All that is hypothesized on the Hungarians is 100% linguistic.
The route they followed, whom they met, etc is 100% linguistic.
If Hungarian was the only language left of Uralic, we would have no idea
where it came from.
The archeological file is = zero
and anything archeological is just shreds to be interpreted in the light of
linguistic considerations.

See above.
The archeological file is = zero.
Everything is 100% linguistic-based.

PT1 : I have not written Germans are Asiatic. This is your personal
caricature.
I maintain that proto-Germanic, as a language, displays significant
connections with Tocharian, Tibetan, Early Uralic, Yenissei and Kartvelian
and to account for that, Jastorf is just outright stupid.
PT2 : There is no archeological support for : Hungarian, Chuvash, Cremean
Tatar, Turkish movements.
All we think about these languages (and people) is 100% based on linguistic
considerations (and historian chronicles when they exist).
The archeological file is = zero.
