    it would be so much more useful if they published average scores by country instead of this.

    Yes, it's a rather peculiar way of posting percentages. Basically, they score how many percent of individuals in a given country score a specific ethnic region. This works in my opinion still rather well for more homogenous countries like those in Eastern Europe, but isn't that helpful in more multiethnic countries, where obviously there will appear many pan-global ethnic regions with no historical and geographic ties to that specific country. Also in some countries, like for example in Hungary, certain minorities will be over-represented greatly, mostly because of class reasons. For example I bet the percentage of South Asian is much higher in Hungary than just 2%, given how Romas represent almost 10% of our population, but Hungarians of Roma ancestry are also by far the poorest class in Hungary.

    Yeah it was very obvious, but i thought czechs have a little bit more.

    In Budapest there are tons of partly jewish people, most don't even know his distant jewish ancestry. The assimilation of jews has been finished during the 19. century and the begining of 20. century, and later being jewish was not good thing in Hungary. Most of the time, the baptized jewish parents didn't tell their kids that the family has jewish ancestry so many assimilated jew were hungarian ultra nationalist in the Horthy system, there were some epic fail because of it, for example the fanatic antisemitic Béla Imrédy who was party jewish and the journalists have found his ancestry. Or nowadays the another epic fail was Csanád Szegedi with similar story in the 2000' years. The assimilation of jews happened in urban areas and mostly in Budapest, the rural jews have been almost completely exterminated during the WW2, unlike jews from Budapest, so only hungarians from Budapest can have some jewish ancestry rural hungarians have not.

    Nope. Slavic is embedded in their Balkan category. Balkan on myheritage means paleo balkan + slavic mix. Slovenes, Croats and Bosnians are more Slavic than Hungarians in reality. Serbs are around as Slavic as Hungarians on avarage. Hungarians are more slavic than Bulgarians, Macedonians and probably montenegrins.

    This data isn't about admixture it jsut shows that 40% of Hungarian who tested with myheritage scored some German. It can mean 40% of hungarians scored 10% German or NW Euro, in reality this admixture varies from person to person. It doesn't mean Hungarians are on avarage 40% Nw Euro. I think some people misinterpret this data (not necessarily you, Dunai)

    This study doesn't say much about how much German ancestry the avarage Czech person has. Based on the Gedmatch results I've seen the avarage Czech is 1/3 German + 2/3 Proto Slav, that's just an avarage though, some individuals will be almost pure slavic and others will score similar to East Germans.

    What this study shows is that German admixture is equally widespread in Czechia and Hungary and after connecting this study to other studies we can conclude the Czechs who do score some NW Euro/German score more of it than the Hungarians who score some.
