Could the Chuni mentioned by Ptolemy be identical with the later Huns?: "The 2nd-century geographer Ptolemy mentioned a people called Chuni (Χοῦνοι or Χουνοί) when listing the peoples of European Sarmatia.[37][38] The Chuni lived "between the Bastarnae and the Roxolani", according to Ptolemy.[37][38] Edward Arthur Thompson claimed that the similarity between the two ethnonyms (Chuni and Huns) is only a coincidence: Western Roman authors often wrote Chunni or Chuni in reference to the Huns, East Romans never used the guttural "[x]" at the beginning of their name.[38] Maenchen-Helfen and Denis Sinor also dispute the association of the Chuni with Attila's Huns.[39][40] However, Maenchen-Helfen proposes that Ammianus Marcellinus referred to Ptolemy's report of the Chuni when stating that the Huns "are mentioned only cursorily in ancient writers".[12][39] He does not exclude either that the Urugundi who invaded the Roman Empire from the steppes to the north of the Lower Danube in 250 AD, according to Zosimus, were identical with the Vurugundi, whom Agathias listed among the Hunnic tribes.[41]"
The Bastarnae also lived in European Sarmatia, and they were of mixed ethnic origin.
But they probably spoke one of East Germanic languages. Or maybe Celtic.

Russians for example have a HUGE Pile of Kazakh Turkic hordes, and many other Hordes that served under Borjigin dynasties.
