	Review of Ural'skie jazyki
		The hesitation about the exact number of primary branches is due to the fact that while Sámi, Finnic, Mordvin, Mari, Permian, and Samoyed are beyond doubt as historical linguistic entities, with a host of common innovations in each, the same is far from true about the alleged Ugrian branch, consisting of Hungarian, Mansi, and Khanty.
		Another obscure concept, viz ´conversion', seems to refer to the existence of nominal conjugation in Mordvin and Samoyed, which is not conversion, and the function of the ± sign in the columns of Ugrian languages remains obscure.
		As a start, we find that contrary to the dogma of the Finnish school of historical linguists, Mordvin rather than Sámi is the branch most closely related to Finnic, a statement which in its controversiality lends support to the notion of non-binary classification of the Uralic language family.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hungarian Literature
		As was determined by the Jesuit Sajnovics in 1770, it is most nearly related to the Vogul-Ostiak, though the Hungarians have been separated for more than two thousand years from the people using that tongue.
		Together with the Vogul-Ostiak, Hungarian, as well as Lappish, Finnish, Cheremis, Mordvin, and Samojed, belongs to the Ural group of languages, and further, together with Turkish and Mongolian — all of Asiatic origin — to the Ural-Altaic group.
		The vocabulary of Hungarian has been greatly enriched by words borrowed from neighbouring peoples, as from the Persian and especially from the Turkish, even before the immigration into the present Hungary (896), so that it was for some time thought that Hungarian was most nearly allied to the Turco-Mongolian stock (Vámbéry).
