Most Hungarians are Slavic/Indo-Iranians (Indo-European) in ancestry; and are NOT Finno-Ugric. Finno-Ugric and Turkic ancestry is in the Hungarian population; but not all Hungarians have this Mongoloid ancestry. And DNA evidence shows that intermixture with the Ugrics and Turkic tribes; was actually pretty small.
Most of the Hungarian ancestry is West Slavic/Indo-Iranian. (Sarmatae): Similar to their Polish and Czechoslovakian neighbors.
The reason Hungarians speak a Mongoloid/East Asian tongue/substratum language; is because a few nomads/horseriders from the Ural-Altaic/Siberia area of Russia migrated to the Carpathian Mountains and helped a few Western Slavs and Indo-Iranians to conquer and keep control of the Carpathian Basin, and to protect the land from the growing and invading Frankish Empire, to the West. (France) These tribes of Mongoloid horse-riders helped to fight with Western Slavic and Indo-Iranian tribes; and to hold off the Franks. (who had threatened their land, privileges and resources) These Indo-Europeans (Caucasoid/Europids) later only adopted the Uralo-Turkic language Hungarian; out of respect/honour for these "noble" East Asian "Ugric nomads".
>>> (This is why the Uralic haplogroup N1c is widely missing in the Hungarian population; and R1a predominates; but there are also lots of other Y-DNA haplogroups; etc.)
It should also be noted that Hungarians also have a very tiny admixture of Celtic and Roman (Italic). (prior to Slavic invasion and forced assimilation; by the Slavs.) and also a bit of Germanic contribution. (later due to mostly Austrian intermarriage.)
Hungary is/was basically the crossroads of Eastern/Central Europe during the Middle Ages. Just like France and Italy. This is why they are a little more heterogeneous. Just like the French and Italians. (mixed with lots of tribes/peoples, etc.) While the Western Slavic and Southern Slavic (as well as Albanians) tend to be a little more "homogeneous". etc
Slovenes likewise have almost the same genetic ancestry as the Hungarians as well. (mostly Slavic; but with smaller amounts of Germanic/Celtic/Italic admixture; respectively.)
(Hence, the confusion that Hungarians speak an East Asian / Mongoloid tongue. But they are really (mostly) Slavo-Iranians; in ancestry. Although, in terms of phenotype: you will occasionally come across a few Hungarians with noticeably Asiatic / Turanid features in their face/skull shape. i.e. Slightly slanted eyebrows, snub nose- Very straight hair. etc)
