Scythian origins (Ashkenaz) have been claimed for numerous modern peoples of Europe and Asia:

  • Irish / Scottish: tradition of Gaelic speech / ogam writing being invented by Fenius Farsa (many variant spellings) in "Scythia" a few years after the Tower fell. Name 'Scot' said to derive from 'Scythians' who migrated via Spain.
  • Welsh: traditionally descended from Gomer (Cymru), father of Ashkenaz.
  • French: Franks' king-line traced through the Sicambri to the Cimmerians
  • Teutonic peoples: traditions of certain foundational Germanic groups (besides the Franks) to Scythia, notably the Saxons (< Sacae?) and Cimbri (< Cimmerians?). Saxons, in A-S Chronicle, said to have returned to 'Scythia' (mainland) for reinforcements when invading Britain. Original homeland of English - 'Angul' or 'Ongul' (a place in Denmark) ("the Oghgul race" in Nennius). Coincidentally, 'Ongul' sounds like the name of numerous other peoples of likely Scythian descent - stretching east even to Korea.
  • Hungarians: name 'Hungary' thought to drive from 'Onogurs'. Traditions speak of descent from Scythians, as well as Magor and Hunor; some old chronicles indicate these two are sons of Japheth (Magor = Magog; Hunor possibly 'Gomer'?).
  • Serbs / Croats: assimilated Slavs, but descendants of the Sarmatians who were apparently a hybrid of Scythians.
  • Bulgarians / Macedonians: assimilated Slavs, but ancestors were latest wave of Turkic peoples to settle in Europe from the steppes.
  • Turkic peoples: Nearly all branches are 'Oghuz'; likely connection to 'Ashkuza' or 'Ishguz' - Assyrian names for Scyths. Other branches include Kazakhs (Saks) and the Siberian people still known as Sakha (the Yakuts).
  • Ossetians
  • Jat people of Punjab, India.
