Attila the Hun was Mongolian or Turkic?

Answer 1

The origin of the European Huns has been the subject of debate for centuries; however, it can be said with general agreement that they were a confederation of Eurasian tribes, most likely of diverse origin with a Turkic-speaking aristocracy, who appeared in Europe in the 4th century.

Answer 2

Attila was Hun. Huns used to live what is known today as Mongolia and their language from the linguistic point of view was Turkic. Short answer would be, yes he was Turkic, no he was not Mongolian(Mongolia as a country did not existed at the time of Attila).

Answer 3

Of course. Attila was Mongolian. According to Gothic history, those Huns were short, sturdy and had dark straight hair. I do not see any Turkish people who matches these physical traits.Those Huns migrated from Mongolia to Eorope for 2 hundred years. Yes, they mixed with some Persian, Turkish, Slavs and Germans. But originally, they were Mongols.

Neither. While we do not know the precise ethnic origin of Attila, or we do not have many anthropological studies of the Huns' aristocracy, we do know that they originated in central Asia at present day Kazakhstan. The drying of the central Asia caused various nations to migrate, in which one group moved westward toward Europe and was a primary cause behind the mass migration in the late Antiquity. Huns were clearly central Asian origin due its culture, armory, and lifestyle. Scythians predate Huns by almost millennium and lived about 1000 miles west of the Huns' ancestral lands. Huns created a conglomerate of various tribal nation, which was closely associated with the ruling family. Huns empire collapsed soon after Attila's death. Hungarians have their origin in upper Volga along the Ural mountains where related nations still exist. Hungarians ancestors were Magyars, who first time appeared in Europe around 864 and in 904 crossed Carpathian mountains to settle in a central Danube. There is no whatsoever indication that Magyars and Huns were related. Its association is a medieval invention by western geographers. All nations neighboring Hungary refers to it as Magyarország - land of the Magyars. Mongols had origin even further east than Huns ans appeared in eastern Europe 800 years after Attila. While it is possible that Huns and Mongols shares the same ancestry, Attila was not Mongol.

Answer 5

Wow! No one knows the truth. It's so amazing.

Attila the Hun was definitely Turkic, and he is probably the ancestor of many Tatars (not Tartars!) today. The Tatar people and their ancestors, who include Bulgars, and more than a touch of Mongol ancestry were very mobile and travelled back and forth across Asia and Eastern Europe. They also mixed with other Europeans, including the Marie people (who are related to the Finns). Attila was not Mongol and we don't know where he is burried.
Most people know nothing about the history of the Turkic people, for a number of reasons. The first one is political. The Romans gave the Tatars a bad rap, and wrote biased history. The Russians slaughtered 15,000+ people (almost all women and children) at the Seige of Kazan 500 years ago. They have oppressed and persecuted the Tatars and other Turkic minorities ever since. Still, whether they wan to admit it or not, their ancestry is all mixed up with Tatar blood. The next reason is that Russians systematically tried to destroy the language, the cultural identity, the religion, the history and writings of the captured Turkic nations.
Famous Tatars today include: Marat Safin and Nikolai Khabibulin.

Addition: My husband is reminding me that when we went to visit Hampton Court (a royal palace/museum outside of London) we bought a guidebook that lists the ancestry of the Queen of England, and Attila IS listed as oneof her ancestors.

Answer 6

Attila the Hun (405–453), also sometimes known with the nickname as Attila the Scourge of God (Flagellum Dei) or simply Attila was the most powerful king of the Huns.

He reigned over what was then Europe's largest empire, from 434 until his death. His empire stretched from Germany and the Netherlands to the Ural river and from the Danube River to Poland and Estonia. During his rule, he was among the most dire of the Western and Eastern Roman Empire's enemies: he invaded the Balkans twice and besieged Constantinople in the second invasion; he marched through Gaul (modern day France) as far as Orleans before being defeated at the Battle of Chalons; and he drove the western emperor Valentinian III from his capital at Ravenna in 452. He was regarded as sacker of cities.

Though his empire died with him and he left no amazing legend, he has become a legendary figure in the history of Europe. In much of Western Europe, he is remembered as the epitome of cruelty and rapacity. In contrast, some histories lionize him as a great and noble king, and he plays major roles in three Norse sagas.

Answer 7

Atillia The Hun

Answer 8

The Huns were one of the nomadic tribes in the central Asia.

The ruler of the Huns, Modun Shanyu, united the tribes together and founded the Hunnu empire, which forced the Chinese to build the Great Wall.

Around the 2nd century, for some reason(internal conflicts, new tribe domination etc), they traveled to the present Hungary and settled there. (the white Huns)

So Attilla the Hun probably was one of the white Huns.

I really do not know why people think Atilla was a Turkish.

Actually I think he was just an Europian with a little bit Hun blood in him.
