<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''Madjars''' or '''Madi-yar people''' are a Turkic ethnic group in [[Kazakhstan]]. They number about 1,000–2,000 and live mostly in the [[Kostanay Region]]. The Madjars have been linked [[onomastic]]ally to the [[Magyars]] (Hungarians) in Europe by proponents of [[Hungarian Turanism]] like Zsolt András Biró.<br />
<br />
This claim is contested by Turkologist scholar Imre Baski, who translate Madjar as 'faithful Muslim'.<br />
<br />
{{Quotation|Imre Baski Turkologist:<br />

"Madi-yar that proved to be a compound anthroponym (Madi[y]-yar) of Arabic-Persian origin. The paper also provides the explanation of the anthroponyms Aldi-yar (’Allah’s friend/follower’) and Ḫudi-yar (’God’s friend/follower’), the “relatives” of Madi(y)-yar (’Muhammad’s friend/follower’)".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.nytud.hu/nyk/107/03%20baski.pdf|title=A kazak madijar nemzetségnév és a magyar népnév állítólagos közös eredetéről|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=|access-date=23 January 2017}}</ref>}}<br />

Like the Magyars, the Madjars have been linked genetically to [[peoples of the Caucasus]], modern [[Iranian peoples|Iranians]] and the neighbouring [[Argyn]] people: 86.7% of 45 samples of Y-DNA belonged to [[haplogroup G (Y-DNA)|Haplogroup G]].<ref name="Biro 2009">{{cite journal |author=Biro, A. Zalan, A., et al., |title=A Y-Chromosomal Comparison of the Madjars (Kazakhstan) and the Magyars (Hungary) |journal=American Journal of Physical Anthropology |volume=139 |issue=3 |pages=305–10 |year=2009 |pmid=19170200 |doi=10.1002/ajpa.20984 |url=}}</ref> The biggest problem with Bíro's focus on Haplogroup G, that it is considered very rare in Hungary (around 3%). However it has much higher ratio in Southern Europe like Italy, and in Western Europe like France, but even Southern German populations have higher ratio of Haplogroup G than the Hungarian population.<ref>http://www.eupedia.com/europe/european_y-dna_haplogroups.shtml</ref><br />
