Hungarians =/= Slovaks.

[Jana]

I hear people keep repeating wrong stuff how Slovaks and Hungarians are genetically closest pops and almost identical.
Not alt all. Slovaks are notably more Slavic and north-eastern. Hungarians are lot more southern and also more German influenced.

. Slovaks are notably more Slavic and north-eastern. Hungarians are lot more southern and also more German influenced.

That was my understanding as well.

How are Czechs and Hungarians in comparison?

Seems Czechs and lil bit closer to Hungarians than Slovaks are (because Czechs are more western and less Slav) But both are similar. Czechs and Slovaks are closest pops to each other.

Even Hungarians from the Northern part of the coutry seem to be closer NW Croats and Slovenes, but they are still closer to Slovaks than other Hungarian regions.

[Hungarian_master]

Interesting, because the Slovaks lived in one country with the Hungarians for hundreds of years.

Before the dissulution of Czechoslovakia Slovakia never existed, just were part of the historical Hungary and Czechoslovakia.

Why the Slovaks further to us? What is the main reason of that?

It is interesting that in 23andme many Hungarians get Poland/Polish regions instead
of Slovenia/Croatia.

The G25 Hungarian result may suggest would be more likely Huns will get Slovenia/Croat in 23andMe but i see lot of Huns getting Poland and Hungary (me included).

I have almost twice as many Polish relative matches as Hungarian matches. It would be interesting to figure out what this phenomenon is?

[Universe]

Hungarians and Slovaks are very, very different folks. Even their farts smell different!

Not necessarily.

Being autosomaly close does not mean these people mixed. I don't know any Hungarian with Slovenian ancestry and it must be really rare.
On the other hand tons of Hungarians have Slovak ancestry.

Hungarians just share similar mix as Slovenes, but that's pretty much it. These two people didn't really interact in history except in fringe region of far eastern Slovenia (Prekmurje).
With Croats there was mixing, but similarity with northern Croats is older than that and comes from similar Pannonian Slav heritage.

Poland is interesting case. I do know Hungarians with some Polish ancestry irl though.

Those regions shouldn't be taken too literally from what I've seen...
I think it's not unusual for Slovenes and North Croats to also get regions in Poland, and even in Russia.
My father got Polish regions, and my mother got Polish and Russian regions.
Despite not having any known ancestry from either.
Most Hungarians are likely a similar case.
