Yes, I know, it’s really quite fascinating! I have a Finnish friend though, and he can’t understand Hungarian at ALL. Heh.

Oh, and quick note …
Oh, and quick note on the empire: Hungary was its own empire pre-Mongol invasion (I think 1241), and then again until the Ottoman Turks vanquished it at the Battle of Mohacs (1526 if memory serves). After 1683 and the second Siege of Vienna (by the Turks), the Austrians pushed the Ottomans out of Hungary (I believe 1699). The Austro-Hungarian Empire was a dual-monarchy solution in the 19th century to Hungarian nationalism.

I’m simply green …
I’m simply green with envy! Hungary is such a fascinating country with a rich history. Note on the language: you are correct, it is Central Asian, brought in by the Magyars. Hungarian is Uralic, more precisely Finno-Ugric, so it’s at least distantly related to Finnish but unrelated to the Indo-European tongues i.e., Germanic, Slavic, Romance, Celtic etc.

@WorldOfNonsense , …
@WorldOfNonsense , you so-called “romanians” are the biggest shauvinists and fascists out there! You are obviously also suffering from a severe case of amnesia. So I have to remind you that Hungarian Transylvania is “yours” since 1920 when the colonials ripped it out of Hungary and gave it to the treacherous “romanians” for the backstabbing of the germans and hungarians during the last few month of WWI. You “romanians” are well known for these kind of tactics. That is how your country grew…
