    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.

      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.

      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".

    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. Local and regional languages of all indigenous peoples in Russia are fast going extinct, unless something dramatic is done. With every language saved we would preserve a certain view to the world.

    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.

      @@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.

    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.

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"?

      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".

      @@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.

    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

      @captainch6182 Před 4 lety +2

      @@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.

    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.
