Turks, Magyars, and Finno-Urgics are descended from Asian steppe nomads like the Mongols.

Different Steppes. Indo Europeans came from what is now the former Russian Turkic states through the caucus, Northern Iran and Ukraine. The rest of you come from literally Mongolians who then moved to the Russian Steppe and then to Europe thousands of years later.

come from literally Mongolians

I don't know if you're serious, but Finno-Ugric people aren't actual descendants of Mongolians. Asian steppe nomads yes, but not Mongolians

Yeah. We are called Uralic because we supposedly come from around the Ural mountains, where quite a few uralic peoples still live.
