The term Eastern Hungarians (Template:Langx; also called Eastern Magyars) is used in scholarship to refer to peoples related to the Proto-Hungarians, that is, theoretically parts of the ancient community that remained in the vicinity of the Ural Mountains (at the EuropeanAsian border) during the Migration Period and as such did not participate in the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin.

The possible locations of the remnants of Hungarians

Yugra

Yugra (Template:Langx) has been believed by some to have been the Hungarian Urheimat (homeland), which is today inhabited by the Mansi and Khanty, two related ethnic groups.[1][2]

Magna Hungaria

The term "Eastern Hungarians" is also used in relation to the Magna Hungaria of Friar Julian (Template:Floruit 1235), located at Bashkortostan (the land of the Bashkirs).[3][4] where Julian was able to communicate with the locals in his Hungarian language.[5]

Savard Hungarians

According to Hungarian scholarship, there was a group of "Savard Hungarians" that broke off and moved across the Caucasus into Persian territory in the 8th century.[6][7]

Theory of Kummagyaria

There is also the theory of "Kummagyaria" (Template:Langx),[8] in which a group that stayed behind possessed a country north of Caucasus. According to László Bendefy, the approximate location of Kummagyaria is the riparian area of the Kuma River, Southern Russia. Odorico Raynaldi (1595–1671) mentioned Papal relations with Jeretany (Template:Langx), called the ruler of Hungarians, Malkaites and Alans, in the 1320s.[9][10] Earlier, Polish diplomat Andrzej Taranowski (1569) had mentioned the latter information.[11] In 1712, the French traveller Aubrey de la Motraye passed through the area. His notes state that from what he heard from the local Tatar population, he maintained that the city of Mazsar was formerly inhabited by Magyars.[12]

    The Pope was informed of the Asian Magyars', the Malkaites', and the Alans' firm commitment to the one true religion. These nations, despite being surrounded by a net of godless, superstitious rites, have maintained their immaculate belief in their faith. A highlight in this regard is Jeretany, the descendant of royal Magyar blood. Since he requested a Catholic emissary from the Holy See, the Pope sent the bishop of Samarkand to him, in order to strengthen their faith, and to implore the religious men among them to remain steadfast.

    Greetings to our dear children, to Jeretany and all Christian Magyars, Malkaites & Alans! It has caused us rather great and natural happiness, that the Most Esteemed Creator, whose summons is constant and spreads to the entire world, to all those whom He chooses to discover His mercifulness, and for his only Son, with his love that is indescribable in words that constantly envelopes every single Christian family, embraces you, who have been touched by the true faith, the teaching of the Scriptures and the light of the Apostolic Church, amongst those of the Eastern parts of the world who are yet to accept the graces of Christianity.
