I forgot common historical background. The common struggle, which also shapes identity.

And I have to add, that from all the current languages of the Earth probably those in the Finno-Ugric family are the closest to Hungarian, both in grammar and core vocabulary. And this recent genetic study confirmed genetic relations too. What I said during the years I have had these discussions on imageboards is that it was a mistake to narrow down the research only to that direction. Quite a few Hungarians on the other hand stood by the opinion that it is completely wrong, probably due to the fact that many people can't think, but only in extremes, on one bit (0 or 1, all or nothing).
And I write about "current" languages, because there is no recorded languages Hungarian can be matched to prior to 16th century, because only the Hungarian appears in written form before that (back to the 11th century, 1055AD, in Latin letter, what remained from before that are all in Hungarian runes and their decipher isn't sure).
I also have to note that beside the Turkic people we don't know what languages were spoken by the Avars, Huns, Sarmatians, Scythians, and many other people, like Massagetas and so on. All just speculation based on sparse amount of words recorded by foreigners (they also have their own runes, it's just no decipher provided ever), and further speculations.
