As far as I know, no one knows for sure whether he was Turkic or Mongolian. The Hunnic language was scarcely recorded, and not even by the Huns at that.
Contemporary descriptions of Attila describe him as possessing an Inner Asian appearance. >He was a man born into the world to shake the nations, the scourge of all lands, who in some way terrified all mankind by the dreadful rumors noised abroad concerning him. He was haughty in his walk, rolling his eyes hither and thither, so that the power of his proud spirit appeared in the movement of his body. He was indeed a lover of war, yet restrained in action, mighty in counsel, gracious to suppliants and lenient to those who were once received into his protection. Short of stature, with a broad chest and a large head; his eyes were small, his beard thin and sprinkled with grey; and he had a flat nose and tanned skin, showing evidence of his origin.
There are no primary sources but there is a secondary source that describes him having tiny eyes and swarthy skin. Pretty indicative that he's from somewhere in the russian steppe. Like turkic or Mongolian. Now Mongolians didn't become a thing until much later. So I'd assume they were turkic that went west after losing to China.
Attila’s native language (“Hunnish”) would have belonged to its own language family, called Hunnic. The Hunnic languages were related to Turkic languages, together forming the Hunno-Turkic language family. Modern Chuvash, which is oftentimes wrongly included within the Turkic classification, is the last surviving remnant of a Hunnic language.
>Attila’s native language (“Hunnish”) would have belonged to its own language family
eh, I would disagee. Even though Hun were a distinct group (also known as Huna, Xion and Xiongnu) they had a connected origin with Turkics and Yenisey people. Hunnic was probably a Yeniseian language under Turkic and Para-Mongolic influence.
Attila’s Hunnish was related to Chuvash, both being Hunnic languages. The core language of the Xiongnu was a similar Hunnic language. We can still trace it as a substrate in modern Mongolic languages. And it was NOT Yeniseian. There is absolutely no evidence or trace of any Yeniseian substrate from the Xiongnu period in any of the regional languages. It is wholly absurd and laughable.

how would we even know something like this? from the three "hunnic" words from Priscus, which btw sound more slavic than anything else?

Yes and no. Early Turkic speakers seem to have been Caucasian the got gradually more mongoloid through intermarriage with Chinese brides then those who migrated to Turkey became more Caucasian again through intemarriage with local Anatolians/Armenians/Greeks and later Balkanic imports..
Im not turkish you moronic idiot and i didnt even say anything that advantage the turks
The turks have like 0-5 % turkic DNA but the original turks were hapas
They were the rapebabies of IE nomads who raped siberian/altaic girls

according to all historical accounts, huns were clearly mongs. they succeeded for the same reason all barbarians succeed
civilization saps men's virility
At the time Attila became king, Huns were mixed culturally (probably in genetics too) with Scythians and Goths. Probably Attila looked like a Caucasian rather than looking Mongolian.

He speak Vandals-Gothic and Alan too
Turk people were mongoloids anyways.Think Uyghurs. Modern Turkish people have almost nothing in common with them phenotypically.
