 | | Compare other language continua such as <b>Balticb>-Finnic languages, where each transitional dialect has a name and is called a language, but has very few difficult differences from their neighbors. | | | The related languages might be partially covered by discussion and partially be links, links not oly to discussion of the language found in old inscriptions (such a Moabite, Ammonite, and Philistine inscriptions) but also to partially Hebrew languages like Yiddish. | | | The Hebrew language might be appropriately called the Israelitish dialect of Canaanitish, a branch of the Semitic Languages spoken in Palestine and in the Phenician colonies. |

| | The advocates of this theory insist that Magyars came from this group in the Urals, and as the theory explains, it was about 2000 B.C. that the Finnish branch broke away to settle in the <b>Balticb> area. | | | This was the strain of Magyars that in 895 A.D. would ride into the Carpathian Basin under Árpád-following the footsteps of the White Magyars who appeared in the Carpathian Basin in the 670s A.D. Árpád's Magyars has been termed by some modern historians as the second wave in a two-phased conquest of the Hungarian homeland. | | | The theory in turn holds that rather than being the recipients of a Finno-Ugrian language, it was the Magyars who imparted their language to the Finns and Estonians without being ethnically related to them. |
