Are Hungarians Khazars?

It is known that the Hungarian tribes at one point were under the supremacy of the Khazars. It is possible that the Hungarian chieftains followed the Khazar religious example since they adopted many Khazar customs. The Khazars were a Turkic people who lived in the region of the Caucasus.

Are Hungarians tall?

Hungarians are not a tall nation, and a tall, thin Hungarian is a rarity: amongst my dozens of Hungarian friends and acquaintances I can only think of one. They are generally shorter than most other European nationalities, and, errrr, plump.

Hungarians are not Slavic. Aside from Austria and Romania, Hungary is surrounded by Slavic nations.
