Hungarian
Hungarians, also known as Magyars, are a nation and ethnic group who speak Hungarian and are primarily associated with Hungary.
The exonym "Hungarian" is thought to be derived from Ugor or the Bulgar-TurkicOn-Ogur (meaning "ten" Ogurs), which was the name of the tribes who joined the Bulgar tribal confederacy that ruled the eastern parts of Hungary after the Avars.
The Hungarian people refer to themselves by the demonym "Magyar" rather than the term "Hungarian". Magyar is a Finno-Ugric word from the Old Hungarian mogyer. The term "Magyar" possibly comes from the name of the most prominent Hungarian Tribe, called Megyer. The term Magyar may also come from the Hunnic term "Muageris" or Muge.
The Greek cognate of Tourkia was used by the Byzentine emperorand scholar Constantine VII in his book, though in his use, "Turks" always referred to Magyars.
During the 4th millennium BC, the Uralic-speaking peoples who were living in the central and southern regions of the Urals split up. Some dispersed towards the west and northwest and came into contact with Iranian speakers who were spreading northwards.
In the 4th and 5th centuries AD, the Hungarians moved to the west of the Ural Mountains to the area between the southern Ural Mountains and the Volga River known as Bashkiria and Perm Krai. In the early 8th century, some of the Hungarians moved to the Don River to an area between the Volga, Don and the Seversky Donets rivers. Meanwhile, the descendants of those Hungarians who stayed in Bashkiria remained there as late as 1241.
The Hungarians around the Don River were subordinates of the Khazat khaganate.
