For what it's worth, the *demonstration* (not merely claim but actual, hard
data) of the relationship between Finnish and Hungarian was presented in a
monograph (written in Latin) by a native speaker of Hungarian, a diplomat who
spent time among the Finns.

The monograph was published in 1752.  That is, it pre-dates the well-known
proclamation of the relationship among Sanskrit, Greek, Latin, Germanic, and
Celtic by Sir Wm. Jones by 34 years.  No reputable linguist questions the
relationship.

Mssrs. Hamori and Chong, of course, are free to do as they wish.

Rich Alderson   You know the sort of thing that you can find in any dictionary
                of a strange language, and which so excites the amateur philo-
                logists, itching to derive one tongue from another that they
                know better: a word that is nearly the same in form and meaning
                as the corresponding word in English, or Latin, or Hebrew, or
                what not.
