The linguistic relationship of Hungarian to the Finno-Ugrian language family is rarely contested even by proponents of other theories of origin, only the degree of this supposed exclusive relationship and most especially with the historical consequences based on it.
Hungarian is supposed to be an independent language within this group for at least 4,000 years, based on its many unique features and is also the largest member of the group and the most dissimilar to the rest of this language group.
Whatever their "ultimate" roots were, the other branches of the Hungarian family tree cannot be ignored but also must be given relative status to the degree of their influence.
