Ugric languages

Ugric languages or Ugrian languages are generally held to be a branch of Finno-Ugric languages.

They include three languages: Hungarian, and the Ob-Ugric Khanty (Ostyak) and Mansi language (Vogul). Their common Proto-Ugric language was probably spoken from the end of the 3rd millennium BC until the first half of the 1st millennium BC, in Western Siberia, east from the southern Ural mountains.
