new nationalist Textbooks[edit]

Looks like the conservative gov't has sent out 'trial' textbooks to Hungarian teachers with a new origin theory given some weight - that the language was ancestored by the Huns instead of a Finno-Ugric/Uralic background. I see nothing but trouble from this for the Talk Page .... -HammerFilmFan

Of course. However, Hungarian truly belongs to the Uralic family. The Hunnic language was most likely NOT Uralic. It is much more likely to have been either Yeniseian or Turkic. Nationalist authors have been unable to come up with any reliable research that would prove the "Hunnic" theory. 2A02:AB04:2AB:700:F5AF:BD32:6287:7FA (talk) 10:08, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Umlaut[edit]

A discussion has been opened at Talk:Umlaut (diacritic)#Hungarian that editors of this article may be able to resolve. I notice that the statement challenged is also stated in this article and is also uncited. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 10:57, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Section "Word order"[edit]

In the "Word order" section of a language article, I expect to be shown how a sentence works, and not necessarily how a name works. For example, in a normal English sentence the subject is first, then the verb, and then the object (this order is often abbreviated SVO).

It would be helpful to see the proper way to make an ordinary sentence in Hungarian, and it would also be nice to see details like "if the sentence is a question" etc. TooManyFingers (talk) 17:17, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TooManyFingers, I think the word order is free, just speak higher tone and move forward which word is in the focus.

"megyek az állomásra" "I go to station" neutral

"ÉN megyek az állomásra" "I go to the station" emphasizing that I (not you)

"Az ÁLLOMÁSRA megyek" "I go to the station" emphasizing the station, important to where I go OrionNimrod (talk) 17:28, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I hope something like this can be included at the very beginning of the "Word order" section, because it is much more important for understanding how the Hungarian language works, even though the proper form for a person's name is a common problem for English speakers.
