Are Uralic language speakers more closely related to Altaic speakers than Europeans?

[Veritator]

Please clarify and discuss the following:

Do European Uralic language speakers such as Hungarians, Finns and Estonians have Turkic DNA?

Are the original Uralic language speakers genetically related to the original Altaic language speakers?

Are the Northern Asian Uralic language speakers, such as Samoyedic people, more closely related to Turkic tribes than to Northern Europeans?


Please discuss.

[Maciamo]

Most Uralic speakers (Sami, Finns, Estonians, Udmurts, Mari, Komi, Nenets, Selkups, etc.) share a high percentage of Y-haplogroup N. The Hungarians are an exception. They have hardly any hg N (0.5%). Their paternal lineages are very typical of Central Europe (mix of R1a, R1b, I2a, I1, E1b, J2, J1, G2a). The only haplogroup that connects them to some other Uralic speakers is R1a, but that lineage actually reflects Indo-European admixture.

The original Altaic people belonged essentially to haplogroups C3, Q and N. They were joined by R1a in the Bronze and Iron Ages. In the Middle Ages, Altaic speakers left their homeland to conquer most of Central Asia, where they picked up a lot of the local Indo-European R1a lineages before reaching Kurdistan and Anatolia.

So if there is one haplogroup that links up all Uralo-Altaic people it is N.

Complete BS saying having a distant Y-DNA "link" is sharing close similarity with an other population.

Everyone else in Europe are more related to Turks than NW Finno-Ugrians, tell the truth!

[adamo]

Correct, turks share a very minimal amount of dna with finno-ugrians, if any at all, about 5-10%

There is a huge difference between ancient Turkic people and modern inhabitants of Turkey (Turks). Turkic people do seem to have a connection with Uralic people. Both were Mongoloids at some point (and some still are). Turks are mostly Caucasoids, specifically, mostly descendants of neolithic farmers.

Turks are mostly Caucasoids, specifically, mostly descendants of neolithic farmers.

And also many Indo-Europeans;
Hittites (first) and than Thracians (Phrygians/Bithynians) that went to Anatolia after the Hittite empire collapse;

Uralics are and have been as Mongoloid as Indo-Europeans.

I actually like to study Mongol history but it really is related to Turkic people.

What is this agenda to push Finno-Uralic people as originating as Mongoloid when you dont have any proof of that?

The Finno-Ugrians and Indo-Europeans where born in the same place and spread together, figure it out.

I must say I agree here. The Uralic Urheimat is adjacent to the Indo-European one, and the closest relative to the Uralic family is still the Indo-European. That is not to say that they are related at all, but the similarities are just far greater than between Uralic and any other family, such as the Altaic. And, the Altaic family probably doesn't either, it breaks up into isolated languages. To make it even more complicated it is more difficult to reconstruct a proto-Uralic language than it is to reconstruct an Indo-European one.

The original Uralics were probably similar to the Mordvins who live close to the Urheimat where Uralic linguistic diversity is the greatest. As for where they came from before then, who knows? Proto-Uralic in itself can barely be reconstructed, let alone can any kinship further back be reconstructed!

As for why Uralics are often "pushed" to be mongoloid, I guess Finnish nationalists such as Mathias Castrén are partly to blame. They wanted to find an origin of the Finns and thought they found it in Asia. Also, during the cold war people in the Soviet sphere of influence were "pushed" towards having a more Eastern origin.

[Petter]

Of course, if we think of genes as having West-East clines, then Uralic people have more East Asian admixture, as they live further East than other Europeans. For example, Finns have 6% Siberian admixture which is though to have come from the proto-Saami speaking people living in Finland quite recently. The Saami theyselves must have picked it up from a Siberian people living in Northern Europe.

But to say that the linguistic origin is the source of East Asian admixture in Uralic people, that is definitly a stretch. Perhaps the recently found component in the Malta boy is an ancestral Uralic component? (That's of course a stretch too.)

I have not learned proto-Uralic is in anyway more difficult to reconstruct? Where did you hear that?

Well Swedish nationalists have also done a good job in making Finns mongols.
It is part of the historical pan-germanism so no hard feelings, modern science could even make Sveas our close relatives.

It is mainly outlined in this book:

Probably, but a mongoloid origin of Uralics is usually not a controversial stance, albeit for the most part false. The Swedish Wikipedia article on Uralic languages has a good phrase: Even though the Ural-Altaic family hypothesis finds no support among linguists, it is still common in schoolbooks and similar publications. When I was young, I certainly believed that Finnish belonged to a wider Asian family, because that was what school atlases said. The situation is probably the same in most of Europe.

More study should go in the cultural relations between Scandinavians and Baltic Finns, they seem so close that there must be something behind it.
One reason could be the mutual need in handling the traffic on the eastern trade routes, I am talking even pre-viking age.
The clan system would have brought the exchange of wives to seal the deals made, and from just this there are signs in sagas and genetics.

[Nobody1]

Finns arent close to Scandinavians in terms of Genetics;
In autosomal-Admixture the Finns are completely isolated and Y-DNA Hg Finns are mostly N-M231 like the Mongoloids of Yakuts and Nenets further east;

If a French or English fur trapper lives and marries in to a native tribe does this tribe turn French or English?

If you have no idea of Finnish or Estonian history you are just ignorant, the other option is that you feel like a mongrel yourselves and take it out on those that have kept themselves pure.

Your message was totally misleading so I think you really do have an agenda.

Why are Finns isolated?
Answer that one honestly and tell what is the founder population and first settlers of present Finland.
Where did they come from and who are the closest relatives?
Yakuts, Nenets, Jamaicans, Ottawa?

Baltic Finns are not Scandinavians, they dont want to be, they never where and never will be.
But they do share a lot of cultural things and connections that are worth preserving.
Both where hardcore pagans with a cultural fetish for weapons, that is a fact, that culture is still alive.

Relatively speaking, yes I am.

no the trapper turns native

Finns are not classified as scandinavians. The only scandinavian countries are Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Finns are part of the baltic states, which is Finland, Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania.
But gentics like to associate fennoscandia zone with scandinavians

And they should not be classified and dont want to be classified.

That obsession is for Central Europeans that are basically latinized serfs.

Sami people look extremely Mongoloid. Sami people share a common origin with Finns. Therefore it is logical to assume that Sami are part Mongoloid as well. Not to mention fact that haplogroup N seems to be primarily found among Mongoloids.

Saami are the paleo people that have changed their language to that of the dominant population.
Not to mention that those mongoloids are not related to orginal Uralics other than they spread their legs for them.

[mihaitzateo]

Hungarians,if you take most numerous Uralic speakers,are most closest,as genetics,to Austrians.
While Finns and North Swedes are most closest.
Estonians are most closest to Lithuanians and Latvians.
So this confirms the fact that Germanic people and Finno-Ugrian people developed together.
Sure,now are other Uralic speakers that mixed with Turks,after Turkic invasions,but original Uralic speakers were not mixed with Turkic speakers.
Sami people are Uralic language speakers and Scandinavians have plenty of DNA from Sami people.
Sami people do not have any Turkic DNA,think they are most closed to original Feno-Ugrian populations,from all Feno-Ugrians that survived.
(Sami people Y DNA,majority of it,N1C,2nd they have I1,so guess what,they are clustering with Finns and North Swedes;
but their maternal lines are different,with mostly U5B maternal HG).
Hungarians,after their DNA results,seems to have mixed with Thraco-Dacians and Slavic people.
A more very weird thing,a Romanian can read Finnish language,without any effort,we are pronouncing their written words,as they are pronouncing them,but we do not understand these words.
Give me a Finnish written text and I will read it and record it and you listen it and tell if you are understand what I am saying.
So I think is quite clear that most closest people to Finno-Ugrians are Germanic people.

It is a beautiful picture, shame you dont understand it, Swedes should be proud they are that breaking out in it.
You should read about founder effect with Kuusamo and know that Helsinki is full of Savonians.

Try the same chart with Western Finland, the area where most still live and has the oldest settlements, throw in some Saarenmaa, Livonia, Gotland, Uppland, Trondelag for fun.

Your total lack of history of the area comes our very clear.
