To the word ordu, the search function didn't reveal any result.

Hmm you had asked me somewhere to give Turkic etymologies of several Hunnic words in one of the threads and I had done that. I just don't remember which thread it was.

Anyway; Ordu is clearly a Turkic word.

Too early to say Hunnic language was ET.

2011 was a significant year for Hunnic study, history and legacy. Mongolia gave much importance and celebrated its 2220 anniversary of the first Hunnic State and declared as the First Mongolian Formal State.

I'm not historian, linguist and archaeologist. I only read.

2011 Mongolian archaeological team excavated one of the Shanyu's tomb in central Mongolia (Gol mod, Arkhangai province) and discovered lot of findings, even though the tomb was looted soon after its erection. They found sculls, golden ornaments on the coffin (moon and sun, and lattice like figures), most interestingly the clothes!!!.
After many lab researches on Hun sculls, they came to a conclusion that the most (90 percent) of dead were Siberian mongoloid face structure (I want to make a difference from chinese looking mongoloids. Very funny, that all asians are somehow mongoloid. But real Mongols are totaly different in appearance!)! Some Caucasian and European sculls are also found. It means people were able to move along the Eurasian lands. The majority of Huns were real Mongol looking nomads!

Among the findings are old Greco-roman god figures and even Egyptian God Bes!

So far, very reliable source of the Hunnic language is found! Even today, Mongolian has only 30 percent of its original lingual words, and very influenced by Tibetan, chinese and manchu since their cultural and historical relations and I bet the same as in Turkic by Persian and Arabic.

May be, Turkic and Mongolian share 30 percent of their Lexicon. That must be the language which was spoken by the early nomads!

OOPS! SO FAR, SOURCE IS NOT FOUND.

IMHO, clarity of the topic would be increased if the word "Hunnic" were reserved for European Huns and "Xiongnu" for Asian Huns.
