Hungarian Tribes Puns

I'm not from the region but the uniqueness of the region made me very curious about the history of the region.

Hungarians settled in the Carpathian basin in between A.D 903-910. By A.D 1000, they became a feudal society.

How were the social classes in this feudal society formed? Did everyone participating in the conquest become rulers of a fiefdom, or did conquerors end up pushing their own people into serfdom?

By Moldovans I mean people of the current country of Moldova and Moldavians, from the historical region which is now also part of Romania.

The Mongols founded a country called "The Golden Horde" around Moldova, so don't Moldovans have Mongol blood in them?

I know Wallachia is made up of Thracians and Illyrians.

Transylvania is said to be populated by Dacians who were later Romanized but that is disputed, last I read somewhere.

People from the country of present-day Hungary are mostly descended from Slavs and Avars. The Hun connection is most prominent in the Szekelys, not in today's Hungary last time I read.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magyarab_people

While I was browsing Wikipedia for information about Egypt and Sudan - the languages, peoples and history specifically - I came across quite a shock on one of the stubs listed under "demographics of Sudan".

This article speaks of a tribe known as the Magyarab, who number about 7000 people and who are apparently descended from Hungarians who married local women, and were aware of their identity as Hungarians prior to modern contact with Europeans (and of course, Hungarians). They are now all muslims and speak arabic, but supposedly retain various Hungarian words in their dialect and Hungarian cultural practices.

>"These people now have a mixed race appearance due to the intermarriage with the local Nubian population and no longer speak the Hungarian language. Around 1934, however, Esch, who spent several weeks with the population of the Magyarab island at Wadi Halfa, put together a list of non-Arabic words used only on that island and which, according to him, were recognized by Almásy as similar to Hungarian words. His notes show that all Magyarab in Wadi Halfa were convinced that their ancestors came from "Nemsa" (the Arabic word for Austria), which might refer to any region of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He was told by the chief of the Magyarab island village that their ancestors arrived in Egypt/Sudan as a group of "Austrian" soldiers led by a man called Shenghal Sendjer, which Esch assumes to be originally General Sendjer or Senger"

Obviously North Sudan isn't necessarily the most visited of locales, what with having a ICC wanted genocidal war criminal as president, but I'm surprised that information on what seems to be a very historically notable tribe is so scarce, which leads me to becoming skeptical. A lot of the sources in the article are from Hungarians and Hungarian newspapers (according to arguments in the Talk page of the article there's a "lost tribe" of Hungarians in the Congo as well), and I am well aquainted with Eastern Europe and Turkey, and their well known pseudo-academic legacy of magical nationalist conspiracy theories.

So I ask you, r/AskEurope , is this fact or fiction? Is there really a lost Hungarian tribe living in the Upper Nile, or is this a load of baloney?

Since I knew about Hungary‘s tribal origins I wanted to know what life was like in the Hungarian Lands near the Carpathians before their settlement there. How were the nomadic tribes structured? How did the nomads settle down?

Which?

tl;dr: I like games. Which games do you own, but you're unsure if you'll keep hold of them?

50. Yu-Gi-Oh! WHY DID I BUY IT: Because of English-dubbed Japanese cartoons edited enough to be in compliance with marketing laws but still aimed towards selling merchandise to impressionable children.

Also because of competitive tournament scene players encouraging a lonely teenager looking for acceptance and something to do on Saturdays to spill their wallet on pricey online cards in hopes of competing.

Later because of being a studious young adult, more price conscious and disappointed in the game deciding to sell, but keeping enough to play the older, nostalgia-laden period of the game.

PLAYS: /0

WHY DID I KEEP IT: I have deep nostalgia for the game. While I didn't watch much of the anime past the first couple of seasons, I remember desiring overpriced, terrible cards on display at my local comic shop and making up stories using the monsters in the starter decks I did have. Kojikocy was the dude!

In my early teens, I went to a local event and got trounced. I picked up enough cards to make a mediocre, but effective anti-meta (1) deck and managed to beat the local who had all the expensive, shiny cards.

I played for a couple of years, through what's later considered one of the best periods of the game, Goat Format, so named after the card Scapegoat, which featured prominently (and despite Scapegoat making sheep, not goats). I made a friend whose still my gaming buddy today and we became the main local players. We went to a few bigger events, but the highly-competitive environment full of rule sharks (2) wasn't something I ever found fun.

I gradually became less interested in playing the game itself, moving onto judging and eventually running my own events, with the help of the local Tournament Organizer at the time.

A few years later, after a period of illness, I dabbled in the game once more for a year or so, before restarting my own gaming group. A local player introduced me to Catan. With Yu-Gi-Oh! quickly falling down the hole of power creep and transitioning into the stilted interaction, Rube Goldberg (3) combo-driven game it is today, I jumped shi

10. Austria (Hungary to Lichtenstein)

Ok number 10 and you’re already probably going this is impossible and yes that’s the point, going through Austria from the Hungarian border to Lichtenstein in a straight line would require you to traverse right through the middle of the alps, think napoleon but without the giant army behind you for all your needs.

9. Papua New Guinea (east coast to Indonesia)

If you’re reading this you’re probably not Indiana Jones but even if you are Papua New Guinea is a thick jungle roughly the size of Spain and even worse the island has many tribes some of them not exactly the friendliest human beings you’d ever meet, draw your line in the wrong place and you might end up being somebody’s dinner.

8. Bhutan (east to west)

Like Austria but in the Himalayas, next.

7. Libya (Egypt to Algeria)

Not only is Libya one of the most unstable countries in the world in recent times but also no matter what route you choose to go one thing stays the same, you will always need to go through the empty wastelands of the sahara desert one of the most inhospitable locations on the planet for humans.

6. South Sudan (Uganda to Sudan)

If you thought I was done with unstable african countries then oh boy you couldn’t be more wrong. South Sudan is a country so dangerous ever since it’s creation that politicians have to literally go around in armored vehicles with bodyguards, if that dosen’t sound dangerous I don’t what is.

5. Iran (Iraq to Afghanistan)

Let’s be honest just getting through Iran’s state policies could have probably made the list by itself but even ignoring those you’d still have to get across multiple mountain ranges including the mighty zagros mountains and through the open desert to ever complete this straight line. Do I really need to say any more.

4. Mongolia (north to south)

What’s worse than a desert, well how about a frozen desert. Getting through Mongolia from north to south would require you to navigate the Gobi desert which can be extremely hot in the daytime and Siberian levels of cold at night.

3. Ontario (Manitoba to Quebec)

The canadian province might seem like a weird choice all the way at number 3 but looking a bit closer on the map and I think you’ll understand my reasoning. First of all we must acknowledge that ontario is huge, the mission would be an estimated distance of at least a thousand kilometers which into perspective is just a little shorter than the route earlie

Hallo, ich bin Demetre aus Georgien, lerne Deutsch und brauche jemanden, der mir helfen kann, ich möchte auf Konversationsebene kommunizieren und üben

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Currently we have:

Aserai=Arabs.

Battania=Celtic, Early Germanic, Thracian tribes.*

Khuzait=Turks and Mongols.*

Empire=Romans (specifically Eastern Rome, however, the civil war is undoubtedly inspired from the crisis of the 3rd century: Rhagaea=Zenobia, Lucon=Tetricus, and Garios=Aurelian).

Sturgia=Kievan Rus (Slavic and Nordic).

Vlandia=Normans.

???Ariana???(Putting a name out there)=Iranian (Persians are Iranians, FYI).

I feel like when the game is complete, TaleWorlds and the playerbase would benefit from an Iranian DLC faction.

First off the Iranians are a distinct people from the Arabs, and the culture and weaponry that would come from an inclusion of an Iranian inspired faction would be great, and add some unique additional diversity to this game we all enjoy.

Case and point: The "Panjagan": A crossbow which is hypothesized to have shot 5 bolts at once. Which was wielded by the Persian Savaran (Knights).

Iranian Cataphracts: It is also noteworthy to include the detail that the Iranians were the first people to develop cataphracts, and the cataphracts of the Sassanians were noted by Roman writers of being able to penetrate two men at once with their lance. The 3.6 meter (12 feet) long Iranian lance could be added with the penalty of it being required to be used with two hands, and not one while on horseback. Thus preventing the player from duel using a shield with lance, making it a high risk-high reward weapon. The most heavily armored cataphracts of the time were the Pushtigban cataphracts which numbered 1,000 strong. The cream of the crop of the Pushtigban were the Gyan-Avspar (sacrificers of their lives) which numbered 100 men. They could be one of the possible pathways for the Iranian noble unit, but more on that later. Weapons: lance, sword, shield, mace.

Iranian Horse Archers: Another noteworthy fact to include is the ability to loose an arrow on horseback at any angle. The famous Parthian Shot was a technique developed by the Iranian peoples who roamed the Central Asian steppe, before the arrival of the Huns (Turks). These people were the Scythians and the Parthians were a part of that group which came into conflict with the Romans who coined the term. Heavily armored like the Pushtigban cataphracts the [Zhayedan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immortals_(Sasan

George Dewey, 22nd President of the United States of America.

Administration:

Vice President: Robert M. La Follette

Secretary of State: Thomas B. Reed (1901-1902 (died)), Grover Cleveland (1902-1905)

Secretary of the Treasury: William F. Vilas

Secretary of War: William O’Connell Bradley

Attorney General: Louis Brandeis (1901 (appointed to the Supreme Court)), Frank D. Jackson (1901-1905)

Secretary of the Navy: Theodore Roosevelt

Secretary of the Interior: William Borah

Postmaster General: Myron T. Herrick

Secretary of Agriculture: Oscar Underwood

Secretary of Labor: Terence V. Powderly

Dewey’s cabinet was a diverse array of political proclivities. Former General Trades Union President and incumbent Secretary of Labor Terence V. Powderly, having served in the Trumbull, Houston, and George cabinets, agreed to serve in a fourth and remain as Secretary of Labor under President Dewey. Maine’s Thomas Brackett Reed was selected to serve as Secretary of State, bringing a conservative and anti-imperialist touch to things that would persist until his death in 1902, whereupon he was replaced with former New York Governor Grover Cleveland, a Liberal recently mired in a scandal involving his sister’s relationship with another woman. William F. Vilas was made Secretary of the Treasury, evidencing the administration’s shift from protectionist Federal Republican orthodoxy.

Anti-prohibitionist Kentucky Federal Republican William O’Connell Bradley was selected to serve as Secretary of War due to the intervention of Mark Twain, who vehemently protested Dewey’s initial intention to appoint Theodore Roosevelt to the post. Nonetheless, Roosevelt was placed at the Naval Department in a gesture of reconciliation to party Houstonians. Louis Brandeis was selected as Attorney General once more, while 35 year old Farmer-Labor Representative William Borah of Idaho was made Secretary of the Interior, a controversial choice publicly opposed by Federal Republican leaders such as William McKinley. Ohio anti-prohibition Federal Republican Myron T. Herrick and Alabama Liberal Oscar Underwood were granted the Postal and Agriculture positions, respectively.

With the politically inexperienced Dewey lacking many connections or legislative acumen, heightened by his belief in a weak executive, his cabinet and Vice President La Follette wielded large

I give you my list for the human fighters (the passing is not necessarily in this order, this is the order of how I selected them) :

1. Boudicca (Date of birth unknown - 60/61 AD) Celtic Queen

The queen of the Celtic Iceni tribe. After her husband's death to the hand of the Roman Empire and her humiliation to the hand of Emperor Claudius, she raised an army of over 230.000 warriors with many other tribes and was responsible for the death of over 80,000 Romans.

>!She died, maybe of suicide, after the battle of Watling Street when her army was beaten by the Romans, while heavily outnumbered, they had discipline and whiped the celts.!<

She was decribed as "very tall, in appearance most terrifying, in the glance of her eye most fierce, and her voice was harsh; a great mass of the tawniest hair fell to her hips; around her neck was a large golden necklace"

I imagine some kind of feral warrior for her, kind of like Lu Bü, especially when we take a look at her description by Dio Cassius, battling with a lance or a small sword and having an impressing aura.

Something interesting about her is the few number of sources about her : only two Roman historians : Dio Cassius and Tacitus, provide records of her. There is no grave, no monument, no representation, and some of their records are contradicting each other.

Her name also mean "Victory". There is also Boudicca from "The Victors Project", if you liked the Hunger Games books, you have to take a look at it.

2. Vlad Țepeș of Wallachia (1428-31 - 1476/1477) Romanian Warlord

As a child, the young prince of Wallachia (in Romania) was sent as an hostage to the Ottoman Empire. After the fall of the Constantinople in 1453 he went back to his birthplace and took the throne by force. He mostly fought the Ottomans around 1462, escpecially during the "Night Attack at Târgoviște" where between 10,000 and 23,000 Turks were killed and impaled during one night. The numbers are variying but hundred of thousand of people died during his wars.

>!He was murdered between december 1476 and January 1477 under mysterious cirumstances, his head being sent to the sultan Mehmed II who impaled it as proof of his death!<

For his fight, maybe I am influenced by the Alucard of Hellsing but I imagine him as his Dracula form at the end of the serie. Also, if you watc
