Finally some more hard wrought presentations on less popular histories in our current Anglo-Linguistic tradition. Coming out of the camp of archaeology I have to admit without projects such as these on TH-cam, I feel as if it's only myself, my comrades and those who grow up with their heritage in these less popular parts of world history. Thank you for the contribution!!
The language family some of you are referring to, the one that includes all* European languages is Indo-European. *: except for the Finno-Ugric languages: Magyar, Suomi, Estonian, etc. And Basque, an isolate, only distantly related to Berber. Oh, and Georgian, which belongs to the Caucasian family of languages.
gman aight he's actually accurate I can attest to that going through school and university myself. Way too many leftist teachers/professors who dismiss the great cultures of western civilization.. You must either be blind and deaf or one of those people (:
That is surely right I wasn't any good in history in school but now when I'm learning more about my own family's history it's becoming more interesting. Which is when I'm finding so many records online and also by taking my own DNA test I've found that I do have a small portions of Eastern European DNA through my French royal family connection with the House of Capet. Since I had found out that my 9th great grandmother Catherine de Baillon was born and raised in a minor French nobility family that has connections with major nobility families through out the rest of Europe and not just in France where 100% of the majority of my European DNA actually comes from. My peasantry European DNA I know for sure is 100% French I know that for sure. So those percentages of the rest of my European DNA must be my royal blood from most notable European nobility through the rest of Europe. Since the only other possible European DNA that I have from the peasantry European DNA that should come from outside of France would most likely be my legendary Viking Scandinavian blood. Since I don't have very many ancestors that were born outside of France other than the French Colony of New France in the New World within the paper trail of my family tree. Also there is only 1% of my DNA that showed that was Native American ancestry. I'm guessing I'm starting to get more interested in the things I have learned from about the history of European history is because I'm actually learning so much about my own European family's history from my own family's roots from my DNA.
@@gigikontra7023 It's as if Hungarian developed and borrowed that among Turkic people during their migration from Magna Hungaria to Carpathia while Finnish developed "keltainen" with other Baltic Finnic languages separately. Your point?
@@jokemon9547 but it seems like the whole language was borrowed?? Look how close Hungarian and Kazakh languages are: (1) contract/agreement - szerződés - Шарт ;. (2) tent - sátor - шатыр ; (3) apple - alma - алма; (4) mother - anya - ана; (5) father - apa - әке; (6) lake - tó - көл; (7) blue - kék - көк; (8) fruit - gyümölcs - жеміс; (9) border - határ - шекара; (10) maiden - szűz - қыз; (11) calf - borjú - бұзау; (12) baby - szivi - сәби; (13) hen - tyúk - тауық; (14) to drink - iszik - ішу; (15) dead - holt - өлі; (16) wind - szél - жел; (17) cradle - bölcső - бесік
@@gigikontra7023 What does "non-European" even mean? Genetically, Hungarians of today cluster together with their neighboring groups. Linguistically, it isn't like most other European languages (Indo-European), but with that logic are Indo-European languages "European", since they developed in the fringes of eastern Europe at the best and expanded from there both west and east. And as for those words, that's not the entire language and those are proven borrowings into Hungarian from Turkic, mostly Old Turkic and possibly Oghur Turkic. Studies on Hungarian vocabulary have shown only 9% of Hungarian words are Turkic while things like German is 11%, Slavic is 20% and Uralic is 21% (Uralic includes the most simple and primal everyday words). Turkic is only larger than Latin/Greek and Romance when it comes to borrowed words.
As a Romanian, I do, too. But I don’t, when some Hungarians start making stories... like the one pretending that, as first comers in the land of Transylvania (~4000BC) the right to occupy this land is theirs.
BasszusX - If I’ll have to “chill out”, then you may need to “freeze” - I’m so sorry for you (as I am for many Romanians, especially those who peck out of Soros’s hand) who literally “kick out” historians like Jordanes, Strabo, Carlo Troya, Nicolo Zeno, etc, because their works contradict Hungary's efforts to grab back some Romanian land - who cares today about those grave distortions to history ... (in as much as I am concerned, I consider this “dialogue” ended - it’s not in my intention to convince anyone, what a loss of time....)
What kind of hungarian or Siksika has the last name Holley? thats an english surname... Thats like saying im half French and half Japanese with the last name Jakesch.... which is slavic
speaking of central europe you just cant talk about Hungary without Poland and vice versa ... totally different languages, different people, different ethicities, yet amaizing relation few days ago we had anniversary of Pal Teleki refusing to help nazis in any shape or form in invasion on Poland, he said it is a matter of honour for Hungarians
We shared monarchs many times as well. We also had a famous general names Joszef Bem, who was Polish, and lead Hungarians soldiers in a fight against the Habsburg monarchy.
And then, Hungary joined the Axis and he shot himself. Fuck off with "muh nadzees", really. The relationship between these two countries is far more ancient and far deeper than that. Even when we were enemies, we managed to maintain an air of mutual respect.
Buster Biloxi True. But Hungary refused to attack Poland, they also denied the Nazi’s the means to attack Poland from the south, and did not allow the Nazi’s to use the railroads as a means to supply German troops in Poland. Once Poland was annexed, Hungary let in a ton of Poles fleeing Nazi occupation and persecution. The Hungarian politicians refused to backstab Poland.
Thanks for the informative and concise video. I am an American living in Hungary, and they have a very complex history. This video was illuminating and entertaining. Köszi!
As I Serb from Bosnia I am admiring this amazing history and culture! It’s amazing that. Croatians are not Hungarians today , since they were always in Hungary 😉 only this past hundred years they are not, Best regards to this wonderful nations!
Many hungarian national hero was also croatian as well, for example the both Miklós Zrínyi or Nikola Zrinska in croatian if I'm correct, as a person who lives in Zala-county he is really important for me. The two kingdoms were independent from each other, only the king was common (personal union), similar to the Polish-Latvian kingdom.
What do you even mean by your statement, my brother, Magyars, and Croats are entirely separate people groups. You claim to be Serb, although it most probably kills you to admit the truth, the Serbo-Croat people came down from what is known as the Middle Dinepro basin ( modern day south central Ukraine) hence linguistically your language is almost identical to your Croatian brother's and sisters. The Magyars were pushed down from southern Siberia, north of the Caspian sea and south west of Lake bikal. That is why their language, like Finnish, is not Indo European. The only commonality is religion and historical friendship, as unlike Stefan Lazarovich, the Croats didn't sell themselves out to the Ottomans. Selling his own sister off to the Sultans harem, thus stabbing the great John Hunyadi in the back. What did you get in return? Almost being wiped out by The Timurids, who burned 4.000 innocent Armenian civilians alive and massacred thousands of Assyrian and Georgian Christians. I'm Irish, so I bare no ill will toward the Serbian people, but I can not believe that you would defend the Turks after what happened in kosovo, Belgrade, and Varna. Finally, I respect that it wasn't just the Serbs but the Bulgars also that turned their backs on Constantinople when they needed you. If only you showed the loyalty of Skanderbeg and Vlad the impaler to their people. Best of luck against England in the European championships
@@glassman1130 Why are you Hungarians so keen to ally yourselves with GREAT NOBLE SUMERIANS and MIGHTY AVARS and WORTHY UIGHURS and TURANIAN NOMADIC HEROES OF THE STEPPES? You are a small country in Central Europe. Hungary, Slovakia, Serbia, Romania, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia. All rather small countries. Get used to it. It's been over 100 years now.
@@busterbiloxi3833what an idiotic comment! Get in your time machine and go back several hundred years. Where did Americans come from? America? Your comment’s tone is as ignorant as your timeline knowledge of history.
Central Eurasia played a fundamental role in premodern world history in several ways. It was a major avenue for transmission of peoples and goods between China in the east, and the Near East and European the West ideas also flowed along Central Eurasian trade routes: Buddhism was transmitted from India to China, while Islam spread eastward along the Great Silk Road. Technologies, such as paper, gun powder, and printing, were transmitted from China to the West via Central Eurasian intermediaries. Thus, Central Eurasia played a paradoxical role, both as an avenue of peaceful interaction and exchange, and as a breeding ground for armies of nomadic horse archers which posed a constant threat to the kingdoms and peoples of China, India, the Near East, and Europe.
Bloody good video as always. A totally unfamiliar area of history for me. Always love learning something new. It’s nice to get away from the Western European side of history and jump to something totally different to anything I’ve studied before.
Now when you watched this video, watch video about Great Moravia. You will lern, that the land before Hungarien tribes came was Great Moravia, important Slavic state this time, with the Slavic first European language used in churches except Latin. ,This land was not empty. Hungarien tribes occupied and defeted local habitan, who were farmers and settled in this areal long time before. Hungarian like to change historie
@@secovidi Where did you find this info ? example : lake Balaton was before lake Blatno - very Slavic name. Around Hungary are Serbia, Slovenia, Slovakia - Slavic countries. Avars came to this area after Slavics.
@@dan-iy5rs Partly true: It really comes from the word "blato", "boloto" (swamp, mud), which in turn can be traced back to the Greek "βαλτό". It may have come from the Slovenes who lived among the Avars, and remained among the Hungarians who melted the Slovenes there. There are really Slavs around Hungary. And there are Austrians, Ukrainians, Romanians. Before the Avars, the owner of the area was constantly changing: Illyrian tribes, Pannonians, Azals, Celts, Dacians. Then the Romans, then the Sarmatians and Huns. The Avars expelled the Longobards from the Carpathian Basin in 568. And yes, Slavs, in VI. century, under Avar rule, they were already in the upper Drava Valley ...
İts cool to see that Arpad, Almos and Turul have also the same meaning in Turkic. Hungarian and Turkic people shared the same religion (Tengrism) and the same way of life in the past
lucky for me I have been researching hungarian history for years. I have been waiting for a documentary like this to come out and give due credit to hungarians.
feeling sorry for that sheep that keeps falling at the bottom left of the screen :D....but overall a nice piece of history over just one part of the steppe horse warrior story :D
I’m Hungarian koreann myself but raised in the USA. This is great to reconnect with my history because Hungarian culture is not widely celebrated here.
A Hungarian dad joke or bad pun about him is that due to him being the 'Father of all Hungarians' (A magyarok apja,in named form Àrpàd apànk) he is Àrpàd,a punk. (Sources on him wearing faux leather jacket,having spiked hair and listening to Sex Pistols and Dead Kennedys vary but considered untrue by contemporary historians.)
I have to say this story has been put together with very enjoyable illustrations. Very well and beautifully spoken👌. I’m Hungarian living abroad and I wanted to put myself into the test how much I know of my origin. I have to say I have learned a lot from this video and enjoyed it a lot!!!! Appreciated Thanks Very Much 👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️
I agree the video is very well made and very enjoyable to watch it. However do not learn Hungarian history from it. It has false information at many point and our history was completely different. Not his fault. Even I myself being a Hungarian was taught all the rubbish.
Margret, one of daughters of that exiled Anglo-Saxon king would later would be married to Malcolm III of Scotland and she would be declared a saint some years after she died
The most informative segment on the history of a people, place, or thing that I have ever seen. Thank you for taking the time to dig deeper and actually explain the causes behind why “the Hungarians” migrated, as all peoples have done, and allowed the viewer to experience the world in a fresh manner.
You have an amazing and ancient culture you can be proud of. The Greek contributed a lot to modern culture. Greetings and I wish you good health and happiness from Hungary!
Great Vid. Altho you could have mentoined the battle of Pozsony which is probably the most important event in that earliest part of hungarian history. When the Eastern Franks tried to invade the newly settled hungarians with a ridiculously huge army in 907 and they met an utter defeat, thanks to the fact that hungarians at the time preffered partisan like warfare and they mastered the art of horse archery and the use of reflex bows. With these highly mobile tactics they were able to cut of the Frankish army from its supplies, so most of the army technicly were almost starved to death and thus forced to retreat, meanwhile hungarians constantly welcomed them with a rain of arrows, so they couldn't even actually managed to engage our troops in close combat before they perished. It was the first battle in our history which was fought for self defence, and probably the most important one, since without that victory the Kingdom of Hungary would never came to be existence in the first place.
@@HunPride I know for a fact that the Battle of Posonium 907 A.D. is still taught in Westpoint Academy. It is such a unique battle in military history it is still a subject for American military officers.
@@THX-bz8bi the name of the city wasn't bratislava until Czechoslovakia stole it from us, until then it's name was Pozsony (and Pressburg in german), so it would be bullshit to call it "the battle of bratislava" because bratislava wasn't a thing at that time
'The time of Adventures', stories of giant sword-wielding birds, buried warriors adorned with riches - damn but early Hungarian history reads like an epic fantasy novel. I should really do more reading into central-east European history.
So much German influence. I recall one book saying that they were one of the three main threats for the holy romans apart from Vikings and Arabs. Interesting they didn’t consider Poland 🇵🇱 as big a threat despite its size.
Hallo from Denmark . Amazing video about the magyars and the history of Hungary. Simply another Master piece from history time .... Now you mention Henry the Fowler . And we know him here in Denmark to . He is the indirect reason . That a United danish viking kingdom came into exsistence . In 933/34 King Henry the Fowler came in war with Denmark . The danes was defeated . And that left the border Wall/fortifications known as the danevirke stood right open . And Henry coud march straight into Jutland with his Army . There he forced Gnupa the King of Jutland to biptized as aChristian . And after thar Henry went home . Shortly after that Gnupa died... And his son Sigtryg took the throne ... But the defeat had left Sigtyg’s dynasty the house of Olaf(named after the semi legendary King Olaf the brash. That is Said to have ruled around the year 900) were unpopular. . And his enemies took avantage of that . In to the scene steps Harthacnut/Cnut the first . According to saga the tales of Regnars sons . Hardacnut was the son of Sigurd snake in eye . And thus Hardacnut was a the Grandson of Regnar Lothbrook(Regnar Lothbrook belongs to the danish sagas. And Regnar was a dane )....But Hardacnut started a rebellion and deposed Sigtyg... And Hardacnut became King of Jutland . And with him the knytlinga dynasty ("House of Cnut's Descendants )/Jelling dynasty took power ... Around 936 Hardacnut died. And his son Gorm(also known as Gorm The old) became King . Gorm ruled Denmark untill his death in 958. And thats when his son Harold Bluetoth became King . And Harold unified Denmark into a single by forcing the rulers on the Island Zealand and Funen to submit to him . And Harold was also the first Christian King of Denmark ..... So Henry the Fowler has a hand in creating a unified danish kingdom . By defeating King Gnupa and thus making the house of Olaf unpopular ... He indirectly paved the Way for another powerfull dynasty to depose the house of Olaf and take power . And they eventuly created Denmark as single King . Now the current danish Queen Margarete the second. She Can actully Trade her family back Gorm the old and Knytlinga dynasty . So one single family has been monarchs of Denmark since 936 . Though its different branches of the family that family that has been sitting on throne through the centuries ....
Well the Regnar of sagas is legendary . But Frankish sources mention him (or Regnarius as the latin text calls ) him as leader of group danish vikings that laid siege by Paris in 845. But were bought Off with gold...
madsdahlc I feel like you have to much nationalism when you read about these Vikings. Have you read the saga about Ormtunga, it's about a Icelandic man who is sent by his father to explore the world. He goes to England, Norway, Denmark and Sweden. All these people spoke the same tongue, had the same religion and the same culture. Denmark as a country you can argue started in 1848 after the revolution against absolutism. Denmark definitely did not exist in the 850's. The raid of Paris was of Vikings, who knows if all of those Vikings where born in lands held a Danish Chief. People who are born in Malmö are Swedish unless you where born in Malmø before 1658 then you where Danish. How can you know that all the Vikings under the leadership of Ragnar was from Denmark and why does it matter?
your bruv Joey I dont have any nationalism here ...so o dont pull the nationalism card on me . I have been history geek my whole life. So you are playing the Big boys noe . I keep to Well known facts . Yes Denmark did most curtainly exsist in 850’es . Not as unified country . But as s series of kingdoms (its even mentioned in Frankish /german /English sources . Basicly mark is an old Scandinavian word for land . So Denmark basicly means land of the danes) . Now already around 800 a strong central power exsisted in Jutland . As the border Wall the danevirke was before that time . And that demands strong central power... Also a Channel was dug at the Island of Samsø . Another evidence of a strong central power . But also after Regnarius raid on Paris in 845. The Frankish sources says danes . No Way around(its possible that were norwegians and swedes among the vikings raiders). But evidence suggest that the raid on Paris happened on the danish King Horiks orders (Horik was King in Jutland). As he was involved with diplomatic aftermath after raid... The Frankish kingdom had just split into two kingdoms West Frankish (modern day France and East Frankia (modern day Germany ) . And modern historians belive that Horik might taken avantage on that split to cause trouble (As a viking fleet also attacked Hamburg) .... The West franks sent diplomats to Horiks court . Where they damanded the raiders be punished . Biut its not known if that happened . West Frankish sources does however mention that Regnar/Regnarius died shortly after raid on Paris ... Modern historian are guessing its dysentery ... Also Frissland in East frankia was attacked by danish vikings ... The trouble from Horik only stopped , when Horik was beset by internal trouble. He had lost control over his cheiftains . And he was forced to share his kingdom with an unkown Nephew .... Again I refering to Frankish sources here . Around 854 Horik was in civil war against his own brother Guttorm . And that ended in battle where Horik and Guttorm both were killed . His succesor Horik the second did have the strong power of his Predecessor. So the kingdom started breakup/go into decline . He was basicly a weak King ... And many cheiftains started act Independently from the King . Horik disapears around 864 from written sources. And at the same the grat heathen Army appears in north of England. And Jutland entered weak period . Where not much is known . The incident with the german King Henry the Fowler and force baptism of King Gnupa is known . Its mentioned in german sources . Jurland was only unified under strong ruler again when the knlytlinga dynasty deposed the house of Olaf and took power in Jutland around 936. ....
your bruv Joey but yes they spoke the tongue . In viking age Denmark and norway people spoke s language called East Nordic . While in sweden they spoke a language called East Nordic . But after viking rulers began to convert to Christianity (starting with the danish King Harold Bluetoth in 965). Scandinavia was influenced a lot german and latin ... A lot of latin abd german words found their Way into languages spoken in Scandinavia . And that influence caused East and West Nordic to evolve into modern day swedish/danish and norwegean ... So the modern Scandinavian languages are basicly latinized versions of old viking age Scandinavian languages ....
@@Player-st4hn Well, correctly Stephen 1st was The King in Regnum Pannonia, he was not king of Regnum Hungaria. Officially the country took name Kingdom of Hungary (Regnum Hungaria) only about 1060, during rule the king Andrew 1st. During 11-12th century the country was much smaller than in the video. Carpatians mountains were reached only in 12th century. Even Vazul (brother of Stephen 1st), Belo 1st, Geza 1st, Ladislaus 1st (Szent László), Almos had enought strength to issued their own coins in Princedom of Nitra, which were more valuable than issued by regular King.. Even successors of Kings always come from Duke of Nitra (Andrew 1st, Belo1st, Geza 1st, Ladislaus 1st, Almos, Belo2nd). According to census in 1870, the population of Kingdom of Hungary was 13 219 350. Magyars were 6 136 438,Romanians were 2 202 542, Germans 1 820 922, Slovaks 1 817 230, Ruthenians 469 421, Serbs 267 345, Croatians 206 655. Percentage of Magyars was 46%, Slovaks 14%. Non - Magyars were together 54%. Non - Magyars was even more if we calculate that today´s Croatia was only administratevely separated from Kingdom of Hungary before this census in order to statistically increase percentage of Magyars.
@@robertolynx9299 yes the Hungarians did have low population numbers (mongol invasion, ottoman invasian, Austrian Hungarian war WW1 etc, you get the point Hungarians never bred like rabbits so their numbers werent that high, but using that to claim Hungarian land is disgusting, its like some Japanese people going go China, having lots of kids, waiting for China to lose a lot of population and then they can say that they are the majority, they want their land.

There are some example words to see the main logic of the language: testvér = test + vér (brother = body + blood) (Jesus: for my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink) nő - nővér (woman - sister) nővér = nő + vér (sister = woman + blood) fiú - férfi - fivér (boy - man - brother) fivér = fi + vér (brother = man + blood) szeretet (love) = szer - etet (feed) gyűlölet (hate) = gyűl - ölet (kill) félelem = fél - elem (fear = half - element) feleség = fele - ség (wife = half - ness) egészség = egész - ség (health = whole - ness) (you will be healthy if the whole thing recover) ház - házas (house - married) változás - válság (change - crisis) (need change something to solve the crisis) iSTeN - SaTaN (polar consonant system, include the maximum good and maximum bad scenario) (god - satan) megúsztuk - literally: (we was swimming) meaning: (we survived) (avoids trouble) Its mean the Hungarian language keep something about the old flood myth, however around the Carpatian Basin has not a big water. szél - szellem - száll (wind - ghost - fly) levegő - lebegő (air - float) lélek - lélegzik (soul/spirit - breathe) étel - élet (food - life) nap - nap (sun - day) hónap - hold + nap (month - moon + day) hét - hét (seven - week) nyelv - nyelv - nyel - nyelés - nyelőcső - nyal - nyál - nyak (language - tongue - to swallow - swallowing - esophagus - to lick - saliva - neck) ér - vér - vörös ér (vein - blood - red vein) felhő = fel + hő (cloud = up + warmth) farok - farkas (tail - wolf) (wolf = the wolf has tail) ember - embrio (human - embrio) szarv - szarvas (animal horn, antler - deer) (deer = the deer has antler) kéz - kés (hand - knife) (use the knife by hand) kar - kard (arm - sword) (use the sword by arm) kar - karom - karmol - karol - karcol - köröm (arm - claw - to claw - to embrace - to scratch - nail) ég - ág (burn - branch) (branch = need branch for burning) fa - fázik (wood - be cold) (be cold = need seek/cut wood) ág - agancs (branch - antler) (the antler looks similar like the branches) nő - nőzik (woman - to womanize) öl - lő (kill - shoot) vár - vár (to wait - castle) (castle = where need wait for the enemy gone) vörös/veres - véres (red color - bloody) itt a tó - itató (here is the pond) - (animal drinkers) tó - toporog (pond - to stand indecisively awkwardly) puszta - pusztaság - pusztít - pusztul (bare, prairie, desert - desolation - to destroy - to decay) (seems these English words has similar logic) There are some example nouns what have motion expressed connection with the verb: folyó - folyik - folyadék (river - to flow - liquid) folyam - folyamat (river - process) eső - esik (rain - to drop) hó - hullik (snow - to fall) víz - visz (water - to carry) patak - pattog - pata - patkó (brook - to crackle/to decrepitate - hoof - horseshoe) dob - dobog (drum - to throb) tenger - tengleng (sea - to sway/to wave/to undulate) nyíl - nyilal (arrow - to stab/aching pain) ér - ered (streamlet/small brook/vein - to arise/to originate) nyúl - nyulánk (rabbit - willowy/lithe) anyag - agyag (material - clay) Hungarian words for the points of the compass are directly derived from the position of the sun during the day in the Northern hemisphere: North = észak (from "éj(szaka)", 'night'), as the Sun never shines from the North South = dél ('noon'), as the Sun shines from the South at noon East = kelet ('rise'), as the Sun rises in the East West = nyugat ('set'), as the Sun sets in the West The word fiú (boy) is also often noted as an extreme example of the ability of the language to add suffixes to a word, by forming fiaiéi, adding vowel-form suffixes only, where the result is quite a frequently used word: fiú = (boy) fia = (his/her son) fiai = (his/her sons) fiáé = (his/her son's (singular object)) fiáéi = (his/her son's (plural object)) fiaié = (his/her sons' (singular object)) fiaiéi = (his/her sons' (plural object)) The are some example about the word-bushes the word-brushes has similar base meaning, like the branches of a tree: ló = (horse) lovas = (rider) lovaglás = (riding) lovagol = (to ride) lovag = (knight) lovasíjász = (horse archer) istálló = (barn)
My dad told me (I am Hungarian and so are my parents) that Hungarian is pretty much the only language where you can form sentences using only "t" and "e". Now writing it is easy, speaking it without tripping is a whole nother level.
Excellent compilation, although some of those are purely coincidental, appearing only in form. "félelem" (fear) has no root in "fél"(half) but an identical word "fél" (to fear), sadly despite appearances these two have a different root. "szeretet" (love) has nothing in common with "etet" (feed), it's just a result of a noun created from a verb "szeret" + "et" (to love) "satan" comes from latin, while "Isten" (God) is a proto-hungarian pagan word for the main god of the pantheon. The original proto-hunarian word for satan is "Ördög" the same goes for "ember" and "embrió", but there is an actual nice parallel there: the hungarian word for embryo is "magzat", the root being "mag" (seed) "élet" (life) and "étel" (food) are just two similar words no logic there. Some more happy accidents are "kéz - kés ", "kar - kard ", "vár - vár ", "ég - ág", "víz - visz " "lő" (to shoot) comes from "lök" (to push/to throw) "itt a tó" (the lake is here) and "itató" (animal drinkers) are the base for some puns, but there's no meaning behind it "fázik" (to be cold) and "toporog" (to stand indecisively) are Onomatopoeia, "fázik" from the shivering sound of "va-va-va" (later v's morphed to f) and "toporog" from the sound of hoofs "top-top" and to finish "anyag" (material) and "agyag" (clay) also has no common root "anyag" (material) comes from a similar misunderstanding as you've made above. as hungarians associated the latin "mater" (mother) (anya) with "materia" (material) (anyag) while those two have no connection in latin There might be some more, but these were the most glaring ones. The rest is actually a pretty nice compilation of the hungarian word-building scheme, which is why learning it can be so difficult. Making nouns from verbs then later making them into adjectives by adding different bits to the end, with a gazillion different little rules about sound harmony and when to use which one is a daunting task. But the end result when looking back is pretty logical.
this is mostly pure folk etymology :D Sátán is a Hebrew loan word. the same consonants with 'Isten' are a pure coincidence. :D :D :D some of your other examples are dodgy too, like "vár" as castle has persian origins and it's root the Middle Persian 'var' means 'stronghold'. Nyúl (rabbit) is also just a homophone of the verb 'nyúl' (reaches out for sg./elongates) and this is the root of 'nyúlánk'. Embryo is from Medieval Latin that borrowed the word from Ancient Greek. So besides the similar sounding 'ember' and 'embrió' have no etymological connection whatsoever.
@@busterbiloxi3833 It wasn't "their own" as in they invented it: the Rovas/Old Hungarian alphabet is a daughter writing system of the Old Turkic script.
@@LynxSouth well, almost all alphabets in the world (Greek, Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, Germanic Runic Turkic Runic and also Hungarian Runic) come from the Fenician writing. So, in the same way as the other nations, the Hungarian Runic alphabet come from the Fenician writing. As well as the old Turkic script too.
@@szalard Yeah, I’d say the Phoenician script is the grandfather, the Turkic is the son and the Hungarian runic system is the daughter of the Turkic one.

A little correction: as far as we know, everyone from the Magyar clans/tribes were able to write and read their own letters, writing system called "Rovás írás", which for the time was unique.
Great video! I think we can forgive your pronunciation lol. As a Hungarian, the only name that really hurt my ears was Vajk (it should be pronounced like "Vayk"). Oh and one other thing: you said things with "s" or "sz" letters like it was in Polish, but we "swap" those sounds over (S is like an english "sh", Sz is like an eglish "s")
@@cletus223 Technically neither but Vike is the closer one. The problem is the "a" sound in Hungarian doesn't really exist in English. It is somewhere between "a" and "o". But if you say "Vike" a Hungarian will likely understand you better than if you say "Vie icc" or "Vajk" in the way he said it in the video.
@@greggor07 I think it is just easier to link the wikipedia article of the specific sound. (There is an audio sample on the right) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_back_rounded_vowel Keep in mind this is the correct sound but in Hugarian the sound is a little shorter than the one in the sample. Here is a random audio sample of "Vajk" from a short film I just looked up from reference: th-cam.com/video/ec5HE4kek-w/w-d-xo.html this is what he is saying: "Neve Vajk, törökül hőst, bajnokot jelent..." which means: "His name is Vajk, in Turkish it means hero, champion..." Oh, one more thing. We also use the "å" sound but we write it as "o" or "ó", and the "ø" sound which we write as "ö" or "ő". If it is a short sound we use the first variants, if it is a long one we use the second variants.
I learn so much from joska soos he was Hungarian also but lived in Belgium he was a sjaman who learnt from an old horse handler in Hungary when he was young, then worked in the mines here in Belgium later, he wrote a book on his experience as a sjaman, very interesting, Joska soos
Thank you. This was highly informative and and true. The pronunciation could have used some more work but I don't blame you, Hungarian is hard for English speakers because we have radically different sounds. For example the name Taksony is not said like Tak Sony, it is pronounced as "Tak-shoñ"
The Hungarians were christian even before they returned to the Carpathian basin. They joined the Roman Catholic Church around 1000 when István I. was crowned. Hungary is recognised as a christian country by our western neighbours since then.
A Nyugati kereszténység Magyarország megszállását szolgálta és ha lehet a magyarok kiirtását, de a megtörését. A kommentekből látom, hogy az van a néptudatukban hogy Ottó megtört bennünket, tehát igaz. Nézd meg a Youtubon: Marton Veronika: Magyarország a Kereszt árnyékában. Ugyanilyen könyve is van.
Wow just saw this, cant wait to watch, fascinating subject. The first video of yours that I watched was about the slavic king I think Yaroslav or someone from the still pagan slavic era. Hungary is fascinating. I'd love to see some of your research on the Great Migration Period. Thanks so much.
Seldom does a YT video hold my attention for a hour however this well researched upload had me donning my headphones and my eyes glued to the screen. Im fascinated by all the different peoples who emerged from the Eurasian Steppe in particular the Huns who like the Mongels after them marauded as far to the East as China and Westward into central Europe. Whether Scythian or Parthian i just love horse archers.
you speak it like "gazer", I as a hungarian must cringe when the narrator says the hungarian names so wrong that even a hungarian has a hard time understanding it 😅
"Magyars" in Hungarian (Magyarul) sounds much more like "Mud-yars" than Mag-yars. I was taught this by a Hungarian professor who was a veteran of the First World War. Rev. Laszlo Hunyardi. Also "s" is pronounced "sh" in Hungarian so Almos is said "Al-mosh".
Great history, proud people, and wonderful culture. Hungary is, and will remain, one of the greatest and TRULY European countries, especially considering how the others are destroying themselves.
Our biggest king was called Puskás Ferenc :) Thanks for all the videos. Maybe should do a bit more research on how to pronounce names but still, you are awesome. Keep up the good work!
So nice to have a detailed video! I've just discover in my genealogy that I have some ancestral connection to the house of Arpad (the earlier generations). Being french canadian, I don't have much knowledge of Hongarian history (although I had the chance to visit Badupest, Gyor and Sopron few years back). So it was really nice to have such well done video!!! :D
@@monimelie I know about a french family from the 13th century, the Crouy-Chanel. The last hungarian Árpád king died at 1301, so the son-line of the Árpáds died with him (we used to say he was the last golden twig of the tree of the Árpáds). So the last hungarian Árpád king was Andrew III. And he had a son, later known Felix Crouy. So his descendants are Árpád descendants too. Anyways the official hungarian history knowledge didn't agree with it, but France agreed it anno. So this is really intriguing. As a hungarian I really proud of them and I respect them, our current hungarian politicians are piece of shit compared to them, but i'm very idealistic. This dinasty was a great and glorious one. My patron Saint is Saint Ladislaus I. There are several nice novel about this dinasty and it's members and this era. Shame there are only in hungarian language. These eras and persons would be a nice base of a serie like the Game of Thrones. Hail from Hungary! 🙂
@@monimelie So your family must be an old one. Amazing. May I know your connections exactly? Of course if I'm not too indiscreet. You increased my curiosity.
@@JWolf8911 Not at all! :) I have one single ancestor that came in Canada who was from the ''little noblety'' (noble blood but after centuries of female lines, the statues became lower and lower). Catherine de Baillon. She is the ancestor of about a million of north americans (that we know of) with french ancestery. In the case of Hongarian bloodine, we ''leave the royal boat'' with Maria, daughter of Andras II, who married a bulgarian tzar. They then had a daugther too how married a Nikaian emperor (Theodoros II)... then more girls or younger sons till instead of being royals, they become ''simple'' counts, dukes or lords. But there is some incertenty it seems about a couple of ancestors so, after all, they me not be my acestors at all (I'm still doing reseachs at the moment). Let's hope the reseachs will continue and clarify that so it can be certain instead of probable. But for the English, Scottish, French and German ancestry, that's pretty well documented and establish. Anyway! It's a pretty common thing, really, for french canadians to have some royal blood (not everyone but alot of us). The last king in my genealogy is Philippe Auguste, french king (1165-1223) so... royal ancestery is pretty far gone. :P My family is nor rich or importante nowadays. ;)
Any change you could list primary and secondary sources you used for this video for anybody hoping to read of up on Hungarian cultural and linguistic history?
An infamous prayer from this time ended with 'God save us from the arrows of the Magyars'. It is with this proud strength that Magyarország, to this day, survives as a strong Christian nation with her language and culture preserved despite Western European nations losing their culture to invaders. Visit London. Visit Paris. Then visit Budapest. Tell me where you feel safer strolling the streets late at night. Hajra Magyarország! 🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺

I second that thought. However as typical with many runic societies, many times it was only the upper echelons of society who could really utilize the runes.
They were completely illiterate as you could not get any education on horse back. They had no agriculture, industries or other skills common in civilized countries. They came and adopted (stole) everything.
Hungarians were first identifiably called Scythians by the Byzantine emperor Leo the Wise. From the Middle Ages to the present day we consider ourselves as such. Even today some of us know and use our Scythian symbols.
As a hungarian thanks for this video, you did a great job again. But it was funny to hear as you pronounced our strange names :D especially Bulcsú. But no problem, you're not native hungarian. This dinasty gave several saints. Not only King István, but prince Imre (the son of István), king László (Ladislaus), princess Piroska (daughter of Ladislaus, with the name of Irene - later byzantian empress), princess Margit (Margaret), princess Erzsébet (Elizabeth, later the wife of duke Hermann of Thuringia), princess Kinga (Kunigunda, later queen of Poland) were canonized. This Aethelred line is real new for me. There was a scottish queen - also a with the name of Margaret - with a daughter-line descendancy (and also a saint), probably she was a descendent of István's sister or daughter. So her son king David I. was Árpád-dinasty descendant too, and also a saint. Thanks again.
it IS a pretty hard language both to understand and pronounce😅 visiting in December, so thought Id learn a bit of greetings and other useful phrases, but I just gave up🙄
The ancient inhabitants of Iberia are some of the most forgotten badasses of Antiquity, they were never completely conquered by Carthage, it took Rome the better part of two centuries to completely conquer the region, they repelled the same german tribes that inflicted Rome its worst defeats since the times of Hannibal and the last campaigns in Iberia, The Cantabrian Wars, were noted for being particularly brutal and ended after more than a decade of conflict and required the use of eight legions; Viriathus deserves a video of his own and the Celtiberians and the rest of the peoples of that region deserve a whole mini-series IMO.
This was a great summary of a lengthy history. I now understand why Hungarians adopted the Latin versus Byzantine rite of Christianity. It would be interesting to learn more about the mythology of Hungarians, as my last name is of a mythological creature. I always wonder why it became a family name of Hungarian peoples.
Pronunciation help: Geza - Geyzaw Bulcsú - Bullchoo Gyula - Dewlaw Taksony - Tawhshon (where the last n has a Spanish squiggle above it and is pronounced thusly) Vajk - Voyk Koppany - Koppan (Spanish soft n at the end) Antony - Awyton (You get the idea about the last n)

Why is history so dull in school but so fun online?
It depends on the teacher. ;-)
@@damuses1452 moron...lol
gman aight he's actually accurate I can attest to that going through school and university myself. Way too many leftist teachers/professors who dismiss the great cultures of western civilization.. You must either be blind and deaf or one of those people (:
That is surely right I wasn't any good in history in school but now when I'm learning more about my own family's history it's becoming more interesting. Which is when I'm finding so many records online and also by taking my own DNA test I've found that I do have a small portions of Eastern European DNA through my French royal family connection with the House of Capet. Since I had found out that my 9th great grandmother Catherine de Baillon was born and raised in a minor French nobility family that has connections with major nobility families through out the rest of Europe and not just in France where 100% of the majority of my European DNA actually comes from. My peasantry European DNA I know for sure is 100% French I know that for sure. So those percentages of the rest of my European DNA must be my royal blood from most notable European nobility through the rest of Europe. Since the only other possible European DNA that I have from the peasantry European DNA that should come from outside of France would most likely be my legendary Viking Scandinavian blood. Since I don't have very many ancestors that were born outside of France other than the French Colony of New France in the New World within the paper trail of my family tree. Also there is only 1% of my DNA that showed that was Native American ancestry. I'm guessing I'm starting to get more interested in the things I have learned from about the history of European history is because I'm actually learning so much about my own European family's history from my own family's roots from my DNA.

@@jokemon9547 why are Hungarians in Europe if they are non-European?
@@jokemon9547 but it seems like the whole language was borrowed?? Look how close Hungarian and Kazakh languages are: (1) contract/agreement - szerződés - Шарт ;.

@@gigikontra7023 What does "non-European" even mean? Genetically, Hungarians of today cluster together with their neighboring groups. Linguistically, it isn't like most other European languages (Indo-European), but with that logic are Indo-European languages "European", since they developed in the fringes of eastern Europe at the best and expanded from there both west and east. And as for those words, that's not the entire language and those are proven borrowings into Hungarian from Turkic, mostly Old Turkic and possibly Oghur Turkic. Studies on Hungarian vocabulary have shown only 9% of Hungarian words are Turkic while things like German is 11%, Slavic is 20% and Uralic is 21% (Uralic includes the most simple and primal everyday words). Turkic is only larger than Latin/Greek and Romance when it comes to borrowed words.
Love Hungary from România,no hate!
I as a Croat respect our Hungarian friends.
As a Romanian, I do, too. But I don’t, when some Hungarians start making stories... like the one pretending that, as first comers in the land of Transylvania (~4000BC) the right to occupy this land is theirs.
Thank you!

BasszusX - If I’ll have to “chill out”, then you may need to “freeze” - I’m so sorry for you (as I am for many Romanians, especially those who peck out of Soros’s hand) who literally “kick out” historians like Jordanes, Strabo, Carlo Troya, Nicolo Zeno, etc, because their works contradict Hungary's efforts to grab back some Romanian land - who cares today about those grave distortions to history ...

few days ago we had anniversary of Pal Teleki refusing to help nazis in any shape or form in invasion on Poland, he said it is a matter of honour for Hungarians
We shared monarchs many times as well. We also had a famous general names Joszef Bem, who was Polish, and lead Hungarians soldiers in a fight against the Habsburg monarchy.
And then, Hungary joined the Axis and he shot himself. Fuck off with "muh nadzees", really. The relationship between these two countries is far more ancient and far deeper than that. Even when we were enemies, we managed to maintain an air of mutual respect.
HUNGARY TOOK PART IN NAZI BARBARISM AND INVASION.
Buster Biloxi True. But Hungary refused to attack Poland, they also denied the Nazi’s the means to attack Poland from the south, and did not allow the Nazi’s to use the railroads as a means to supply German troops in Poland. Once Poland was annexed, Hungary let in a ton of Poles fleeing Nazi occupation and persecution. The Hungarian politicians refused to backstab Poland.

As I Serb from Bosnia I am admiring this amazing history and culture! It’s amazing that. Croatians are not Hungarians today , since they were always in Hungary 😉 only this past hundred years they are not, Best regards to this wonderful nations!
We Hungarians and the Croats shared the same king. Other than that, Croatians ruled themselves .it was more like a personalunion than an annexation
Many hungarian national hero was also croatian as well, for example the both Miklós Zrínyi or Nikola Zrinska in croatian if I'm correct, as a person who lives in Zala-county he is really important for me. The two kingdoms were independent from each other, only the king was common (personal union), similar to the Polish-Latvian kingdom.
What do you even mean by your statement, my brother, Magyars, and Croats are entirely separate people groups. You claim to be Serb, although it most probably kills you to admit the truth, the Serbo-Croat people came down from what is known as the Middle Dinepro basin ( modern day south central Ukraine) hence linguistically your language is almost identical to your Croatian brother's and sisters. The Magyars were pushed down from southern Siberia, north of the Caspian sea and south west of Lake bikal. That is why their language, like Finnish, is not Indo European. The only commonality is religion and historical friendship, as unlike Stefan Lazarovich, the Croats didn't sell themselves out to the Ottomans. Selling his own sister off to the Sultans harem, thus stabbing the great John Hunyadi in the back. What did you get in return? Almost being wiped out by The Timurids, who burned 4.000 innocent Armenian civilians alive and massacred thousands of Assyrian and Georgian Christians. I'm Irish, so I bare no ill will toward the Serbian people, but I can not believe that you would defend the Turks after what happened in kosovo, Belgrade, and Varna. Finally, I respect that it wasn't just the Serbs but the Bulgars also that turned their backs on Constantinople when they needed you. If only you showed the loyalty of Skanderbeg and Vlad the impaler to their people. Best of luck against England in the European championships

Central Eurasia played a fundamental role in premodern world history in several ways. It was a major avenue for transmission of peoples and goods between China in the east, and the Near East and European the West ideas also flowed along Central Eurasian trade routes: Buddhism was transmitted from India to China, while Islam spread eastward along the Great Silk Road. Technologies, such as paper, gun powder, and printing, were transmitted from China to the West via Central Eurasian intermediaries. Thus, Central Eurasia played a paradoxical role, both as an avenue of peaceful interaction and exchange, and as a breeding ground for armies of nomadic horse archers which posed a constant threat to the kingdoms and peoples of China, India, the Near East, and Europe.
If you want trade from East to West in the Middle Ages, you can always count on raiders and tribals from Central Eurasia.

@@dan-iy5rs Before the Hungarian conquest, this area belonged to the Avars! ;)
@@secovidi Where did you find this info ? example : lake Balaton was before lake Blatno - very Slavic name.
Around Hungary are Serbia, Slovenia, Slovakia - Slavic countries. Avars came to this area after Slavics.
@@dan-iy5rs Partly true: It really comes from the word "blato", "boloto" (swamp, mud), which in turn can be traced back to the Greek "βαλτό". It may have come from the Slovenes who lived among the Avars, and remained among the Hungarians who melted the Slovenes there.
There are really Slavs around Hungary. And there are Austrians, Ukrainians, Romanians.
Before the Avars, the owner of the area was constantly changing: Illyrian tribes, Pannonians, Azals, Celts, Dacians. Then the Romans, then the Sarmatians and Huns.
The Avars expelled the Longobards from the Carpathian Basin in 568.
And yes, Slavs, in VI. century, under Avar rule, they were already in the upper Drava Valley ...

love Hungary ..from the UK..
Thank you.
Excellent video. Without a doubt, the history of Hungary is one of the most fascinating in Europe.
What is the background music called at 6:40? Please
Greetings from Hungary.
Great Vid. Altho you could have mentoined the battle of Pozsony which is probably the most important event in that earliest part of hungarian history. When the Eastern Franks tried to invade the newly settled hungarians with a ridiculously huge army in 907 and they met an utter defeat, thanks to the fact that hungarians at the time preffered partisan like warfare and they mastered the art of horse archery and the use of reflex bows. With these highly mobile tactics they were able to cut of the Frankish army from its supplies, so most of the army technicly were almost starved to death and thus forced to retreat, meanwhile hungarians constantly welcomed them with a rain of arrows, so they couldn't even actually managed to engage our troops in close combat before they perished.
It was the first battle in our history which was fought for self defence, and probably the most important one, since without that victory the Kingdom of Hungary would never came to be existence in the first place.
@@HunPride I know for a fact that the Battle of Posonium 907 A.D. is still taught in Westpoint Academy. It is such a unique battle in military history it is still a subject for American military officers.
Pozsony is Bratislava
@@THX-bz8bi the name of the city wasn't bratislava until Czechoslovakia stole it from us, until then it's name was Pozsony (and Pressburg in german), so it would be bullshit to call it "the battle of bratislava" because bratislava wasn't a thing at that time
@@norberthiz9318 i know i was adding to what he said.
It was mentioned in the earlier video in the pannonian series
'The time of Adventures', stories of giant sword-wielding birds, buried warriors adorned with riches - damn but early Hungarian history reads like an epic fantasy novel. I should really do more reading into central-east European history.

never heard of Hungary in ancient history
Excellent. Thank you. I love the maps and reminders of who people are. Much better than other presentations
So much German influence. I recall one book saying that they were one of the three main threats for the holy romans apart from Vikings and Arabs. Interesting they didn’t consider Poland 🇵🇱 as big a threat despite its size.
@cornpotato tomato no they werent good allies in the past. But poland and hre were no enemies
Probably because it was so decentralized and could barely hold itself haha
Hallo from Denmark . Amazing video about the magyars and the history of Hungary. Simply another Master piece from history time .... Now you mention Henry the Fowler . And we know him here in Denmark to . He is the indirect reason . That a United danish viking kingdom came into exsistence . In 933/34 King Henry the Fowler came in war with Denmark . The danes was defeated . And that left the border Wall/fortifications known as the danevirke stood right open . And Henry coud march straight into Jutland with his Army . There he forced Gnupa the King of Jutland to biptized as aChristian . And after thar Henry went home . Shortly after that Gnupa died... And his son Sigtryg took the throne ... But the defeat had left Sigtyg’s dynasty the house of Olaf(named after the semi legendary King Olaf the brash. That is Said to have ruled around the year 900) were unpopular. . And his enemies took avantage of that . In to the scene steps Harthacnut/Cnut the first . According to saga the tales of Regnars sons . Hardacnut was the son of Sigurd snake in eye . And thus Hardacnut was a the Grandson of Regnar Lothbrook(Regnar Lothbrook belongs to the danish sagas. And Regnar was a dane )....But Hardacnut started a rebellion and deposed Sigtyg... And Hardacnut became King of Jutland . And with him the knytlinga dynasty ("House of Cnut's Descendants )/Jelling dynasty took power ... Around 936 Hardacnut died. And his son Gorm(also known as Gorm The old) became King . Gorm ruled Denmark untill his death in 958. And thats when his son Harold Bluetoth became King . And Harold unified Denmark into a single by forcing the rulers on the Island Zealand and Funen to submit to him . And Harold was also the first Christian King of Denmark ..... So Henry the Fowler has a hand in creating a unified danish kingdom . By defeating King Gnupa and thus making the house of Olaf unpopular ... He indirectly paved the Way for another powerfull dynasty to depose the house of Olaf and take power . And they eventuly created Denmark as single King . Now the current danish Queen Margarete the second. She Can actully Trade her family back Gorm the old and Knytlinga dynasty . So one single family has been monarchs of Denmark since 936 . Though its different branches of the family that family that has been sitting on throne through the centuries ....
Crazy story, I though Lothabrok was half Swedish and half Danish and also I've heard that he was not really a real person, rather a legendary figure.
Well the Regnar of sagas is legendary . But Frankish sources mention him (or Regnarius as the latin text calls ) him as leader of group danish vikings that laid siege by Paris in 845. But were bought Off with gold...
madsdahlc I feel like you have to much nationalism when you read about these Vikings.
Have you read the saga about Ormtunga, it's about a Icelandic man who is sent by his father to explore the world. He goes to England, Norway, Denmark and Sweden.
All these people spoke the same tongue, had the same religion and the same culture. Denmark as a country you can argue started in 1848 after the revolution against absolutism. Denmark definitely did not exist in the 850's.
The raid of Paris was of Vikings, who knows if all of those Vikings where born in lands held a Danish Chief.
People who are born in Malmö are Swedish unless you where born in Malmø before 1658 then you where Danish.
How can you know that all the Vikings under the leadership of Ragnar was from Denmark and why does it matter?
your bruv Joey I dont have any nationalism here ...so o dont pull the nationalism card on me . I have been history geek my whole life. So you are playing the Big boys noe . I keep to Well known facts . Yes Denmark did most curtainly exsist in 850’es . Not as unified country . But as s series of kingdoms (its even mentioned in Frankish /german /English sources . Basicly mark is an old Scandinavian word for land . So Denmark basicly means land of the danes) . Now already around 800 a strong central power exsisted in Jutland . As the border Wall the danevirke was before that time . And that demands strong central power... Also a Channel was dug at the Island of Samsø . Another evidence of a strong central power . But also after Regnarius raid on Paris in 845. The Frankish sources says danes . No Way around(its possible that were norwegians and swedes among the vikings raiders). But evidence suggest that the raid on Paris happened on the danish King Horiks orders (Horik was King in Jutland). As he was involved with diplomatic aftermath after raid... The Frankish kingdom had just split into two kingdoms West Frankish (modern day France and East Frankia (modern day Germany ) . And modern historians belive that Horik might taken avantage on that split to cause trouble (As a viking fleet also attacked Hamburg) .... The West franks sent diplomats to Horiks court . Where they damanded the raiders be punished . Biut its not known if that happened . West Frankish sources does however mention that Regnar/Regnarius died shortly after raid on Paris ... Modern historian are guessing its dysentery ... Also Frissland in East frankia was attacked by danish vikings ... The trouble from Horik only stopped , when Horik was beset by internal trouble. He had lost control over his cheiftains . And he was forced to share his kingdom with an unkown Nephew .... Again I refering to Frankish sources here . Around 854 Horik was in civil war against his own brother Guttorm . And that ended in battle where Horik and Guttorm both were killed . His succesor Horik the second did have the strong power of his Predecessor. So the kingdom started breakup/go into decline . He was basicly a weak King ... And many cheiftains started act Independently from the King . Horik disapears around 864 from written sources. And at the same the grat heathen Army appears in north of England. And Jutland entered weak period . Where not much is known . The incident with the german King Henry the Fowler and force baptism of King Gnupa is known . Its mentioned in german sources . Jurland was only unified under strong ruler again when the knlytlinga dynasty deposed the house of Olaf and took power in Jutland around 936. ....
your bruv Joey but yes they spoke the tongue . In viking age Denmark and norway people spoke s language called East Nordic . While in sweden they spoke a language called East Nordic . But after viking rulers began to convert to Christianity (starting with the danish King Harold Bluetoth in 965). Scandinavia was influenced a lot german and latin ... A lot of latin abd german words found their Way into languages spoken in Scandinavia . And that influence caused East and West Nordic to evolve into modern day swedish/danish and norwegean ... So the modern Scandinavian languages are basicly latinized versions of old viking age Scandinavian languages ....

@@Player-st4hn Well, correctly Stephen 1st was The King in Regnum Pannonia, he was not king of Regnum Hungaria. Officially the country took name Kingdom of Hungary (Regnum Hungaria) only about 1060, during rule the king Andrew 1st. During 11-12th century the country was much smaller than in the video. Carpatians mountains were reached only in 12th century. Even Vazul (brother of Stephen 1st), Belo 1st, Geza 1st, Ladislaus 1st (Szent László), Almos had enought strength to issued their own coins in Princedom of Nitra, which were more valuable than issued by regular King.. Even successors of Kings always come from Duke of Nitra (Andrew 1st, Belo1st, Geza 1st, Ladislaus 1st, Almos, Belo2nd).
According to census in 1870, the population of Kingdom of Hungary was 13 219 350. Magyars were 6 136 438,Romanians were 2 202 542, Germans 1 820 922, Slovaks 1 817 230, Ruthenians 469 421, Serbs 267 345, Croatians 206 655. Percentage of Magyars was 46%, Slovaks 14%. Non - Magyars were together 54%. Non - Magyars was even more if we calculate that today´s Croatia was only administratevely separated from Kingdom of Hungary before this census in order to statistically increase percentage of Magyars.
@@robertolynx9299 yes the Hungarians did have low population numbers (mongol invasion, ottoman invasian, Austrian Hungarian war WW1 etc, you get the point Hungarians never bred like rabbits so their numbers werent that high, but using that to claim Hungarian land is disgusting, its like some Japanese people going go China, having lots of kids, waiting for China to lose a lot of population and then they can say that they are the majority, they want their land.
@@Player-st4hn Very big true! Thank you! Also Romanians Lieing history for themselves and they are saying that they are origin from the roman empire :D
Romanians had used ciryll alphabet and they had slavic language! Aroun the 17-18th century their language had been renew it 3 times!!! Latin, italian and french! That's why they undertand west mediterranean languages! Not because they came from the ancient roman empire! :D
I THANK GOD THAT I WAS BORN HUNGARIAN❤🇭🇺❤

There are some example words to see the main logic of the language:
testvér = test + vér
(brother = body + blood)
(Jesus: for my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink)
nő - nővér
(woman - sister)
nővér = nő + vér
(sister = woman + blood)

(change - crisis) (need change something to solve the crisis)
iSTeN - SaTaN (polar consonant system, include the maximum good and maximum bad scenario)
(god - satan)
megúsztuk - literally: (we was swimming) meaning: (we survived) (avoids trouble)
Its mean the Hungarian language keep something about the old flood myth, however around the Carpatian Basin has not a big water.

tó - toporog
(pond - to stand indecisively awkwardly)
puszta - pusztaság - pusztít - pusztul
(bare, prairie, desert - desolation - to destroy - to decay)
(seems these English words has similar logic)
There are some example nouns what have motion expressed connection with the verb:
folyó - folyik - folyadék
(river - to flow - liquid)
folyam - folyamat
(river - process)
eső - esik
(rain - to drop)

Hungarian words for the points of the compass are directly derived from the position of the sun during the day in the Northern hemisphere:
North = észak (from "éj(szaka)", 'night'), as the Sun never shines from the North
South = dél ('noon'), as the Sun shines from the South at noon
East = kelet ('rise'), as the Sun rises in the East
West = nyugat ('set'), as the Sun sets in the West
The word fiú (boy) is also often noted as an extreme example of the ability of the language to add suffixes to a word, by forming fiaiéi, adding vowel-form suffixes only, where the result is quite a frequently used word:
fiú = (boy)
fia = (his/her son)
fiai = (his/her sons)
fiáé = (his/her son's (singular object))
fiáéi = (his/her son's (plural object))
fiaié = (his/her sons' (singular object))
fiaiéi = (his/her sons' (plural object))
The are some example about the word-bushes the word-brushes has similar base meaning, like the branches of a tree:
ló = (horse)
lovas = (rider)
lovaglás = (riding)
lovagol = (to ride)
lovag = (knight)
lovasíjász = (horse archer)
istálló = (barn)
My dad told me (I am Hungarian and so are my parents) that Hungarian is pretty much the only language where you can form sentences using only "t" and "e". Now writing it is easy, speaking it without tripping is a whole nother level.
Excellent compilation, although some of those are purely coincidental, appearing only in form.
"félelem" (fear) has no root in "fél"(half) but an identical word "fél" (to fear), sadly despite appearances these two have a different root.
"szeretet" (love) has nothing in common with "etet" (feed), it's just a result of a noun created from a verb "szeret" + "et" (to love)
"satan" comes from latin, while "Isten" (God) is a proto-hungarian pagan word for the main god of the pantheon. The original proto-hunarian word for satan is "Ördög"
the same goes for "ember" and "embrió", but there is an actual nice parallel there: the hungarian word for embryo is "magzat", the root being "mag" (seed)
"élet" (life) and "étel" (food) are just two similar words no logic there. Some more happy accidents are "kéz - kés
", "kar - kard
", "vár - vár
", "ég - ág", "víz - visz
"
"lő" (to shoot) comes from "lök" (to push/to throw)
"itt a tó" (the lake is here) and "itató" (animal drinkers) are the base for some puns, but there's no meaning behind it
"fázik" (to be cold) and "toporog" (to stand indecisively) are Onomatopoeia, "fázik" from the shivering sound of "va-va-va" (later v's morphed to f) and "toporog" from the sound of hoofs "top-top"
and to finish
"anyag" (material) and "agyag" (clay) also has no common root "anyag" (material) comes from a similar misunderstanding as you've made above. as hungarians associated the latin "mater" (mother) (anya) with "materia" (material) (anyag) while those two have no connection in latin
There might be some more, but these were the most glaring ones.
The rest is actually a pretty nice compilation of the hungarian word-building scheme, which is why learning it can be so difficult. Making nouns from verbs then later making them into adjectives by adding different bits to the end, with a gazillion different little rules about sound harmony and when to use which one is a daunting task. But the end result when looking back is pretty logical.
Thank you, it's realy interesting! I am taking photo of this. Greetings from Russia!
Szena, seno, szalma slama, kosza kasa Kovács kovac patko podkova
this is mostly pure folk etymology :D
Sátán is a Hebrew loan word. the same consonants with 'Isten' are a pure coincidence. :D :D :D
some of your other examples are dodgy too, like "vár" as castle has persian origins and it's root the Middle Persian 'var' means 'stronghold'.
Nyúl (rabbit) is also just a homophone of the verb 'nyúl' (reaches out for sg./elongates) and this is the root of 'nyúlánk'.
Embryo is from Medieval Latin that borrowed the word from Ancient Greek. So besides the similar sounding 'ember' and 'embrió' have no etymological connection whatsoever.
it was pre-Christian BUT it was not preliterate! the Hungarians brought with them they own writing script the Rovas!!!!
Wow! They must have therefore been "great".
@@busterbiloxi3833 It wasn't "their own" as in they invented it: the Rovas/Old Hungarian alphabet is a daughter writing system of the Old Turkic script.
@@LynxSouth well, almost all alphabets in the world (Greek, Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, Germanic Runic Turkic Runic and also Hungarian Runic) come from the Fenician writing. So, in the same way as the other nations, the Hungarian Runic alphabet come from the Fenician writing. As well as the old Turkic script too.
@@szalard Yeah, I’d say the Phoenician script is the grandfather, the Turkic is the son and the Hungarian runic system is the daughter of the Turkic one.

Great video! Ppl dont realize how much work it takes to make these videos, narration errors, burps, coughs and tongue twisters. Also homework and downloading pics, putting into a app. Find music, pics and narration... great vid!
A little correction: as far as we know, everyone from the Magyar clans/tribes were able to write and read their own letters, writing system called "Rovás írás", which for the time was unique.
A THOUSAND YEARS!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha....
I love how every time you reference a name we’re reminded who they are, and it helps to keep up!
Great video! I think we can forgive your pronunciation lol. As a Hungarian, the only name that really hurt my ears was Vajk (it should be pronounced like "Vayk"). Oh and one other thing: you said things with "s" or "sz" letters like it was in Polish, but we "swap" those sounds over (S is like an english "sh", Sz is like an eglish "s")
I'm still confused. Is that Vajk supposed to be "Vie icc" or "Vike"?
@@cletus223 Technically neither but Vike is the closer one. The problem is the "a" sound in Hungarian doesn't really exist in English. It is somewhere between "a" and "o". But if you say "Vike" a Hungarian will likely understand you better than if you say "Vie icc" or "Vajk" in the way he said it in the video.
@@gergoturan4033 So if it's between a and o, is it like Vuhyk or is this sound more similar to Scandinavian å? Våik?
@@greggor07 I think it is just easier to link the wikipedia article of the specific sound. (There is an audio sample on the right)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_back_rounded_vowel
Keep in mind this is the correct sound but in Hugarian the sound is a little shorter than the one in the sample.
Here is a random audio sample of "Vajk" from a short film I just looked up from reference:
th-cam.com/video/ec5HE4kek-w/w-d-xo.html
this is what he is saying:
"Neve Vajk, törökül hőst, bajnokot jelent..." which means:
"His name is Vajk, in Turkish it means hero, champion..."
Oh, one more thing. We also use the "å" sound but we write it as "o" or "ó", and the "ø" sound which we write as "ö" or "ő". If it is a short sound we use the first variants, if it is a long one we use the second variants.
Thank you for useful linguistic info. You have added to the world constructively.
I learn so much from joska soos he was Hungarian also but lived in Belgium he was a sjaman who learnt from an old horse handler in Hungary when he was young, then worked in the mines here in Belgium later, he wrote a book on his experience as a sjaman, very interesting, Joska soos
So I always wanted to learn about the history of Hungary...
Then this miraculous video of yours appeared.
Thx
Thank you. This was highly informative and and true. The pronunciation could have used some more work but I don't blame you, Hungarian is hard for English speakers because we have radically different sounds. For example the name Taksony is not said like Tak Sony, it is pronounced as "Tak-shoñ"
French Orthography: Taqschiogne
Pronounce as described Taksony (T-a-k-s-o-ny) pronouncing all letters.

The Hungarians were christian even before they returned to the Carpathian basin. They joined the Roman Catholic Church around 1000 when István I. was crowned. Hungary is recognised as a christian country by our western neighbours since then.
A Nyugati kereszténység Magyarország megszállását szolgálta és ha lehet a magyarok kiirtását, de a megtörését.

Wow just saw this, cant wait to watch, fascinating subject. The first video of yours that I watched was about the slavic king I think Yaroslav or someone from the still pagan slavic era. Hungary is fascinating. I'd love to see some of your research on the Great Migration Period. Thanks so much.
Yaroslav was a Christian king, the Son of the first Christian king of the Rus St. Vladimir. The pagan kings were Rurik, Oleg, Igor and Syvatoslav.

you speak it like "gazer", I as a hungarian must cringe when the narrator says the hungarian names so wrong that even a hungarian has a hard time understanding it 😅
"Magyars" in Hungarian (Magyarul) sounds much more like "Mud-yars" than Mag-yars. I was taught this by a Hungarian professor who was a veteran of the First World War. Rev. Laszlo Hunyardi.
Also "s" is pronounced "sh" in Hungarian so Almos is said "Al-mosh".
Surprised at pronunciation at start of video
I heard it as the major of majority not major itself and definitely not mag i yars
The day you add subs in every language, you'll make BBC and Nat Geo broke. Outstanding video!

So nice to have a detailed video! I've just discover in my genealogy that I have some ancestral connection to the house of Arpad (the earlier generations). Being french canadian, I don't have much knowledge of Hongarian history (although I had the chance to visit Badupest, Gyor and Sopron few years back). So it was really nice to have such well done video!!! :D
even some scottish royal persons have daughter-line descendency, David I. and his mother. She was the descendant of István's sister or his duaghter
@@JWolf8911 Yep, David I is in my tree too! ;)
@@monimelie I know about a french family from the 13th century, the Crouy-Chanel. The last hungarian Árpád king died at 1301, so the son-line of the Árpáds died with him (we used to say he was the last golden twig of the tree of the Árpáds). So the last hungarian Árpád king was Andrew III. And he had a son, later known Felix Crouy. So his descendants are Árpád descendants too. Anyways the official hungarian history knowledge didn't agree with it, but France agreed it anno. So this is really intriguing. As a hungarian I really proud of them and I respect them, our current hungarian politicians are piece of shit compared to them, but i'm very idealistic. This dinasty was a great and glorious one. My patron Saint is Saint Ladislaus I. There are several nice novel about this dinasty and it's members and this era. Shame there are only in hungarian language. These eras and persons would be a nice base of a serie like the Game of Thrones. Hail from Hungary! 🙂

Catherine de Baillon. She is the ancestor of about a million of north americans (that we know of) with french ancestery. In the case of Hongarian bloodine, we ''leave the royal boat'' with Maria, daughter of Andras II, who married a bulgarian tzar. They then had a daugther too how married a Nikaian emperor (Theodoros II)... then more girls or younger sons till instead of being royals, they become ''simple'' counts, dukes or lords. But there is some incertenty it seems about a couple of ancestors so, after all, they me not be my acestors at all (I'm still doing reseachs at the moment). Let's hope the reseachs will continue and clarify that so it can be certain instead of probable. But for the English, Scottish, French and German ancestry, that's pretty well documented and establish. Anyway! It's a pretty common thing, really, for french canadians to have some royal blood (not everyone but alot of us). The last king in my genealogy is Philippe Auguste, french king (1165-1223) so... royal ancestery is pretty far gone. :P My family is nor rich or importante nowadays. ;)
I honestly expect you would have 1 million already. You're a channel that seems like something everyone would sub to. Something for everyone.
Any change you could list primary and secondary sources you used for this video for anybody hoping to read of up on Hungarian cultural and linguistic history?
An infamous prayer from this time ended with 'God save us from the arrows of the Magyars'. It is with this proud strength that Magyarország, to this day, survives as a strong Christian nation with her language and culture preserved despite Western European nations losing their culture to invaders. Visit London. Visit Paris. Then visit Budapest. Tell me where you feel safer strolling the streets late at night. Hajra Magyarország! 🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺
Magyars destroyed Serbian, Romanian and Slovak cultures. These are Western Christian cultures. NEM NEM NEM!
Ježiši Kriste, Orbán, nikto sa ťa na nič nepýtal! Choď si šíriť tú svoju xenofóbiu do parlamentu a nestraš tu slušných Západniarov!
(Jesus Christ, Orbán, noone asked you anything! Go spread your xenophobia to the parliament and stop freaking out decent Westerners!)
@@tereziamarkova2822 This is not a Trianon topic.
Thanks for sharing this! I hope that you will continue with the history that follows.
Love the video keep up the good work
'gy' is pronounced 'dj' in Hungarian. So it's not pronounced magjar but madjar.
Just a sidenote
Same with Budapest, It's pronounced Budapesht. You can easily get the right pronouciation from Google translate.
@@bogmorh868 Not to mention 'Vajk', pronounced 'voik'. Wouldn't you think historians could pronounce it properly?
Not to mention Talksonie, that well-known Italian historian
It's rather like in Duke
they were probably not entirely illiterate though since different kinds of runic scripts existed even in the avar days and from before too
I second that thought. However as typical with many runic societies, many times it was only the upper echelons of society who could really utilize the runes.
@@connorhilbert1987 yes thats what i meant, the nobility and the priesthood
@@martonjuhasz1544 greetings from roma kip chak to magyars arpad turkhis warriors
@@predatorsorin8402 Turkish has nothing to do with magyars. Only their culture was similar.
They were completely illiterate as you could not get any education on horse back. They had no agriculture, industries or other skills common in civilized countries. They came and adopted (stole) everything.
Hungarians were first identifiably called Scythians by the Byzantine emperor Leo the Wise. From the Middle Ages to the present day we consider ourselves as such. Even today some of us know and use our Scythian symbols.
As a hungarian thanks for this video, you did a great job again. But it was funny to hear as you pronounced our strange names :D especially Bulcsú. But no problem, you're not native hungarian. This dinasty gave several saints. Not only King István, but prince Imre (the son of István), king László (Ladislaus), princess Piroska (daughter of Ladislaus, with the name of Irene - later byzantian empress), princess Margit (Margaret), princess Erzsébet (Elizabeth, later the wife of duke Hermann of Thuringia), princess Kinga (Kunigunda, later queen of Poland) were canonized. This Aethelred line is real new for me. There was a scottish queen - also a with the name of Margaret - with a daughter-line descendancy (and also a saint), probably she was a descendent of István's sister or daughter. So her son king David I. was Árpád-dinasty descendant too, and also a saint. Thanks again.
it IS a pretty hard language both to understand and pronounce😅
visiting in December, so thought Id learn a bit of greetings and other useful phrases, but I just gave up🙄
Csak megemlítem, nem a posztodra vonatkozik. Nézd meg itt a youtubon és könyvben is megvan. Marton Veronika: Magyarország a Kereszt árnyéákában.
Just found you and subscribed. Love your stories. Quite beautiful and your love and enthusiasm for history is inspiring. Thank you so very much.
God bless Hungary!
Great video! I also did a video on the history of Hungary. They have such an amazing and beautiful history. Great video once again! 😊
I subscribe to yoy mate
Love your video. Please do one on Lusitanian War / Viriathus, perhaps the most heroic of all heroes in history.
The ancient inhabitants of Iberia are some of the most forgotten badasses of Antiquity, they were never completely conquered by Carthage, it took Rome the better part of two centuries to completely conquer the region, they repelled the same german tribes that inflicted Rome its worst defeats since the times of Hannibal and the last campaigns in Iberia, The Cantabrian Wars, were noted for being particularly brutal and ended after more than a decade of conflict and required the use of eight legions; Viriathus deserves a video of his own and the Celtiberians and the rest of the peoples of that region deserve a whole mini-series IMO.
Fantastic video! The music also specially well done. Thank you
This was a great summary of a lengthy history. I now understand why Hungarians adopted the Latin versus Byzantine rite of Christianity. It would be interesting to learn more about the mythology of Hungarians, as my last name is of a mythological creature. I always wonder why it became a family name of Hungarian peoples.
Pronunciation help:
Geza - Geyzaw
Bulcsú - Bullchoo
Gyula - Dewlaw
Taksony - Tawhshon (where the last n has a Spanish squiggle above it and is pronounced thusly)
Vajk - Voyk
Koppany - Koppan (Spanish soft n at the end)
Antony - Awyton (You get the idea about the last n)
Interesting & enjoyable. Haven't seen much of this part of history. Have you ever done anything on Yugoslavia (in particular, the origin of the Slovenians?)
