The History of the Huns

[Turner]

The Huns came over from asia and invaded europe from the east. Attila the Hun eventually settled in what is known as Hungary today and they along with the Magyars and to a certain extent the Mongols are the ancestry of modern Hungary.
There were the Nothern Huns, Southern Huns and the Western Huns. Attila's huns ( the western huns) were made up up many different groups, asians, slavs, germans.....
Go to http://www.uglychinese.org/hsiongnu.htm#hun_europe
It has the whole history of the Huns.
I have spent time in Hungary mostly in Pecs and Szeged and to me the people in Hungary in their facial features, especially the eyes, have a very asian look to them.

Hungarians & Finns (primary linguistic type), seem to show stronger N. European features than, say, other elements of S.E. Europe - Romania, Bulgaria etc.

Could it be a rare case of assimilation? lol...

Hungarians, Finns and Turks speak the languages, which belong to the Ural-Altaic language group. Other people who speak this language group are Mongolians,  Koreans and Japanese. They share the common grammatical structure. For example, they say “I school to go�Einstead of  “I go to school.�EBy the way Chinese belongs to a totally different language. Some history books claim that up to 40 % of the central Europeans, including Germans and most of Slavs, inherit Hun-Mongol-Tatar blood. DNA study will support or deny this claim some day.

Excellent information - which gives a hint as to where the people came from.
