The Severian tribe, always considered East Slavic, may not actually be so. It is possible that it is a Scythian-Avar nation, which can be proven as follows.
The first mention of the Severiane - "Σαύαροι", identified with the Huns, who, in turn, are identified with the Scythians, who, in turn, are identified with the Avars. Thus, the Severiane are Avars, which is confirmed by the construction of the word "Σαύαροι" - "Sa + avari", that is, "the land of the Avars". By the way, the Svans call the Ossetians "savi", and their country - "Saveti". At the same time, they call the Iron Ossetians "saviri".
Avar --> Saavaro --> Savaro --> Savariani --> Severiani
