maybe You are right about Turcic influence. But can it be due not to loan words, but to close contacts? For me Baltic Finns sound more like "Swedish", and our Permic Finns (Komi, Udmurt) quite different, though common words between these two groups are far more abundant , than that between Hungarian and Mansi, or between Hungarian and Volga Finns.

I am sorry that in Russia all the small nationalities speak only Russian, and I hate it, some Politicians in the old days forbade speaking our native language, took the people by force and Christianized them, killed my khanty people. Yes, in Russia they didn’t tell khanty about this at school, but older people remember it. And the new generation does not stady our native language, but Chinese, English and other languages of globalization.

I try to promote my native language, and I hope there are those who will develop their culture! I'm proud that our roots are the same! I'm stand for our finno-ugric family!
Уральские нации не имеют никаких перспектив уж поверь, это естественный процесс, многие народы исчезают как и языки, никто через 300 лет и знать не будут что на урале жили иные народы.

In Persian, 100 is "sad" and it comes from Uralic. Also "who" in Persian, Indo-European, and many Romance languages is "ki" and probably comes from Uralic. Also eye in Persian is "Češm" which comes from Proto-Indo-European, and likely comes from Uralic

I have just one remark. As far as I know when Hungarians started their migration, the nation split up in two parts, and one part stayed in their original homeland, so not all Hungarians moved away. The group which stayed called "Eastern Hungarians", and they lived there until the middle of the XIII. century. Although I'm not a professional, just an enthusiast, so if you are a professional, please correct me if I'm wrong.

@@prometheus5770 The national languages of Udmurtia are Russian and Udmurt. High government does not take special measures to preserve this language - but this does not mean that they stopped studying it in schools. The number of Udmurts is 400,000, and 310,000 speak the language - not so critical result. The reduction in the number of speakers of the Udmurt language occurs mainly because in large cities Russians make up ~ 80% of the population, and in such conditions it is difficult to maintain the stability of the language. Add here more demographic problems due to huge crises and you will get the expected result of the extinction of the language. The government is guilty only because it does not resist crises, not because it supports the assimilation of the population.
In which language we are talking now? And where are the native-american's languages? Or african's? So where situation is worse?
So it can be said about any large nation - like, they supplanted other nations and cultures by themselves. The Chinese, Spaniards, Arabs, Russians, Poles, Turks, the British themselves. Everyone has a different heritage of culture and history. We just need to accept this and decide on our own tasks, relying on the past only for the sake of experience. But just don't use history as a tool of political manipulation.
Good job, Costas!
It was definitely complicated video to make. As an Estonian I think many actual details remain in mystery because lack of written hard evidence. Ancient histories of Greek, Romanic and Germanic languages are therefore understood much better. Uralic history is much based on theories of linguists. Nitpicking on ancient details is pointless.
Thank you. You 're right. The distant past in this case is reconstructed from linguistic theories comparing common elements between the languages.
It's just crazy how we, hungarians moved thousands of km-s to the west, surviving 1200 years, nations, wars, tatars, turks, Ottoman Empire, german, russian... preserving our dearest language, culture!

I hope that as many Uralic languages as possible will be saved somehow, and thoroughly documented as well.
Uralic languages carry the essence of our Uralic cultures and our sense of related identities. With every language lost, we loose bits of ourselves, since words and how we use them are voices of our ancestors.
I'm a Finn (of mixed Savo and Tornio River ethnicities), and I've been mourning the violence of russification.

As a linguist from Finland, I can say it would be glorious to compare the Uralic languages (at least the Finnic ones) but due to the low number of speakers/lack of written text it's very hard to review the similarities. I had to opt the Romance languages as my target group (I've also been comparing Germanic and Slavic tongues), the sad thing is that I can't understand any Indo-European language based on my native one, Finnish. It does suck.
You can go and collect the material, you'd even make history.

Apparently I read that the hungarians started migrating to Europe as early as 800 bc. It was not sudden. It was gradual and slow
This was not random. The Hungarians followed Attila the Hun, because the knew that the pastures of the Carpathian Basin were rich, and there was no need to migrate even with tens of thousands of horses and cattle. The eastern steppes are poor. The Hungarians knew where they were going.

Could you do one, with all the languagues at the same time? It may help to put in context lots of movements
Thank you. I'll try it in the future

What a beautiful family of languages and culture! It's sad that the majority were slavicized... ;-;

Some were first Turkized, and later Slavized. This is if you do not take into account the Indo-Iranian tribes that dominated the Great Steppe before the Turkic tribes.
Rurik the founder of Russia was actually very likely of Uralic / Finno-Ugric origin, according to the Russian Nobility Project conducted at FTDNA. His paternal haplogroup is N1c which is very typical for Uralic / Finno-Ugric peoples. Many North Russians are also Slavicised Uralic / Finno-Ugric peoples themselves.
@@YummYakitori if you are talking about the first king then I remember how I read something about how the Russian nobility invited someone from the Baltic or scandinavia

Great video.
Is the uralic-IE theory still a thing? The origin place of both groups is so close.
Waiting to see the evolution of the whole IE group, like this one, will be very great too.
Indo-European and Uralic languages are totally different and have different origin.
I think that it could actually be a thing, some words are quite similar, like the words for fish, name, finger, and ten, but it requires more study of older languages like the Samoyedic languages which sadly are fading. If there are any words in early Uralic languages that sound similar to early Indo-European languages, they could indeed be related, which is what I believe from the evidence I’ve found thus far.
@@captainch6182 That's not how anything works. Languages just loan words from each other...
@@eksiarvamus Not all the time. Some words derive from older words spoken from broader groups of people. Take the word finger for instance. Finger is purely an English word, it isn't borrowed from any language, but it is descended from a word that was spoken by the early Germanic tribes: *fingraz, it's said to be. Go all the way back to the first Indo-Europeans and you get the word *penkwe which roughly means finger or fingers and also became the word for five.
Look at the Uralic languages now...the Finnish word for finger is sormi, but the thumb is specifically peukalo. Sounds similar to *penkwe. The Sami word is bealgi. close to peukalo. I could go on. Mari:парня (parnâ), Eryza: пелька (pelʹka), Udmurt:
пӧлы (pöly), Komi: пев
, and there is probably more in the Ugric and Samoyedic languages which are unknown to me. You can even draw connections with Turkish parmak, Malayam വിരല് (viral), and even Inuit inuak. The Indo-European and Uralic words sound too similar to be a coincidence. They couldn't have all loaned the same word, could they? I think this suggests that either the word was borrowed from Proto-Indo-European very early on, or that they come from the same word and the first Indo-European and Uralic peoples spoke pretty much the same. Either option is quite plausible, given how close they were.
This is just one word I found, but there are actually quite a lot if you look hard enough and if you try to experiment with how they might've sounded like in a hypothetical Indo-Uralic language.
I could be completely wrong though. I admit that my claims are practically baseless without any written evidence of what Proto-Uralic was actually like. We may never know, but that does not mean there aren't similarities between the families. even if they are superficial. They clearly developed alongside each other.

But most of the languages that are replacing these dying languagaes are languages that were from Monarch families.

Here is the thing though, they are being preserved about as well as Russia can manage. Most of them are taught in schools in their respective regions, they have TV channels in those languages. The big ones aren't really going away, but the small ones are kinda beyond saving, because there is no real incentive for kids to speak them.

So you're Hungarian? First off, hello from Finland! Second, I've heard and seen myself that there is quite the loud group of Hungarians who oppose the Uralic family and specifically Hungarian being a part of it, I think it is called Hungarian Turanism. Some are even saying the Uralic language family is Austrian propaganda to somehow "bring down the glorious Hungarian people" or something along the lines of that. So I have to ask why it exists and what does just a regular, average Hungarian think of this "movement"?
@@jokemon9547 well, I am Hungarian, but I don't live in Hungary or any other lands settled by a majority or atleast large community of Hungarians, not anymore that is.
Ofcourse I have family in Hungary, and also friends from Hungary, and I never really heard anyone say that the Uralic language family is propaganda.
We Hungarians do see ourselves as very unique and different from the rest, wich, I mean it's true, but atleast I never heard anyone say that. I have to be honest, I never even really heard any ultra-extremist Hungarians say that.
Ofcourse I'm not implying that all Hungarians, even the extremists are saints or some shit, but atleast I have never heard any Hungarian say it's "Austrian propaganda".
I'm sure that there are a lot of Hungarians who disregard the Uralic language family, because Hungarian is also very unique, but again, no one I've heard of was violent or anything about it.
Don't quote me on this.
@@Shunshnura I've just been wondering that topic specifically, since I had a long discussion on the matter with a Hungarian nationalist in the comment section of a Uralic language video. The guy said that the Uralic language family was Austrian propaganda from the 1800s to bring down Hungarians and "their glory" because most if not all Uralic speakers were under the control of the Russian Empire and never had their own nations or "Grand historical accomplishments" compared to Hungarians. Then he went on to say that Hungarians are more glorious than all of these people combined and encompass them all. He also believed in the Uralic Altaic language family and said that the only reason Uralic is a part of that group is because Hungarian is very, very just distantly related to Uralic and that Hungarian is more on the Turkic.
I dont really get why Hungarian cant be a part of the Uralic and stay unique, if some Hungarians oppose the language family because of that. Hungarian is unique as hell due to it's long separation from other Uralic languages. Look at Greek or Albanian for example, both are indo-european, but entirely on their own in the family and unique as hell because of that.
Lovely video :)

I don't fucking understand why turks claim that Hungarians are turkic people, there is no normal reason for it
According to the early Hungarian history writers the Hungarian Tribal Federation consisted of 7 tribes. Judging by the names 2 of them perhaps were of turkic origin, the Kabars and the Tarjans. Som people mean that the Turks want to show kinship with a European people in order to get closer to Europe.
They are separate language families but they lived along side each other and shared a very similar culture for centuries
They say that because hungarian is not similar to finnish and estonian (two FINNIC languages). People seem to forget that hungarian belongs to the ugric branch and separated much earlier than other languages.
Because there is some linguistic overlap between Altaic(Turkic-Mongol), Uralic/Siberian, Japanese, Korean, and Tungusic Chinese languages. It was once theorized they all had a common origin which was a false imposition, but, they all had significant overlap for there to be commonality which is what lead to the Altaic-Uralic hypothesis.
Kinda sad watching these languages fade out after being around for so long
This map is pretty inaccurate.
To mention just some of the biggest problems:
1. By about 2500 BCE the proto-Finnic and proto-Ugric branchs have already separated from one another.
2. Hungarian lost contact with related languages around 500-600 CE and was already on the Eastern-European steppes, not next to the Mansi and Khanty
3. Finnish was only present in the Southern and Western parts of Finland, until about the 1300's the entire peninsula was dominated by Saami
4. The map shows the Hungarian conquest taking place over 200 years after it actually did.
5. Hungarian presence in the Carpathian Basin was much more prominent than shown both before 1241 and 1541, two periods that did a number on the country.
6. Estonian seems to have too big of a range in 2020
I think Proto-Saamic formed in Finland, and not in northern Scandinavia. This is supported by the evidence of words which are clearly non-Uralic and is theorized to demonstrate a substratum found only in Saami languages. This indicates that Proto-Saamic was formed not in that region but outside and later influenced by the so-called Proto-Laplandic languages.
All of the finnic languages developed in Finland or a bit east of Finland.

Some adjustments.
The language on the territory of Estonia was divided into northern and southern since a very long time, it is a very old division, these are two different languages in fact.
Izhorian language and eastern Finnish dialects (North and South Karelia, Savo, the Karelian Isthmus in Russia) are part of the Karelian dialect continuum, and not Western Finnish
Karelian (Izhorians) came to the south of the Gulf of Finland to the region of the Votic language relatively late - apparently in the high Middle Ages.
The Vodic language did not have such a large range in the Middle Ages; it did not occupy the Pskov and Novgorod regions, which were completely Slavicized from the 8th century, and only the western regions of the Leningrad Region were much smaller than on the map.
The Sami lived much south for a considerable time, even in the early Middle Ages, apparently, inhabited most of Republic of Karelia and neighboring territories
Karelians, on the contrary, practically didn’t populate the territory east of Lake Onega and on the shores of the White Sea from the 14-15th century, when the Slavs settled there, before the Slavs, apparently, some group related to the Veps lived there for a short time, and before the Veps, apparently - the Sami.
Finno-Ugric population in most of the Arkhangelsk and Vologda Oblast as the absolute majority of the population in the 15th centuries is doubtful
The center of the Kirov region and the middle course of the Vyatka river were occupied by Slavs for a very long time, even the main hydronymy of the region speaks of it (the name of the region’s main river is Vyatka, purely Slavic, therefore the mass Finno-Ugric presence is absolutely throughout the region, and not only on its southern borders up to the 19th century is simply unrealistic)
Also unrealistic is the presence of moksha on the left bank of the Oka River until the 18th century, when this territory was completely Slavicized from the 10-12th centuries, when the Muroma tribe lived there.
The territories of Nizhny Novgorod and the central regions of the oblast lost the Finnish-speaking population in the 12-14th centuries, when it was the center of a powerful East Slavic principality, and not in the 17-18th.
In the south and south-west of the Nizhny Novgorod region, not Moksha lives, but Erzya, Moksha and Erzya don't divide Mordovia clearly in half, that Moksha on the left and Erzya on the right. It's somewhat more complicated, Erzya lives not only east of Moksha, but also envelops it from the north, remaining in small numbers in the southern regions, the remainder of this Erzya still lives in the west of Mordovia, called Shoksha
The ancestors of the Mordovians and Mari were corroded back in the early Middle Ages, Turkic Bulgars lived between them, and now the Chuvash live, whose language is a direct descendant of the Bulgarian.
Udmurts did not live throughout the entire territory of Udmurtia initially, mainly only in the south and south-west, they gradually settled north and east from the northern regions of Tatarstan (north and east of Arsk) and the southern regions of the Kirov region (Malmyzh), they settled in large numbers in the north of Udmurtia only in the 16-17th century, before them there lived until the 15th century representatives of the Chepetsk culture, apparently related to the Komi-Permyaks. As for the Udmurts, it was still a bit more complicated, but it took a long time to paint it.

After departure of Hungarians, from ca. 900 AD to present, the map shows no Uralic population on the left bank of Kama, in Middle Urals & southern Northern Urals. This is a mistake. From IX century this area was inhabited mainly by Mansi, also (in Sylva basin) by Khanty, and, in the North-West, by Komi. Further south, Ugric tribes (remnants of Hungarians and Khanty) were involved in the genesis of Bashkir people, adopting Turkic language.

@@xdgamer2765 yes, for sure. But in the Baskirs we have a well known fact of emergence of the new ethnos as a result of turko-ugric synthesis.

I've always thought that Hungarians are basically turkified Ugric peoples
@@lexxypexxy2831hungarians are not ugric, only partly. Its an oversimplification of our history.

Ugric peoples played a significant role in the formation of the hungarian ethnic group tho.
Can you do the history of the Afroasiatic languages?
Nobody knows for sure, it is all theories, unlike other language-families
This one would require some very thorough background research to avoid inaccuracies and would probably still have big inaccuracies that would make the video very outdated in 2030.
An outdated theory that they originated in what is now Israel, Lebanon, and Palestine, still lingers on due to a now refuted but still widely discussed (mostly by non-linguists) belief that the early spread of Afroasiatic Languages was driven by the advent of Agriculture in that region around 10,000-8,000 BC. (How we now know that this wasn't actually the case would require many more paragraphs so I left it out--feel free to ask me if anyone is curious)
That belief had influenced almost all scholarship, especially articles written before 2000, to interpret all new linguistic evidence with what we now know was in fact an inaccurate assumption. There has yet to be a really good comprehensive re-interpretation of the old linguistic evidence with our newer understanding of how the languages spread so constructing an accurate narrative would require way more research than these kind of videos usually would need.
Worse yet, its unclear in what order each linguistic subfamily diverged from the others. We know that Chadic, Berberic, Semitic, Egyptian, and Cushitic, are all real subfamilies and we have pretty good ideas of the when and where the proto languages of each branch was spoken, but we don't know how the original proto-Afroasiatic evolved into those five proto-Subfamily languages.
It's also highly unclear whether the Omotic languages are an early splitting branch of Afroasiatic or a smaller unrelated family with heavy Afroasiatic influence due to millenia of being located right next to Afroasiatic speakers.
@@p00bix That was a very interesting argument! I do have a second suggestion if doing a research about the Afroasiatic languages is quite difficult. Perhaps a video about the Semitic languanges would be nice. I really like the Semitic languages.
