The Linguistic Background of the
Scythian-Hunnish-Avar-Hungarian Continuity
1. In this paper I am going to cover the Scythian-Hunnish linguistic marks, which justify the Scythian-
Hunnish-Avar-Hungarian continuity; they indicate their connections with other languages. The results
of other branches of learning can confirm them, for example the latest archeological, historical and
Hunnish linguistic researches. The results of studying the geographical names in the Volga-Ural region
and comparing them with geographical names in the Carpathian Basin, Hungarian proper names,
common nouns and verbs are witness to the close unity of material and intellectual culture, and
language. This unity is more complete among some peoples and their languages, and it is less complete
among others, and there are peoples and languages for which only the mosaics of them are known.
The language connection of the Hungarian, Scythian and Hunnish peoples is complete and is witness
to a big material and intellectual culture. Geographical names in the Volga-Ural region take care of mass
of Scythian-Hunnish marks which are to be found in the Carpathian Basin, in other Eurasian regions and
in the languages of progenies of Scythian-Hunnish people. We can discover lots of marks in the
languages classed among the Uralic language family and Slavic, too. But these agreements with
Hungarian have other reason.
The studying of the geographical names in the Volga-Ural region has been providing results in
establishing the truth about the value of language relationships and shows that the opinion of the
Hungarian Academic of Sciences in this question is unwarrantable. It is very important to establish the
lingual connections in a right manner since this knowledge has philological and historical consequences,
too.
2. In present work I focus on the points of the compass. Their interpretation is possible only in their
relationship to each other and we can only solve them if we put ourselves in the shoes of our ancestors,
i.e. we are trying to think of these terms as they did. The logical system of connections presents itself in
the Hungarian language in a complete form. We are able to see the unity of language, material and
intellectual culture. In other languages the reason behind the absence of some links in the chain is that
they have not taken part in the forming of the language from its birth. It is reflected by their material and
intellectual culture appearing in background of their language. These people have another way of
thinking. We start out from Hungarian denominations for verification of the above stated thesis.
