Abstract
Summary of the research findings
A study published in Nature has used ancient DNA analysis to trace the origins of the Uralic language family, which includes Hungarian and Finnish. Researchers analyzed genomes from 99 ancient individuals spanning 6,500 years across northern Eurasia to understand the demographic processes behind the spread of Uralic languages. The study suggests that the language family originated in the forest zone of Siberia and spread through population movements and cultural exchanges.
