===Bristish Israelites===

The identification of the [[Ashkenazite Nation|Sacæ]], or [[Ashkenazite Nation|Scythians]], with the Ten Tribes because they appear in history at the same time, and very nearly in the same place, as the Israelites removed by Shalmaneser, is one of the chief supports of the theory which identifies the English people, and indeed the whole Teutonic race, with the Ten Tribes. Dan is identified sometimes with Denmark, and sometimes with the Tuatha da Danaun of Irish tradition; but the main argument advanced is that the English satisfy the conditions of the Prophets regarding Israel in so far as they live in a far-off isle, speak in a strange tongue, have colonies throughout the world, and yet worship the true God. For further discussion of the argument and the history of its development see Anglo-Israelism.

===Nestorian "Huns"===

In 1835 Asahel Grant was appointed by the American Board of Foreign Missions to pursue his calling among the Nestorians of Mesopotamia. He found among them a tradition that they were descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes, a tradition which had already been gathered by Smith and White during their earlier mission ("Researches in Armenia," vol. ii.). He found also among the Jews of the neighborhood of Urumiah recognition of this tradition, which he considered to be confirmed by the following facts: they dwelt in the neighborhood to which the Israelites were originally deported, while Josephus declared that the Ten Tribes lived beyond the Euphrates up to his time ("Ant." xi. 5, § 3), and his statement is confirmed by Jerome ("Opera," vi. 780); their language is a branch of the Aramaic; they still offer sacrifices and first-fruits like the ancient Israelites, and they prepare for the Sabbath on the preceding evening; they have Jewish names and Jewish features. Other similarities of custom are recorded by Grant ("The Nestorians, or the Lost Tribes," New York, 1845).

Whether as a result of missionary efforts from the Nestorians among them or not, the Khvaris and proto-Turkic [[Huns]] of Central Eurasia are claimed by [[Turanian Karaites]] to have been the descendants of the Ten Tribes of Israel settled among the [[Ashkenazite Nation|Sacæ]] in Scythia by Cambyses. The Shah of Khvarezm was about to be converted to the Karaite faith when his brother brought the Umayyads into Xorezm and the Karaites were forced to flee to the On-Oq for refuge. The Karaite survivors managed to make some progress in converting the Christianized Turks and Sebomenoi Huns of Crimea where they were allowed to settle.

There are many reasons to believe that Hun descent from the Ten Tribes of Israel is in fact a genuine possibility, rather than just the result of missionary efforts to convert them to Abrahamic faith. The Turkic tribes believed in One God in Heaven called Tengri which itself is derived from the Sumerian word for God Dingir. They also revered Customary Old Turkic Tribal Laws called Tura which resembled Torah. They organised themselves into Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Hordes around their spiritual leader called a Kaghan just as the tribes of Israel were arranged around their spiritual leader called a Kohen. Their spiritual leaders had to go through a trial involving struggle with a divine being and ascending a ladder into heaven and a change of name, just as Jacob did in order to become Israel. They worshipped i times of need under Terebinths (Oak trees) just as Abraham did and the Israelites under Moses at mamre before the tabbernacle was constructed. Most significant was that their tribe of Shimoin believed that their were descendants of the tribes of Simeon while their tribe of Ashmal beieved that they were Ishmaelites. Thus whether a fact or not descent from Abraham became a cherished belief among them. The Majority belong to the Levite Y-DNA Haplogroup R1a. The most popular names for the Huns such as Hun-Ugori, Onogur, On-Oq (all terms designating the Western Turkic Gahanate) all mean literally "Ten Tribes", and the abreviation Hun or On means simply "The Ten".

====India & Burma====

G. Moore, indeed, attempts to prove that the high-class Hindus, including all the Buddhists, are descendants of the [[Ashkenazite Nation|Sacæ]], or [[Ashkenazite Nation|Scythians]], who, again, were the Lost Ten Tribes. He transcribes many of the Indian inscriptions into Hebrew of a wonderful kind to prove this contention. Buddhism, according to him, is a fraudulent development of Old Testament doctrines brought to India by the Ten Tribes. The Kareens of Burma, because of their Jewish appearance, their name for God ("Ywwah"), and their use of bones of fowls for divination purposes, are also identified by him and by Mason as descendants of the Lost Tribes.
