Are fino-ugric languages related to turkic languages?

[Dacul]

Would like that people here,especially of finnic or ugric ethnicity and people of turkic ethnicity to talk about this.
I do not think these languages are related,found some short article about this:

[archangel]

well not so much today,but in the past were more related,both language groups appeared in close directions

[Dacul]

Well that is a point of view of some turkic member,would like to hear also point of views of finnic/ugrian members.

The current consensus among the academic community is that Finno-Ugric and Turkic don't have a genetic relationship.

[Žołnir]

From linguistic prespective even relation between Ugric and Finnic is rather vauge;

The validity of Finno-Ugric as a genetic grouping is under challenge

[superhorn]

Even if they are not realted, Finno-Ugiran and Turkic people have been in contact with each other for a very long time, and Turkic languages have had a strong influence on many of them,particularly Hungarian .
When the great Hungarian composer Bela Bartok (1881-1945) was in Turkey doing field work researching Turkish folk music, he was able to construct a long sentence which was nearly identical in both Hungarian and Turkish except for slight differences in pronunciation .

I would say that Turkic and Finno-Ugric languages are a lot closer to each other than Indo-European and F-U or Indo-European and Turkic.

[Talvi]

no.
