Hunnic language is the Altaic language, related to Turkish, that was spoken by the Huns.
The European Huns had some Germanic and Sarmatian in their language due to the contacts with the Goths, Gepids and Alans.
The Huns were allied with the Magyars (Hungarians), but they were eventually assimilated without many traces in the Hungarian language (which has a completely different origin).
The language was probably close to the language spoken by Volga Bulghars (see: Bulghar language).
