~ 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 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.

All it takes is listening and a bit of practice
After some practice the pronunciation is not so complicated due to quasi phonetic writing.

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 was in Hungary 16(!) years ago and I felt like everyone was speaking some fantasy language from Tolkien book. :D

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.
My mother's family were ethnic Germans born in Hungary for generations. I grew up hearing German being spoken but then Hungarian when the discussions became serious in nature!

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.

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.
@@obperfected 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.
Hungarians always fascinate me for being so unique in Europe and, so interesting. Greetings from Germany! :)
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
As a Hungarain I loved this video! It is simply an amazing feeling to see not hungarian youtubers making videos about Hungary!
Oh also, hungarian is probably the only language you can curse for hours without saying the same words.
Magyarként nagyon szerettem ezt a videót! Nagyszerű érzés látni , hogy nem magyar videósok készítenek videókat Magyarországról!
Nagyszerű lett a videó ✌️
"Arpad!" - the best part
XD Yes
Like a pokemon saying his own name
Wasn't it Árpád?
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
Wow, I'm really glad someone's dealing with Hungarian because I write English because you understand! Thanks by köszi viszlát.
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.

Oh and i so hate slavic languages... no offense you talk crappy
@@alpakapucuf3394 naw I think its so good
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!
I'm so glad you made this video! I really like it!🇭🇺
Nagyon jó lett a videó!
I am Hungarian ethnic and I must say, you are spot on. Congratulations for an amazing job!
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

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.

Wow, you truly are amazing... I am Hungarian and astonished by the effort you put in our little insignificant country, history and language.
Wow you explained it so well!
Finland loves you Hungary! We are the weirdos in Europe.
We love you back, weirdo brother
We too from Turkey
you are much more than Hungary!!!
In Finland a few hunters made their Altaic language last since thousends of years despite invasion by Caucasians, while Hungary speaks an Altaic language since just a couple of centuries because many Caucasians farmers were conquered by a few Asian hunters
Also estonia

Learning Hungarian is on my bucket list, I'll get to it when I'm Finnished.
Im just saying, dont because its lot of years to learn
Pun intended?
Heh, when it's on your bucket list, better to prepare death and start to learn it or you'll never be able to learn it before die :D
I got the joke tho
To help you it's the major key to learn it. First learn the alphabet for each and every letter and vowel and learn how to pronounce it correctly. If you did it then you can read and try to read out loud words. Then how to make that easy buy sound it out in syllables. This way you learned the rough Part and when you put words together people will make out what you try to say even if your grammar is way off.
i really love how he nailed that "a magyar nyelv" perfectly.

the Hungarian language is not isolated as this video says. it is an ancient language that was not Latinised .such languages in Europe have very little left. after Prussian oppression by Teutonic knights. the Pre Roman languages remain only; Albanian, Scots Gaelic, Hungarian, Basque
