What was false about that statement? The source I gave was pretty clear. In any case I looked into it more and added another source. --Chroniclev 03:56, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- The problem is, Hungarian was split off by 1000 BC. The 'migration to Hungary in the 10th century' is simply impossible; in the 10th century, the precedessor of modern Hungary, the Principality of Hungary was already alive and well. Have a look at the article 'Hungary'. I think this is clear: you can't found a state in the Carpathian Basin if you have just left behind the future Ob-Ugrics, and you are still somewhere around the Urals.
- Now about the date 1000 BC. Uralic linguists found the language had been split off at least 3000 years ago; if your 10th century AD were right, a Hungarian would understand Mansies! And I can tell you: I do not understand them (I'm a Hungarian.) I also gave two sources; but if you need, you can find more about the subject in the article History of Hungarian, or I can list all my books about Uralic studies (and there's a plenty of them.) --Cserlajos (talk) (contribs) 16:00, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
