The second part is actually easy to explain: Lędzianie (Lendians) were one of few Polish tribes, based the most south of them all, closest to Hungarian lands. So Hungarians just called Lengyel all the Polish people north from them :)

I know... my pronunciation sucks! (to be fair I don't speak Hungarian, Dutch, French, Vietnamese or Russian :P ) But I hope you still enjoy the video! Please share it if you can! Its a really big help :)
I was about to say, while I found the pronunciations a bit jarring from time to time, it's not like it took anything away from the explanation, and you kindly provided the spellings on each turn as well, so it's fine. Like you said, you're not a speaker of any of those languages, but at least you didn't go "this word... comes from this word...". Pronunciation was off, but I'd rather have off pronunciation that silence :)
Węgry is the name for Hungary in Polish. If Hungary is coal rich, it could be derived from Węgiel, the Polish word for coal. Otherwise, I don't know the origin.
My friend if you make Word Explainatory videos you should know how to say the word in different languages, this is the only point to critizise on your videos to me.
Dear Everyone! I'm from Hungary and if you want to come here plz.. DO NOT USE THIS HUNGARY-HUNGRY JOKE. This is not funny, and very very boring.. :c Thank you, bye :)
Szia Magyarok ! It's Kadir from Turkey. We call hungarian ''Macar'', same like how you call yourself ''Magyar''. I has magyarok in my life, so What I got I can say that. Magyarul origin isn't come from Fin-Ugor, it comes from Ural-Altay. Meanwhile guys, in schools they teach us; Magyarok is one of the Turkish tribe comes from Asia but they are integrated their new lands and religion. Akar hiszed akar nem, we have common something in history :) And also for Magyarok Attila is Magyar, for Törökök Atilla is Török :)) Igen, tudom magyarul, nem sok :)) Szeretlek Magyarorszag, Hajra Magyarorszag ! Miss you Debrecen és Babi!
marjinalyus23 It's kind of you. :) I heard the same thing. We have lot of common words and not because the 15.-16. century, much much older these words. Állítólag the mongols say too theirs ancestor is Attila. :) We are very old nations and our language is also very very old. Ye and don't forget about "Tarih-i Üngürüsz". I'm intrested in this book, maybe once I can see it. :)
Greg G Exactly, our common history comes from older. The most cultural sports in Turks and Hungarians riding horse and archery. In Istanbul, We went to martial museum, He said c'mon look These are our weapons, our arrows, our uniforms, our alphabet :)) About books I advice you "Budapesttől Ankaráig" :)
Gzoli Gzoli Szia bro, yes Sultan really famous name in Turkey, it's unisex name in Turkey. And also Sultan is name of the "Fatih Sultan Mehmet" who conquer the Istanbul. Your name really nagyon jò :)
The Hungarian language inflected and their root system is much older than the origin of the Greek and Latin languages. The Hungarian nation has a very ancient history, which I am very proud!
@Kkk Kkk well huns our ancestor and we are no europens we fought together against romans vizigots etc with huns that bastard papal states used us under christianity.
1:40 Nimród (Menrot) had two sons: Hunor and Magor. These two names have sacred meanings: Hunor is hon-erő, Magor is meg-erő. The "hon" means the land what you call home, the "erő" word means power and the "mag" word means seed. These words are ancient reference to a succesful nation that has a land that can be called home and where the people can plant the seeds of life (agriculture and babies).
serçe şahin the magyarok(hungarians) and the törökök (turkis) peoples have a long history with so much war but in the war we friends and think about the enemy they brave so i don't have any problem with the turkish guys they are friends for ever oh i forgot we fight at same side in ww2 like friends ;)
"magarzág" -kifejezetten nehéz számomra, hogy egy robothang-szerű kretén hülyeségeit hallgassam. A csárli cseplin-filmeket idéző háttérzaj pedig bemutatja az egész filmecske fajsúlyát. Maga az ötlet jó volt, de nagyon elbaszták.
nem egy kretén és még csak kicsit sem mondott hülyeséget. Ez a video nem egy szponzorált csatorna készítménye, hanem valakinek a szabad akaratából készült kreatív megközelítése valaminek, amit nagyon sokan nem ismernek a világon. Szóval egy kicsivel több tiszteletet ha lehet. itt csak te vagy a kretén.

Croatian is my first language, and our name for Hungary is similar to what theirs is; Madzarska, or Madjarska. I am part Hungarian through my dad's side, his grandfather was from Budapest, and he spoke the language, which he said was similar to Finnish. Not sure if this is totally true, but Finnish and Hungarian languages are the only ones in their language group, completely separate from other European languages, in school we called them Ugro-Finski.
Yup, they are separate, also don't forget Estonian that is also in the same language family, not to mention various other minority languages that exist in Russia, that also belong to the same family.
Smeagle - Are there a lot of Hungarians in Croatia? I remember meeting a guy from Hungary who was doing a trip to all of the places Hungarians lived in other countries and I think he went to some towns in Croatia
I couldn't say - I left awhile back to go to school in the US and have since become a citizen to stay and work here. When I was in Croatia I lived in a small town called Trogir, on the Adriatic coast, and I don't think there were many families with Hungarian origins there, but I suspect in the province of Slavonia those numbers are certainly higher, since that region borders Hungary. If I may ask, what country are you from? Your accent sounds European.
This friendship is one of the eldest in history and we have many reasons to like each other: - one of Poland's greatest kings was a Hungarian (Stephen Báthory) - a Polish general, Józef Bem became a hero of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 - we have helped each other throughout the wars: during the Polish-Soviet War Hungary offered to send 30,000 cavalry to Poland's aid - Poles helped us during the Hungarian Revolution in 1956 by donating blood and sending med supplies. - moreover Hungarians refused to cooperate with the Germans in WW2 despite being allies „I would sooner blow up the rail lines than to participate in an attack on Poland.”- our regent's words to the german ambassador. + we have similar dishes, culture and we can beat everyone in drinking :D I could carry on for ages, but I think that's enough proof. Greetings from Hungary! You're always welcomed here! :)
miawallace Polak, Węgier - dwa bratanki, i do szabli, i do szklanki, oba zuchy, oba żwawi, niech im Pan Bóg błogosławi. Lengyel, magyar - két jó barát, Együtt harcol s issza borát, Vitéz s bátor mindkettője, Áldás szálljon mindkettőre. 😉 I do know it myself, but I want them to make a video on it to inform our Western friends, so they can learn from our friendship, which is lasting since before the discovery of America :). Greetings from Poland, you're very welcome too! I don't know any Pole who thinks negatively about you guys!
Thank you! The video is a great idea :) Yes, the same is true for you guys, I think there is no other topic in which we agree 100% - that we love Poland and Polish people :) God bless you all!
Because we are the same inside.. When am having a conversation with a Polish person(person i don't know) in english, many times i have the impression that i am talking to an other Hungarian so i schwitch to Hungarian... Than they are looking at me with a questionmark on their faces.. And i keep repeting this mistake because at the time i am almost sure that the person at the front of me is Hungarian.. Nowdays when i have the gut feeling to schwitch to Hungarian..i just ask the person if he is Polish..
In Slovakia we say Maďarsko . We have actually 2 terms for Hungary. Uhorsko is name of old kingdom in middle ages , land of Magyars , Slovaks , Romanians , Serbs and Croatians , while today Hungary we call Maďarsko because its land only for Hungarians . I think it makes more sense then just calling them Hungary.
Maybe it's because of the Slovakian "alternate" history, Hungary was always Hungary, it was never the kingdom of Slovakians or Romanians, they were only minorities.
Croatia was always autonomous, it had own parliament, it was a special part of the kingdom. I wouldn't want it back too, they deserve independence and they always deserved it. I like them, Croatians and Hungarians were on the same side in WWII too and they were right.
You dont say . I know we were minorities , but before renaissance , Slovaks , Hungarians , Serbs , Romanians and Croats lived in peace , not caring much about differences , for Slovak minorities it was land ruled by Hungarians but peacefully settled by others . Uhorsko means something like U-Hor (near-mountains) And so Slovak considered the land to be theirs as well only ruled by Hungarians . After Uhorsko broke apart , land that was left of it was ruled by Hungarians and settled by Hungarians only , so we called it Maďarsko as it was only land of Magyars/Hungarians .
Dicsértessék további Magyar testvéreim! We've to be proud of ourself, because we Are Hungarians! ---------------------------------- Büszkék lehetünk magunkra, Mivel Magyarok vagyunk!
In Romanian the country is named "Ungaria" but Hungarians are called either "Maghiari" or "Unguri". Its pretty weird that we can call them "Maghiari" but we can't call the country "Maghiara"
Örülök, hogy vannak olyan emberek, akik békésen meg tudnak élni azzal a tudattal, hogy léteznek Magyarok és érdeklődik a kultúránk iránt. I'm glad that there are people who can live peacefully with the knowledge that there are Hungarians and are interested in our culture.
I am Turk(Caucasian Turk), and I can say that Turks are not Mongols, but Turks constituted a large part of the Mongolian army. A large part of the Hungarian is Turk , even if their languages are not the same.
The best way to pronunce the "GY" from the word "Magyar" is trying to combine the "G" from the word "Ground" and the "Y" from the word "Yell", then you get the "GY" letter. As I know Hungarian is one of the hardest languages, and it's not easy to learn (that's why I fell lucky cuz I'm Hungarian) because of it's weird pronuncion.
Great vid! I'm surprised nobody mentioned that ország means country in Hungarian and we named lots and lots countries like that, for example Russia is Oroszország (basically 'russiancountry'), Spain is Spanyolország ('spanishcountry'), Germany, Poland, Finland etc etc.
As I know a theory, the name of Hungary comes from Onogur, which means ten tribes in Turkish. Well, Hungarian is not related with the Turkish language, but they have numerous similar words, so it's maybe possible
Aleks Kevyn Huns,avars and khazars were turkic people.Magyars were Uralic people. Ancestors of Anatolian turks are Oghuz turks(Oghuz Yabgu state).These nations were nomadic,they believed Tengrism or shamanism.
Then tell me why a typical hungarian look like europid???? why we aren't mongoloid??? If we are Uralic why we look like europid? and the name of Hungary comes from Onogur. and we belived Tengrism and Shamanism
Finns are uralic too, and they look nordic today. Ethnicity differentiation sometimes gets separated from language evolution. Especially in the case of nomadic tribes.
Of course they are, hungarians left the uralic homeland way before (many hundred years) they have arrived to the Carpathian basin. But as I know, at that time the hungarians were genetically mostly a mix of turkish ("turanid") and baltic subraces and since then they also mixed with germans, especially in urban areas.
Hi dude, i'm Hungary and I really happy for this video why I have taken up the sleep in the history hour on the school.... It's really nice video! I like it! (And I don't speak english, sorry :D)
Since you mentioned you've been to Hungary four times it got me wondering:Where do you live?And can you do a sole video on the country since you porobably know much more about it than someone who just skimmed over it in geography?
I am from Northern Ireland (sometimes I just write the island of Ireland on things), I did make a short video about it once (ages ago) for another channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hoBPSSsp1M8.html - I might make something at some point in the future.
For the Magyar name origin you have to forget the finno-ugrian bs. That was an damn propaganda, that left the 19 century - after 1848 uprising as suppression our identity. The Ugors are related, but we are not their descendants, else them are partially ours from Almys-Arpad time since we ruled the rus Kiyiv, todays Kijev. Otherwise the Hungary word is came from the west, based on latin, as ONGRI, Umbri (yes north Ubria still existing). If you turn to east, Polish name possibly based on the Russian one as Wenger, Bulgarian ungarski, but closer related one countries are calling us macar, turkish macar, or similar. Just please forget that finno-ugrian bs. Thank you.
!!WARNING!! Don't read his comment before putting on your tinfoil hats first, it could cause serious brain damage to do otherwise (regrettably, I speculate that Zoltán has already suffered this fate).
Zoltan Hoppar It's a fact that Hungarians are Finno-Ugric, and I don't recall him stating that we descended from Finno-Ugric tribes; we were Finno-Ugric, but didn't just appear from the Khanty or the Karelians. It was always a big family. Basically, Ildico didn't appear from her brother Lászlo; they were both seperate but related, that's the analogy. The Turkic theories that some people keep bringing up, are nothing but fallacies spread by idiots for the benefit of Turks in eliminating guilt. It's no different than denying the Armenian Genocide; it's another way for the rotten Turks to get allies or forgiveness. Fuck the Ottomans and fuck Islam.
The whole etnogenesis has NOT begun in the Uralic region. It's much older. Yes, we are not turks, mongols, or altaic. But we have moved through all these regions, and the Don region has been one of the stops...
Zoltan Hoppar wow Ember végre valaki aki figyelt nyelvtan és töri órán. Menten lehidalok és még meg is érti hogy egy nomád nemhet eredettörténetét nem szabad olyan szemellenzösen egy pomtra koncentrálna venni mint egy viszonylag homogén egységben élő népét mint például a nyugateurópaiakat.
Akyasu White huns or Hepthalites are todays Afghan tribe of Abdali(now called durrani) who still live in the hepthalite homeland of afghanistan. European Huns were probably an offshoot of the Xiongnu who got defeated by Han Dynasty of china and pushed west becoming a mixed nomadic confederation with a small turkic elite who modern descendents are the Chuvash and Volga Tatars and Balkars( proto bulgarians Turks)The xiongnu were a confederation of mostly Turkic with some saka(iranic nomads),mongolic and yeniseian and tungusic nomads of north east asia whos direct descendants are the Turkic peoples of today. Fun fact Mongolic ancestors were the Donghu-xianbei-shiwei-rouran-Khitan-Wuhuan-Tatar(originally Mongolic self name later adopted by various turkic groups who joined the Mongols)(Mongol was originally a name of a confederation of xianbei tribes later used as a ethonym with Tatar being an alternative ethinoym of xianbei according to the Gokturk inscription and chinese records) Tatar being phased out due to Genghis khans hatred of his enemy confederation who used the name Tatar Khanid(seperate mongolic tribal alliance) who he defeated and made fight in the western fronts for his army hence the Turks he conquered adopted the term Tatar as the Mongols who assimilated them were “tatars”....you welcome
It's very political but I don't liked your comment. Why? Political. IDs so . But dna test 50% Not Slavs. And scythians Notice : German sunder the influence of germans :/. /(Real)
Balázs Nagy the hungarians are the only ones saying that man, ironicly that's the nationalistic filled propaganda of yours, offcourse we couldn't be related to dacians, because that would mean that we have a historical right over Transylvania.
Just a side note. The name has be taken by the Slavic peoples, Germans took it from them and the French took it from the Germans, Engligh took it from the French. So the name was 'Onogur', the Slavic called them 'Ugarska- Ugrin'. Germans took it as 'Ungarn-Ungarisch', the French took it as they heard however the French writing adores the silent H so practically when they hear a word like 'Ongrie' it can be written even with a silent H because there will be no difference so they got used to the wrong writing: 'Hongrie'. The British just took this for themselves and called them 'Hungary' and after conquering the world this name became the main.
It's even more strange that in Czech Hungary before 1918 is called "Uhersko", but Hungary after 1918 is called "Maďarsko", while neither the other foreign named nor the name Hungary calls itself changed.
@Well... Actually The confusion was actually done not by hungarians themselfs (they did not associate with the huns, it's 500 years distance between them) but from the Holy West Roman Empire's(today's Germany) historians. HRE were the first to record the battle with the magyars. The clothing and tactics were very similar to the only steppe Asian people Romans ever fought: the Huns. So the latin speaking historians refered to Magyars as huns in the 9th century and the name stuck with us.
It has a legend why we called Magyarország. Lot of years ago a big king lived on a big land with his two beautiful kids Hunor and Magor. One day when they were on a hunting, they saw a beautiful silver deer and start following it. The deer leaded them to a beautiful land. On that land they found beautiful girls the twin of another king. They married them and started making population. About a hundred years later. The land was full of people and they couldn't live. Hunor and Magor decided to Hunor go away and search a better land, and the tribe Magor stayed. Then from Hunor's population became the Hun country with the leader of well known Attila the hun. And from Magor's population became country Magyar named Magyarország
Actually in Vietnamese, Hungary is pronounced pretty much the same as it is in English. I just wanted to point it out, not trying to be mean or anything. The videos are very well made, you just earned yourself a new subscriber:)
The name is from a Turkish tribe who allied themselves with the Magyas long ago . "On Ok " means ten arrows in Turkish and other Turkic languages . They were the tribe of the ten arrows .
