Regular sound correspondences between Hungarian and other Uralic languages a different fashion. (Again, with the help of the other Uralic languages, the analogous developments *mp *ŋk → Hungarian /b g/, Finnic /mp ŋk/ could be supported.) Two different regular correspondences can be found in Hungarian for Finnish and Estonian . The first is Hungarian : The second is Hungarian zero: These two correspondences represent two different original consonants. : is reconstructed as originating in Proto-Uralic *ś, while ∅ : is reconstructed as Proto-Uralic *s. Both correspondences can be seen simultaneously in the word for "autumn" (see above under *-k-), from Proto-Uralic *sükśi. Examples also include 'bit', 'to fear', 'cloud',
Indo-Uralic languages most of the supporters of a relationship between Indo-European and Uralic have also supported their relationship to additional language families, leading some to regard Indo-Uralic as a subset of the larger Nostratic hypothesis.

The Dutch linguist Frederik Kortlandt supports a model of Indo-Uralic in which the original Indo-Uralic speakers lived north of the Caspian Sea, and the Proto-Indo-European speakers began as a group that branched off westward from there to come into geographic proximity with the Northwest Caucasian
