Quote: many studies of history, language and general culture prooves the opposite. here is one i have found in PDF format: Hunnic-Hungarian Etymological Word List (based on the editions of the Isfahan codex by Dr. Csaba Detre and Imre Pet ) BY PROF. DR. ALFRÉD TÓTH Mikes International The Hague, Holland 2007. "Introduction According to the results of independent archeology, history and philology, the Scythians entered the Carpathian basin from 130 B.C., the Huns from 361 A.D, and the Avars from 586 A.D. According to their common myths all three people originate from Mesopotamia, thus from the Sumerians who started to flee their homeland since the 19th century B.C., when the Babylonians, Kassites, Assyrians and other people attacked the Euphrates-Tigris area. According to archeological research from the second part of the 19th century, the Transylvanian Tordos culture shows striking parallels to the Sumerian Uruk Warka IV and Jemdet Nasr cultures and dates from the 6th millennium B.C., hence about 2 millennia before the Sumerian cultures. We thus have to conclude first that the founders of the first high culture on earth, the Sumerians, originated in Transylvania and second that Sumerians emigrated in several waves back to the Carpathian basin. From these facts (and not from nationalistic reasons), the Hungarian Continuity Theory (HCT) can be formulated as follows: “The origins of the Hungarians can be traced back to Ancient Mesopotamia through the Sumerian- Scythian-Hun-Avar-Magyar ethno-linguistic continuity, which, together with the evidence of the archeological artifacts of Sumerian origin found in the Carpathian Basin, indicates that the ancestors of the Hungarians were the first permanent settlers of the Carpathian Basin.” (Károly Dombi) The continuity of the Hungarians and their ancestors in the Carpathian basin was also proved anthropologically by the late Professor Grover S. Krantz (1988), yet without recurring to the Sumerian origin of the people concerned." ... "Conclusion We have found a phonetically and semantically satisfying etymology for practically all Hunnic words taken from Dr. Detre’s excerpt of the Isfahan codex. The debatable cases have been markes by “[?]”. 21 Hunnic words do not have a Hungarian cognate. Hunnic often shows intial prosthetic (unetymological) v-/w-, where the oldest Hungarian testimonies do not. In many cases different Sumerian stems (words) have been amalgameted in Hunnic, while they are different in Hungarian. Also the huge number of diphthongues in Hunnic is astonishing, while they lack in the oldest testimonies of the correspondent Hungarian words. This, however, can be due to the fact, that the Isfahan codex is written in Armenian that has 38 and thus almost twice as many consonants as Hunnic had or Hungarian has. Thus, about phonetics we can generally only speculate, since the orthography may distort the once actual phonology. Morphologically, Hunnic has the deminutive suffix –r that does not exist in Hungarian. Also in the field of postpositions, Hunnic goes quite different ways than Hungarian did and does. We come to the conclusion that the language shown in the Isfahan codex is not early Hungarian, but a language of its own that we have the right to call “Hunnic”. Hunnic, however, turns out to be very close to Hungarian, testified the first time in the “Halotti Beszéd” from the 12th century A.D. The possible etymological parallels between Hunnic and Turkic and/or Mongolian that have been stipulated already over one hundred years ago are not due to direct genetical relationship between Hunnic and Hungarian but to their common ancestor language: Sumerian. The word-equation Sum. di-bi-id = Hunnic tüve = Hungarian teve “camel” together with the fact that camels are proven by archeology to have lived in the Carpathian basin until approximately the 12th century, that no other neighboring language has a similar word for the camel and that this is not a “Wanderwort”, this alone proves the continuity between the Huns and the Hungarians that is shown in the present study by aid of some additional hundred words more. At the time when the Huns started to enter the Carpathian basin, in the 4th century A.D., there were no Slavic people there. Thus, because of the Hunnic-Hungarian word-equations, many corrections to alleged Slavonic etymologies presented in the common etymological dictionaries of Hungarian are necessary. The same is true for alleged Turkish borrowings. In many cases, we could prove that not Hungarian has borrowed these words, but that they have been borrowed by neighboring languages from Hungarian or Hunnic. Given the archeological, philological and historical proofs and the Sumerian-Scythian and Avaric etymologies already published by other researchers, with the present study that fills the “Hunnic gap” in the Scythian-Hun-Avar-Magyar ethno-linguistic continuity, there cannot be any serious doubt anymore that the Hungarian Continuity Theory (HCT) is a historical truth and not a nationalisticideological phantasy."
