The Hazarian Khanate also is in the position of the real founder of the Hungarian (Magyar) State. Actually being an Ural (Fin-Ugor) tribe, the Ungarian, who are also close relatives to the Vogul and Ostiyak, came down from their former countries, the slopes of the Ural woodland to the lines of the steppes and lived together with the Ogur Turks for a long period. In the years 463, with the pressure caused by the move of the Sabar's towards west, together with the Ogur a crowded part of the Ungarian (some of them are resident on todays land of the Bashkirt / Magna Hungaria = Main or Great Hungaria) came down to North Caucasia, the regions of river Kuban. As they lived for a long time under the regency of the On-Ogur, the ancient history of the Hungarian who were known under the name On-Ogur (= Ongur, Ongri, Ungor, Ungaros, Hungaros, Hongrois, Venger etc.) tells about the legends of the brides of Belar (Bul-gar) and the two daughters of the prince of Alan who were abducted and taken as wife by Hunor (Hun-eri) and Moger (Magy-eri). Furthermore it is told about Huror and Moger brothers and their passing to the west side of the Azak Sea under the guidance of a deer. These all are memories that reminds of the Hungarian, who were in close relation with the Bulgarian in the north side of Black Sea - and possibly through the mediation of the Bulgarian - also to the Hun's and in neighbourship with the Alan's. During the occupation of Caucasia by the Sabariar's, the Hungarian, who were called "Sabar (d)" and later on (as the Gok-Turk power reached Crimea and later on due to the Hazarian administration) "Turk", after living for 400 years together with the Turks, adopted under the deep influence of the Steppe culture the elements of Turkish culture, organised themselves according to this, learned to breed animals, farming, viniculture, the concept of law and writing.
Following Turkish words (western, that means with - r's - from the Bulgarian Turkish), that are still alive in the Hungarian language are a clear proof for it: Ökör=öküz=ox, tino=dana=calf, bika=boğa=bull, borju=buzağı=fawn, tyuk=tavuk=hen, kos=koç=ram, kecske=keçi=goat, tarlo=tarla=acre, teknö=tekne=boat, karo=kazık=stake, eke=saban=plough, arok=arık= emaciated, buza=buğday=wheat, arpa=arpa=barley, borso=bıçak=knife, alma=elma=apple, szölö=üzüm=grapes, sereg=çeri(g)=army, beke=barış=peace, erö=erk=power, törveny=töre= law, tanu=tanık=witness, belyeg=belge=document, erdem=erdem=merit, egy=kutsal=wholy, bün=günah=sin, bölcs=bilge=wise, kek=gök=sky (blue), sarga=sarı=yellow, szam=sayı=number, betü=biti(g)=letter, ir+ni=writing etc.... As the Hungarian lived at the region of river Don (Dentü-Mogyeria) and were under the regency of their leader Lebedi, who had been assigned for the Hazarian Khanate and even married a Hazarian princess and possibly was entitled as "kündü", left their places upon the Pechenek pressure that came from east and settled to the region of Dnyeper-Dnyester-Prut (=Etel-küzü ~ Etelköz= between rivers). The names of the tribes clearly show us that the Hungarian, during the times as they lived under the leadership of Kün-dü and "Üge", with and "ür", appointed by the Hazarian Khanate, on top of each unity that were formed of 7 tribes, totally mixed up with the Turks: Tarjan (tarkan), Yenö (from the Turkish title "ınak") Kurdish Gyarmat (the untired), Ker (big, huge), Keszi (cut, piece).
The other two tribes had been Fin-Ugor: Nyek and Magyar. Almış-oğlu Arpad (Turkish, Arpacık) got full competence from the Khan of Hazar to hold the Hungarian forces together against the Pechenek danger, as the Khan was avare of the situation that he had to leave the Pechenek pass through his country in 880. So Arpad was announced the leader of the Hungarian tribes unity by "being lifted up on a shield in the Turkish (Hazar) way of custom" and probably got the title Gyula (=Yula, Cula, Turkish title). With the joining of the Kabar, who were founded by three races and separated from the Hazar population, number of the Hungarian tribes raised to 8. Turkish element among the Hungarian became more dominant and as a result of this, beneath Fin-Ugorish Turkish had also became a widespread language. This two-language situation seems to have last about a decade. Becasue of the 2nd great Pechenek attack against the Hungarian in 889, the Hungarians had to leave Etelküzü. Under the leadership of Arpad (died in 907) they occupied and founded their today's nation (Hungaria, 896) down in the region of Tu-na-Tisa, which had been formerly discovered and as it fit to their way of living, by the Avar's together with a part of their fellowmen.
Members of the Arpad family, who originated from the Turkish race and lasted until 1301, had Turkish names until they accepted Christianity (Roman Catholic) in 1000: Tarkaç, Yutaş, Taş, Tarma and Geza; two princesses: Saroltu, Karoldu (Ak-gelincik, Kara-gelincik) and king Vayk (= Bay+k) who took the name Stephanos (Istvan) and made Christianity the religion of the state. According to Byzantian sources, in those days the Hungarian always were called "Turk" and Hungary was called "Turkey (Toupxia)". Furthermore, until the middle of 16th century the Szekely (Sekel) a group of Hungarians, who originally were of Turkish race and are resident in today's Erdel (Transilvania) had used the so called Hungarian "Engraving Inscription" (Rovasiras) which is a continuing form of the ancient Orhun alphabet with slight differences. A remembrance of this inscription was found in Istanbul (Elçi Han Epitaph 16th century).
