It's time to explore a piece of Europe that is not talked about enough! In this video we will dive in the Uralic World! The name derives from the Ural Mountains, which are Europe's border with Asia.

The Finnic group notably has Estonians, Finns, Livonians, Karelians, the Veps, Votians and Izhorians (Ingrians). The Permic group has Udmurts and the Komi. The Ugric group has Hungarians, the Khanty and the Mansi. The Samoyedic group has the Nenets, the Enets, Selkups and Nganasans.

Wow! As a Finn I had no idea Finno-Ugric people have such a variety of dances, never seen most of them before.

[@lba6859]

Komi music reminds me Russian folk song, like the "Golden ring ensemble". Not surprisingly, finno-uralic culture influenced and intertwined with Russian culture, especially the central and northern, northern-eastern parts.

[@user-jy3wc3th9e]

Тitanic work. Your dancing is the book of life

[@VasilisDance]

Thank you very much!!

[@KevlarkKevlarich]

Mordovian and Mari songs are somewhat similar to Tatar ones, but this is not surprising, because they are close neighbors.

[@michelekurlan2580]

Vasili, You are spoiling us again, and we love it!! Your jumps and turns are STUNNING, not to mention the graphics, choreography, your spacial apptitude and apptitude for learning and executing complex moves without losing the nuances of each culture in the translation. And then, you put it ALL into a 15 minutes or less nutshell for us!! WOW BRAVO Vasili 👏💐💯

[@nashtokloginovskaya1568]

As an Udmurt, I am confused by the choice of such Russified dances instead of the true Udmurt typyrton. But you showed the Khanty-Mansi dance Kurenka very well, so thank you anyway

[@VasilisDance]

Thank you for watching!! You are free to suggest me notable dances or songs that show the true Udmurt spirit.

What? Finland and Hungarians aren't Germans?, γερμανικά εθνη δεν είναι?

[@selcukakerman2953]

Hungarians almost all, Finlands more then 70 /100 comes from Hun Turks. They are members of Turkic world congress. And they are lucky because religiously they did not infected by Middle East unlike us Anatolian Turks. But slowly we started to clean up 😂

[@IntiharNamazi]

They speak an Uralic language.

[@pellesvansl]

@@selcukakerman2953 bullshit

[@lba6859]

They are finno- uralic, but both in different groups. Hungarian closer to Mansi. Hungarians though went through strong influence from their slavic and balkan neighbours, genetically too. Nothing to do with Turks, as always appropriating everything that they like.

[@berkedemirezen2540]

​​@@selcukakerman2953 Such a ridiculous and ign0rant comment. 😂 Finland isn't a member to the Turkic Council, and Hungary has an observer status in the organization. Both Finnish and Hungarian (Magyar) are Uralic languages, not Turkic. Uralic and Turkic (a.k.a. Hunno-Turkic, Chuvasho-Turkic, Turko-Bulgharic) are two completely different, unrelated language families. Finnish is most closely related to Karelian, Livonian, Estonian, Ingrian, Vepsian languages. Hungarian is most closely related to Mansi and Khanty languages (closer to Mansi than Khanty) spoken in the Yugra region of western Siberia. However, Hungarian language has hundreds of Oghur Turkic (a.k.a. Bulgharic) loan words borrowed from the languages of Onogurs and Kabars that formed a tribal confederation with Ugric Magyars in Magna Hungaria (today's Bashkiria/Bashkortostan and its surroundings) and from the language of the last remnants of Pannonian Avars absorbed by their Hungarian conquerors. The European exonyms for Magyars (Hungar, Hongrie, Oungros, Vengry) derived from the name of Turkic Onogur, not from the name of Huns. On-oghur means ten tribes in Oghur Turkic (corresponding to "on oghuz" in Common Turkic). The royal house (Arpad dynasty) and the core/ruling tribes of the Magyar-Onogur-Kabar tribal confederation were of Onogur origin, hence why Europeans erroneously referred to Magyars as Onogurs too. By the way, Hungarian also has hundreds of Common Turkic loan words borrowed from the languages of the Cumans and Pechenegs (referred to as Kun and Besenyö in the medieval Hungarian texts) that fled the Mongol invasion, took refuge in Hungary, converted to Roman Catholicism in the 13th century and got gradually assimilated and absorbed by Hungarians. The last recorded speaker of Cuman language was Istvan Varro from Hungary, who died in 1770. To sum it up, Hungarians are a Ugric people with Turkic admixture and Turkic cultural influence.

Finno-uralic.

[@RandomGuy-rc6vd]

Thank you for another amazing video, Vasilis! I really wonder how do you manage to find music and dances from such small, obscure groups as Izhorians or Nganasans? Even most people in Russia don't know they exist. Do you find all original dances on KZbin/the internet? That is really impressive! And greetings to all Uralic people from another transcontinental Eurasian 🇰🇿

[@VasilisDance]

Thank you very much!! I do a lot of research, and even more for those isolated and not very popular tribes! I'm glad people get to know them in a dancing way! :))
