However, the Avar language is classified as a Caucasian language, while the Eurasian Avars are generally considered Mongolic and/or Turkic. Alexander 007 09:40, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As mentioned above, the Pannonian Avars and the Caucasian ones are different peoples, which just happen to have similar sounding names. The Caucasian Avars speak a language related to those of Dagestan and in their language avar means a high-lander, while the Pannonian Avars spoke a Oghuric language and most likely ethnically were a mixture of Uralic, Turkic and Scythian peoples - their other name Var-chonites is a compound of Uar (possibly related to the name of the Ural mountain) and Hunni (with disputed origin). The different pronunciation Avar-Uar can be explained by dialectic variations...
What the heck has that Paul the Deacon quote to do with Bayan Khagan?? The matters Paul relates happened more than SIXTY YEARS LATER than the time when Bayan's reign ended. User:Basil II 21:56, 22 December 2006 (CET)
According to Browning, when the Avars and Slavs (and Persians) sieged Constantinople in 626, it was under the leadership of Khagan Baian. So if he died in 602, how did he, albeit unsuccessfully, siege Constantinople 24 years later? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.98.16.188 (talk) 11:10, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe that information is incorrect or he talks about Bayan II (602-617), although that time frame doesn't seem to match either... --Codrin.B (talk) 12:49, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
