No, Hungarians are not Turkish. Hungarian people are of European origin and their language, Hungarian, is a Uralic language, which is not related to the Turkish language.
While Hungary is located in Central Europe, the ancestors of modern Hungarians migrated to the region from the Ural Mountains in Asia more than a thousand years ago. The ethnic and linguistic origins of the Hungarian people are complex and debated by scholars, but they are generally considered to be distinct from those of Turkish people.
It's important to note that while there have been historical interactions and influences between Hungary and Turkey, such as the Ottoman occupation of Hungary in the 16th and 17th centuries, the two groups have distinct ethnic and linguistic identities.
