How Uralic are Hungarians and who are they closest to?

I checked the Top 10 closest Non-Hungarian populations to each region of Hungary:

Now mixed mode models of ancestry modelling Hungarians as a mixture of their neighbours (I used Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia) and populations from Russia, I used the Reduce to 5 Populations (R5P) option:

So Hungarians from every region have just several percent of Uralic ancestry.

[Luke35]

Nice work. These results seem to be as expected. Is this Eurogenes K36 based?

Edit: I'm guessing it's not K36 as the distances are low.

It is based on the reference populations from my DNA Origin analysis (see my signature).

It is interesting that most Hungarians are closer to Slovenes and Croats than to Slovaks.

Yup, imo the extra German admix gets Hungarians closer to Slovenes, while the extra Southern admix gets them closer to Croats (on a PCA).

However, if we go by IBD analysis, I suspect Hungarians have a closer relationship to Slovaks. I myself have Slovak Genetic Groups on both 23andMe and AncestryDNA.
