About the Hungarian Language

The history of the language originated around 1000 BC. The Hungarians call their language Magyar. For the most part the Hungarian language stems from Asia (the Uralic region). The language has also been influenced by various Slavonic languages, as well as by the German language.

Hungarian is part of the Ugrian subgroup of Uralic languages, and so is not part of the Indo-European family tree. Its nearest ‘relatives’ are Finnish and Estonian.
