- Why is Hungarian so isolated in Europe, surrounded by unrelated languages that don't share its long words? An animated linguistic take on the history and grammar behind Hungarian's uniqueness.

~ Spoiler Alert! ~
I couldn't ignore the many commenters who've pleaded with me to give Hungarian a shot. After gathering up some grammars and purchasing Lendvai's history, The Hungarians, I see why! I just had to share this linguistic tale.
This video tells two stories that intertwine. First, how Hungarian got to be such a lonely language island among Indo-European languages. Second, how Hungarian uses a long-word-building strategy that's "foreign" in a European context: agglutination with vowel harmony. At the end, the two come together as linguists trace its words back to a common ancestor called Uralic. The Uralic family explains Hungarian's uniqueness, but also its distant relations to Finnish and Estonian within Europe and its closer shared prehistory with Uralic languages in Russia that suggest a long, long, LONG migration from Siberia!
I cut an observation from the video that I wish to add here. "Agglutination" is abnormal in Europe, but that could have more to do with a quirk of Indo-European than Uralic. "Agglutinative" languages aren't rare around the world, and even other families like Turkic have vowel harmony. Compare that European-style "fusional" types.
I am not Hungarian - check and correct. That said, I poured into this every last ounce of the time I spent practicing the language.

Holy. how can one learn this language, does it take 15 years to be fluent, wow.
Also to any Hungarians who read this, Aloha from Hawaii.
in german we also have the cases, which we add on to the words, and we also can put words together into literally infinitely long new words...
more than 15 years to be exact. I have a friend who's mother arrived to hungary 30 years ago. She still breaks here and there with the grammar.
I don't think you can actually speak fluently hungarian if you're foreign

I really like how he pronounces the words almost perfectly. That's very rare.
I wouldn't go that far; he has a noticeable accent (for example, the e's in "ember" are too short and too closed), but yes, he's doing an outstanding job, especially for someone who probably doesn't speak the language at all.
I think the "á" parts lacking a bit but except dat ye
I would say almost perfect but yeah.... It's rare
All it takes is listening and a bit of practice
After some practice the pronunciation is not so complicated due to quasi phonetic writing.

Just add the word "bazdmeg" to any sentence and all Hungarian will understand it.
Well, yes, but certainly when I was a child I never heard it. No one in my family swore like that. But in Toronto, in a doctor's waiting office, I head people speaking Hungarian and one of them referred to that part of a horse's anatomy which is also used as swearing. I was so surprised that I asked "who said that?"It turned out to be the doctor I was waiting to see, and I heard him chuckle to another man --both in white lab coats--and say "This is how it is when a Hungarian is in the office. I found the an uncombed, not wanting to listen, looking as though he stole the lab coat, and he had an empty face. That was first and last visit, and not because of the swearing. It was his whole attitude.

As a Finn I am waiting "when is the weird complex stuff coming"?
When I was on an Erasmus exchange in Finland, one of my professors told us why Hungarian and Finnish were similar. There once was a group of nomads that travelled through Europe. They once saw a signpost reading "to the south you will find great climate, good wines and plenty of peoples to pillage". Some of the nomads could read, and they became known later as Hungarians XD
When the Finns and Hungarians split apart on the way to Europe, the Finns took the vowels and the Hungarians the consonants.
try to communicate with finns who speak like "aa juu kyllähä mä ymmärrä to iha kokonaa ku minä oon tämmöne tietäjä joka tullee pätemmää joka heleveti asiaa" :DDDDDDDDDDD
At least Hungarian isn't a Choisan language.
If your professor really did say Hungarian and Finnish are similar, (s)he was ignorant or possibly plain stupid. Hungarian and Finnish are not similar at all. Related, yes, but not similar.
It seems as though learning Russian may be a walk in the park compared to learning Hungarian.

Tell me about it! They must feel powerful with that language. Eine unmögliche sprache!!
Hungarian here,
My family is Hungarian but we live in german and there is a shocking amount of Hungarians here tbh
Also thanks :3
Das ist voll nett von dir! Ich bin auch Ungarin, aber ich wohne in Deutschland seit paar Jahren. 😊 Mich täte es interressieren, wie die ungarische Sprache sich für fremde Ohren anhörr. Ich kann halt alles verstehen, so macht es kein Spass zuzuhören. 😄 Sonst, vielleicht ist die ungarische eine schöne Sprache, aber vollkommen nutzlos, da nur wenige Leute sie verstehen können. 😄 Ich beneide eher die Engländer, dass sie mit einer Weltsprache geboren sind.
Thank you in the name of Hungary
Also Germany is really cool ^w^
Germany and hungary has a history together but usualy hungary dont make it to historycal class in school love from hungary btw XD
I’m Polish and I love the sound of Hungarian!
@@akif160 xdddd, csak rá ne keressen Google fordítón lol
Btw I'm Hungarian and I LOVE the sound of Polish
@@zoltankiss1533 XD ja
Oh and i so hate slavic languages... no offense you talk crappy
@@alpakapucuf3394 naw I think its so good
Wow, you truly are amazing... I am Hungarian and astonished by the effort you put in our little insignificant country, history and language.
Thank you for this video.❤️🤍💚
Just one small suggestion, when you are talking about the Carpathian Basin, you should show the old map of the Hungarian Kingdom.
I'm Romanian and I love Hungary just like my own country! Greetings Hungary! :)
CyndusSky esti un foarte bun om bro 🙌🏻
well romania used to belong to hungary so
@@k9_adventuresandtraining108 no, you are wrong. Romania didn't use to belong to Hungary. :D But please, nobody is talking about politics.
sandy the dog romania is independent. romania is eastern romance country, unique, meanwhile hungarians come from mongolia and northern china desert and sinkiang.
XDDDD
Oh, Hungarian... I was more ready for your grammar than your sounds. May my art make up for any pronunciation quirks!
NativLang Please do one historical video of the german lenguage
Don't worry, you did pretty well with the pronanciation.
Nagyon ügyes voltál ;)
Do you have plans to make videos on Dravidian languages?
The other thing is that you can dare to pronounce vowels with an open mouth. We usually talk slower to sound out vowels in a more understandable way. (Which makes dubbing movies hard, because everyone else already said a whole word while we pronounce one syllable.) We also try to sound out every sound, we don't drop H in otthonok for example.
Oh, did my first comment not went through? So, the "first" thing I tried to comment was that the only big problem I hear about your pronounciation is that in Hungarian the accentuation in a word always falls on the first syllable.
As a Hungarian I appreciate very few things about my country's history, but my (our) language is one of the most beautiful gifts it has to offer. It is versatile, logical (although admittedly very unconventional for foreigners) and has it's own set of rules which can be bent for convenience. There are hundereds of ways to compose the same sentence which writers and musicians can exploit as a tool. How you speak Hungarian represents a bit of who you are!
I'm so glad you made this video! I really like it!🇭🇺
Nagyon jó lett a videó!
As long as there are Poles, Hungarians are never alone! ;p
Przemysław Kozieł ♥
i wish all poles knew about our friendship :D
It's a well known fact in Poland, don't worry :) Last time when I was in city where I studied there was even an event about Budapest 1956 - radioszczecin.pl/index.php?idp=1&szukaj=&s=47&idx=346673 It's in polish but you can translate in using by web browser(although translation is... mediocre at best :>) But that's just one instance, pretty much everybody in Poland know "Polak Węgier dwa bratanki i do szabli, i do szklanki"(Lengyel, magyar - két jó barát, együtt harcol, s issza borát - sorry if it is not correct I just pasted it as I don't know hungarian). It's a really beautiful history between our nation, there were so many wars, and suffering in our region of world and yet two nation were bonded by friendship that lasted for centuries.
Przemysław Kozieł yeah i know about 1956 and its amazing. Too bad our friendship couldn't continue after 1525 couldn't continue after our king wladislav died and the hapsburgs took us over :(
I was born in Hungary but I’ve been living in the US since I was like 6 months old. Anyways, I didn’t speak Hungarian until I was like 7, and I’m not kidding when I say that the grammar is just too different. The way the sentences are structured and how you connect comparative phrases... whew if you would learn Hungarian as an adult, I’d buckle up cause it’s a very difficult language...
Viszont azt szeretem a legjobban a magyarba hogy tényleg nem lehet úgy káromkodni angolul mint magyarul. Meg furcsa volt látni sok magyart a kommentekbe mert nem nagyon szoktam nézni magyar videókat (a komédián kívül)
Üdvözlök mindenkit :)
Aaron Zihoczky nagyon jól beszélsz magyarul! egyébként magyar is vagy valamennyire vagy csak itt születtél?:)
evdzsie igen a szüleim Magyarországon nőttek fel. Én Magyarországon születtem, viszont Amerikába nőttem fel és a szüleim keresztül tanultam meg magyarul
a magyarBAN, a kommentekBEN, AmerikáBAN
Holló Lédeczi ahhh a ragokkal mindig bajlódom. Soha nem tudtam őket meg különböztetni :/
Nyilas Karod oh for sure. It’s a very
Complex language and it has so many different variables of sentence structures. You can say the same sentence in so many ways. You can switch around the words and add different endings to them and it’ll still be the same sentence. It’s almost like having infinite possibilities. Knowing the Hungarian language also opens up doors for us to be able to speak and learn other languages quicker than average.
Wow you explained it so well!
Finally a video about my language that is funny, short and educational at the same time so I can show it to my American friends! Thank you so much!!
As a Finn I've always looked for an excuse to learn this language. It's fun seeing foreign language that does things Properly, and not like those darn indoeuropean languages you find in every cornershop. We need more cases and more agglutination
Finns do it the proper way. I have an Estonian friend, he learned our Hungarian language in half a year, practically perfectly (here in the land). Yeah, he makes some mistakes when he follows the common logic where the language makes an exception.
Haha, true enough! It is very precise on who is doing the action, or whose "hat" this is, etc. Yes, a unique language. There were other agglutinative languages in antiquity, say, Sumerian, and who knows what others.
@@gfarkas123 Oh I am a Hungarian-born expat and I make mistakes in my mother tongue all of the time, bazdmeg.
@@elsiesrifle Korean language also.
@James Smith It is unfortunately the lingua franca of the world. I would forget about it if I could, but unfortunately I can't.
Hungarian: *talks about trees *
Every human who can talk English: *laugh heavily*
Tat's okay as long as they don't say the word wooden spoon ! lol.
@@Gabor.P. fakanál
@@mgy1438 Bingo.
Wood circle in hungarian is fakör
Pronounced as fucker ;)
Fakanál is pronounced as fuckanal and means wooden spoon
I love how you prounced the words it was really great better than most tourists.
I visited Hungary 2 years ago and just fell in love with the country. Will be going back.
Hungarians, you are not alone! Love from Bulgaria! : )
Restore the stepp culture I dont like the post-Kievi east-eu and Balkán. From hungary. :-)
Balkan culture is quite good!
i"ve met a bulgarian boy during my college years - we"ve taked long during evenings with lot of curiosity
about each others unknown culture , more decades later in emigration i"ve met a bulgarian girl living
abroad and surprised me her curiosty to ask the teacher to explain the things abot Gurdieff in greater
detail greetins Bro from a Hungarian in Northern Carpats .
It seems we were very close, neatly one people, since time immemorial. We fought with China and moved west to Europe together, and at that time we must have spoken a similar oghuric language, but nowasays our languages are torally different. Although with many turan words, today Bulgarian language is in the group of Slavonic languages!
@我是fraçias fro the Northern Karpats recently iIKNOW THAT Many cultureds

Now, im a simple Pole, i see Hungary you know the rest
Polak Weiger dwa bratanki! Greeting from Hungary brother
We still hold the tradition and moral against the globalist sick west. We both suffered from the same enemies in history and right now. Together we can survive this insane ideology war.
You click ^^ heheh greetings from Hungary
I think the only hope if we leave the Eu. I have no family, so I'm buying a sailboat and go away from this madness to Asia.
Lengyel magyar két jó barát. Együtt issza egymás borát.

Annyira örülök, hogy valaki csinált egy ilyen videót. 😁 Leginkább azért, mert foglalkoznak a mi kis országunkkal is. 😂
I am a simple Pole, I see Hungary, I click 🇵🇱❤️🇭🇺
I visited Hungary in December 2019...such a beautiful country with nice people. Üdvözlet Oroszországból 🇭🇺🇷🇺
We are love your country too.
и тебе привет из Венгрии :)

Omg! I like Russia so much! But... I wasn't there... But I'm so glad!
Im from Hungary and
I'm a simple Polish man
I see Hungary, i press like and say "Polak, Węgier, dwa bratanki"
Lengyel-magyar két jó barát, együtt harcol s issza borát, vitéz s bátor mindkettője, áldás szálljon mindkettőre

dadziokPL magiars are slavic enemies!!!
why?
Mr.warlaci Gott mit uns!
@Simon K. There are no enemies in Europe, we are one big family.
Omg, i'm Hungarian and it was funny when you talked in English and suddenly I heard a Hungarian word, but otherwise your pronunciation was almost perfect, with a few exceptions❤
This is such a great video. I never thought about our language from a foreigner's perspective. It is indeed very different from the languages of our neighbors.
The Hungarians aren't alone, they have us Poles ;) Czesc mezczyzni I kobiety.
Lets drink some wine ay?
:) ❤️
@@sued_ és a pálinka???
@@zoltankiss1533 Az is jó de a bor a formálisabb
Poles are Slavic traitors, worked together with Hungarians/Austrians against Ukrainians and South Slavs.
Seems like a logical language. I like it and I like the way it sounds.
Then start to learn it! :D It will be tough tho but if you once understand the logic of it, it will be fun
I'd say, to me speaking english is like using building blocks, easy to handle, effective. Hungarian is like veawing a tapestry. Tat's how it feels kinda. i love both languages.
1234kalmar A similar comparison I read that compared English to Turkish, said that English was like a dry stone wall, whereas Turkish was like a brick wall held together with grammatical "mortar".
Celine StClair Would you like to hear about vowel and consonant harmony?
Congratulation to your talent in noticing the natural logic of Hungarian! Start with simple basics my friend, I'm happy to teach you!
Привет венграм и ясам Венгрии из Алании-Кавказа!!!
Excellent presentation! I knew that Hungarian isn’t quite like anything else in Europe (dittoes Finnish), but didn’t know the full “why” behind the uniqueness!
