Magyars

Magyars are an ethnic group primarily associated with Hungary. In English they are sometimes called Hungarians.

Later genetic influences

Besides the various peoples mentioned above, who mixed with the Magyars during their long way to and at their arrival in Hungary, the Magyars also include "genes" from other peoples settled in this territory after the arrival of the Magyars, for example the Cumanians, the Pechenegs and the Germans in the Middle Ages, the Turks – who occupied the central part of present-day Hungary from c. 1541 to c. 1699 - and especially the various nations (Germans, Slovaks, Serbs, Croats and others), invited to resettle the depopulated territories after the departure of the Turks in the 18th century. A Jewish and Gypsy minority has been living in Hungary since the Middle Ages - all of them added their contribution in composing the modern Hungarian nation.
