The present separation of hungarians and slovaks is complex, sad story and it shouldn't have happened. The slovak-hungarian relationship was very good during the history, even in 1848 (after the national awakening) they have fought side by side against the enemies. The problem is after that hungarian elite forced the magyarization in Slovakia although slovaks have never rebelled against the state and this poisoned the relationship. In the future Hungary and Slovakia must became united as always in the history, but i know its a naive idea.

Anonymus the medieval hungarian chronicler and his writing (Gesta Hungarorum) is the most trusted source about the ethnic map of Carpathian Basin before the magyar nomads. According to him these lived in CA at this time:
1. Hungarus, lived in present central and eastern Hungary, Partium, Transylvania
2. Transylvanian vlachs, lived in Transylvania
3. Transdanubian vlachs, lived near the Lake Balaton
4. Slovenes (he called every slav as sloven), they lived in Transdanubia, Slavonia and present day Slovakia
These hungarus were uralic speaker assimilated slovenes for sure, but ethnically they were same like other slovenes. The chronicler said there were two sate in Carpathian Basin:
1. Duchy of Gelou (Gyula)
2. State of Nyitra
other areas were just small ""kingdoms"" ruled by the local minor warlord. The state of transdanubian vlachs (Keszthely culture) didnt exist at this time, obviously they became frankish vassals.
According to Anonymus the hungarus peoples were descedants of this common folk who lived in Carpathian Basin during the Hun Empire. We know from the modern sources that the european huns were mostly the joined local european tribes like uralic, slavic, germanic ruled by asian hun elite and commanders. We also know 3 hun word, described by romans these are: medos, kamos, strava. Two of them have slavic origin, which proves slavs played important role in the Hun Empire and slavs migrated to Carpathian Basin long before the Great Slavic Migration happened in the 6-7. century. So my theory is the hun elite was expelled by romans, but the common folk stayed here and became vassals. Somehow the uralic speaker core became dominant in the region and they assimilated significant ammount of slavs, but the slavic language stayed dominant in Slovakia, Slavonia and West Hungary. The original slavic core (who migrated to Carpathian Basin along with huns) were the original pannonian slavs.
