This video is intended as a very brief summary of his book, Magyar Origins (Second Edition). It presents in a very basic form the idea that both Hungarians and the main body of Uralic speakers were in the Hindu Kush region as their languages were developing. The video also presents one piece of evidence from the book showing that Hungarians were practicing Vedic-Hinduism, possibly a very early form of Buddhism, when they arrived in Europe. Presented in the video is the fact that Hungarians were using the Dharma moon in their iconography, a distinctly Buddhist symbol. The video also shows that if Hungarians were practicing an early form of Buddhism then logically Sanskrit, the languages used to record Vedic and Buddhist teachings, would have been highly influential in the development of the Hungarian language. Briefly presented are the phonological errors that occurred as Sanskrit was developed into Hungarian. There is test that verifies the Uralic languages are not closely related to Turkic but are instead closely related to Sanskrit: Pronouns are not normally loan words. The word for you is the same in all Uralic languages 'te'. In fact it is the only word that is identical between Finnish, Estonian and Hungarian with no sound changes. This shows that the word 'te' is extremely resistant to sound changes. It is unlikely that 'te' would be the same in the Uralic languages but then be significantly different in related language families. Altaic languages like Turkic and Korean do not contain that strong 'te' sound for the word you, they use an 's' sound. Sanskrit on the other hand does contain 'te' in the form of 'tva'. In Hindi it became 'tu'. The related Indo-European languages display that same resistance to changing the sound of 'te'. French = te and tu Bulgarian = te Romanian = tu Irish = tú Polish = ty Russian = "ty (ты)" and "tebe" (тебе) and so forth. Not only do the Uralic languages share the same word for thou with Indo-European but they both display the same resistance to changing the sound, a combination that rules out pure chance as the source for its existence in both language groups. It's shared existence equally among the Uralic languages also rules out 'te' being a loan word from Indo-European as loan words do not tend to be resistant to sound changes in the adoptive languages since the word is adopted into a foreign set of language rules.
