Ugrians
Group of Uralic peoples / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Historically, the Ugrians or Ugors were the linguistic ancestors of the present-day Hungarians, and the Khanty and Mansi peoples of Western Siberia.[1][2][3][4] The name is sometimes also used in a modern context as a cover term for these three peoples.[5][6] In 19th century and early 20th century literature, they were called Ugrian Finns.[7]
The Khanty and the Mansi are collectively known as the Ob-Ugrians. They are ethnographically close to each other and live in geographic proximity with each other in the Ob River basin, mostly in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug.[8][4]
The majority of Hungarians live in Hungary in Central Europe. They are ethnographically and culturally distant from the Ob-Ugrians, and are only related to them by a weak linguistic connection.[6]
