Madjars, a
Turkic ethnic group in Kazakhstan have been labelled as Eastern Hungarians, with genetic analysis placing them closer to the Hungarian population than to their geographic neighbours.
Yugra Yugra () has been believed by some to have been the Hungarian
Urheimat (homeland), which is today inhabited by the
Mansi and
Khanty, two related ethnic groups.
Magna Hungaria The term "Eastern Hungarians" is also used in relation to the
Magna Hungaria of
Friar Julian ( 1235), located at
Bashkortostan (the land of the
Bashkirs). where Julian was able to communicate with the locals in his Hungarian language.
Savard Hungarians According to Hungarian scholarship, there was a group of "Savard Hungarians" that broke off and moved across the Caucasus into Persian territory in the 8th century.
Theory of Kummagyaria There is also the theory of "Kummagyaria" (), in which a group that stayed behind possessed a country north of the Caucasus. According to László Bendefy, the approximate location of Kummagyaria is the riparian area of the
Kuma River,
Southern Russia.
Odorico Raynaldi (1595–1671) mentioned Papal relations with Jeretany (), called the ruler of Hungarians, Malkaites and Alans, in the 1320s. Earlier, Polish diplomat
Andrzej Taranowski (1569) had mentioned the latter information. In 1712, the French traveller
Aubrey de la Motraye passed through the area. His notes state that from what he heard from the local
Tatar population, he maintained that the city of Mazsar was formerly inhabited by Magyars. ==See also==
