Hungarian (magyar nyelv ) is a
Finno-Ugric language (more specifically an
Ugric language) unrelated to most other languages in
Europe. It is spoken in
Hungary and by the Hungarian minorities in seven neighbouring countries. The Hungarian name for the language is magyar .As one of the small number of modern European
languages that do not belong to the
Indo-European language family, Hungarian has always been of great interest to
linguists. There are about 14.5 million native speakers, of whom 9.5-10 million live in modern-day Hungary. Some two million speakers live in areas that were part of the
Kingdom of Hungary before
World War I. Of these, the largest group lives in
Romania, where there are approximately 1.4 million Hungarians (see
Hungarian minority in Romania). Hungarian-speaking people are also to be found in
Slovakia,
Serbia,
Ukraine,
Croatia,
Austria, and
Slovenia, as well as about a million people scattered in other parts of the world (see Geographic distribution). As with all European languages, there are a few hundred thousand in the
United States as well.
