Hungarian is the official language of Hungary and one of the 24 official languages of the European Union. Outside Hungary it is also spoken by communities of Hungarian people in neighboring countries—especially in Romania, Slovakia, Serbia and Ukraine—and by Hungarian diaspora communities worldwide. Like Finnish and Estonian, it belongs to the Uralic language family, with its closest relatives being Mansi and Khanty. It is one of the few languages of Europe that are not part of the Indo-European family.
The Hungarian name for the language is magyar [ˈmɒɟɒr] or magyar nyelv ( listen ). The word "Magyar" is also used as an English word to refer to Hungarian people as an ethnic group, or to the language.
Hungarian is a member of the Uralic language family. Linguistic connections between Hungarian and other Uralic languages were noticed in the 1670s, and the family itself (then called Finno-Ugric) was established in 1717, though the classification of Hungarian as a Uralic/Finno-Ugric rather than Turkic language continued to be a matter of impassioned political controversy through the 18th and into the 19th centuries. Hungarian has traditionally been assigned to a Ugric branch within Uralic/Finno-Ugric, along with the Mansi and Khanty languages of western Siberia (Khanty–Mansia region), but it is no longer clear that this is a valid group. When the Samoyed languages were determined to be part of the family, it was thought at first that Finnic and Ugric (Finno-Ugric) were closer to each other than to the Samoyed branch of the family, but this position is currently considered questionable.

During my time studying abroad in Sweden, I befriended a wonderful Hungarian girl named Hajni! I asked her to help me learn some basic Hungarian phrases and this is the result. I gave it the good ol' college try and she didn't laugh too hard at me.

Most people wonder where the Hungarian language comes from but have no idea. Some germans say its a barbaric language which later became germanized. Slavs say its a mongol language that became slavized. Other slavs say Hungarians did not even speak, all the words are from slavic. Some romanians say it is a mixture of daco-romanian and mongol. Turks say its simply a turkic dialect. And last, but not at least the craziest theory is accepted worldwide at present, the finno-ugric. So many theories, without a proveable basis. But let us leave theories behind, and see which languages show grammatical and word similarities. Let us see what kind of writing can be found in the Hungarian language. This video shows facts about the most related writing systems and languages. Enjoy.

After living in Budapest for 9 months and trying to fit in Hungarian study where I could, here's my first long conversation in Hungarian with my friend Bálint, founder and editor of Hungary's top language learning blog "Öt év öt nyelv". Given that my vocabulary is still relatively small, I had to find myself talking around my gaps and trying my best to say what I wanted to say with the words I've got. Bálint helped me now and then, but generally I think this was OK! My Hungarian is still a work in progress, and making this video has given me a boost to carry on learning. http://www.rawlangs.com/ http://www.facebook.com/rawlangsblog http://www.twitter.com/RawLangs_Blog http://www.polyglotworkshops.com
