Madjars

The Madjars are an ethnic group in Kazakhstan. They number about 1,000–2,000 and live mostly in the Kostanay Region. The Madjars have long been linked onomastically to the Magyars (Hungarians) in Europe.

Like the Magyars, the Madjars have been linked genetically to peoples of the Caucasus, modern Iranians and the neighbouring Argyn people: 86.7% of 45 samples of Y-DNA belonged to Haplogroup G.^[1]
