Linguistic Distant Relation: The Hungarian language belongs to the Ugric group of the Finno-Ugrian language family. Some theories, such as the "Eskimo-Uralic hypothesis," suggest a far-removed, ancient common ancestor for Uralic languages and Eskimo-Aleut languages.
Origin and Migration: The proto-Hungarians lived near the Ural Mountains, similar to other Finno-Ugric peoples, before migrating to the Carpathian Basin.
