With the exception of the Hungarians, who acquired their Uralic language through elite dominance by the Magyars during recent times (Cavalli-Sforza et al. 1994), all Uralic-speaking populations tested (Finnish, Estonians, Saami, and Mari) show a high frequency of HG 16. However, two nearby populations, the Lithuanians and Latvians, also show HG 16 at high frequency but speak languages of the IE familyfor this lineage at least, the association appears to be geographic rather than linguistic. In the following section, we use methods that summarize variation among all lineages, to examine this issue in more detail.
