  • Hello from Japan to all Hungarian people !!! I like Hungary history and study now ❤🇭🇺❤

    Hungarian language is really mysterious and attractive for a Japanese like me. It is written in Latin alphabet but basically the word order is more similar to my native tongue than European languages. I hope more researches will be done and make a progress about its origin. P.S. Thank you Hungarian people for a lot of replies. I learned lots of things that I don't know and understood how Hungarian people are proud of their origins. I've been to Budapest which is a stunning city. It literally overwhelmed me with the beautiful buildings such as Mátyás church. I knew surname comes first and given name comes after as for Hungarian people's name, which is rare in the world and only 4 or 5 east Asian languages follow that order as far as I know. So I was really interested in and have just learnt Hungarian for a month on my own(sorry I forgot most of it) and had a bit strange feeling that I could make a sentence in Hungarian more intuitively than English. Anyway, if comparative linguists discover some more, we will be able to see whether there is some kind of link between both languages. Köszönöm szépen!

    I was born in Austria but my parents are hungarian from the partium region. During my childhood I wasnt really interested in history or my heritage, but the more I grew and spoke to my parents, the more I got hooked in to the history of my ancestors. Hungary has such a vast history that it's hard to comprehend, sometimes I just sit for hours and read historic events that happened during hungarys early history as a kingdom, but it even goes way way back. I've developed such pride my nation I never knew I had. From Magna hungaria to the battle of pressburg (solidifying their position in europe, a goal that many nomad tribes dreamed about) to eventually defeating the mongols/cumans/pecheneggs after many battles and even helping our polish brothers during their invasion, there is just so so much to know about. I have also visited many places with hungarian minorites in other countrys like Szekelyföld in Romania, Kárpátalja in Ukraine and parts in northern Serbia. As soon as the locals see you speak hungarian, they treat you like a long lost brother/sister and that also compliments the one thing my parents always teached me: Even though history in recent times wasn't to gentle with us and we are seperated in many parts of the world we will always be one - "Egy vérből vagyunk!". Thank you for this video!

    Thank you so much for making this. It has made sense of a lot of stuff I was wondering about, having been born in Hungary. The mixture of ethnicities and languages is truly fascinating.
