Eurasian Avars (1259 words)
Avars were once equated with the Juan Juan resulting in much confusion as the latter have become frequently referred to as Avars.
A connection between the European Avars and the Caucasian Avars and Kabard is severely questioned, but evidence is mounting in favour of the theory that the Avars who settled in Transylvania were only a "pseudo" (Kabar?) portion of other "true" Avars who remained in the Caucasus region under Khazar control.
In the east, the inhabitants of Khwarezmia, recognised as being under the Avars by 410CE, were said to observe a form of Mosaic law (see Sabians) which might explain the apparent Hebrew artefacts found in excavations of their Carpathian basin graves.
Onogur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (376 words)
Onogur or Onoghur (alternative name: Great Bulgaria) was the name of the European Avar state under the rule of the 2nd Avar dynasty, the Bolgar house of Dulo (also Dub or Dubo, of the Unogundur tribe of Bolgars).
The Onogur state became an Avar- Bulgar federation and spanned large areas of eastern Europe, extending from Pannonia to the Kuban in the 7th century.
Little is known of what happened within Avar Onoguri between 685 and 791, but it is certain that reference to the area as Onoguria or Hungary continued among their western neighbours until the name stuck.
