Why are Greeks there at allSpace is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

There's no proof that Finns and Hungarians are of the same ethnic origin, Paki.Originally posted by paiktis22
They all come from there. Turks, Finns and Hungarians.
That's mystery no one has yet been able to solve as there's so many options and little proof. Only the roots of Finno-Ugric languages have been traced back (Uralic languages).

Nah, there's proof. They all come from Turkish/mongol tribes.
Bulgarians come from prot-bulgarians and other ethnic groups which appeared on the scene around the 6th century maybe a bit sooner.

Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

That's even less proved. Some might suggest that the tribe of the "Melanchlainen", which Herodotos mentions in his Scythia-account might be the proto-Finnugrians (OK, OK, this is based only on the ending "-lainen"...)Originally posted by paiktis22
Nah, there's proof. They all come from Turkish/mongol tribes.
Yet, Finno-Ugric languages are too different from the Turk-mongolic family to assume a closer genetic relation.
That's true, although the substrate of rural populace surely continued to be mostly Slavic.

lumping them together with the yugoslavs wasn't that bad then?That's true, although the substrate of rural populace surely continued to be mostly Slavic. The "upper-class" Bulgarian warrior caste then acculturated to the Slavic substrate by adapting their language.

Warner, nope.
Herodotus mentions have nothing to do with fino-ugric-turkish.
It was just some other ethnic groups living there at that time.
That's just an artificial later attempt to give "historical depth" to finougrishturkish which came from the same ethnic group and assimilated what herodotus talks about which were nothing in comparison with the finougrish turkish.Comment

I only voted for the major bits: (Approximately)
56.25% English
25% Italian (Sicilian)
12.5% Croat
Apparently there are bits of Scot and Swede in me somewhere as well to cover the remaining 6.75%.
