No. I'm from Hungary, and we call ourselves 'magyar'. In english language (Hungary) and in german language (Ungarn) - and so on- we are known as huns, but we call our country 'Magyarország'. It is a little bit hard to understand, I think it is a mistranslation why european languages call us huns :). For example: some turks call Hungary as 'Madjarsitan'. The huns and the magyars are from Cental-Asia, and we do have a little connection with the mongols, and the turks. And we also know the huns, but there is about 500 years difference between the two nations. The huns came in Europe at the end of the 5th century, and they went back (read the history of Attila the Hun). We came in at the beginning of 9th century. The founding of the sate was in 1001, and this was the time we changed from pagan ritulas to christianity.
