Hungarian language. 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 neighbouring countries (especially in Romania, Slovakia, Serbia and Croatia), and by Hungarian diaspora communities worldwide. Like Finnish and Estonian, it belongs to the Uralic language family, its closest relatives being Mansi and Khanty.
Hungarian alphabet. For the non-Latin script descended from Old Turkic, see Old Hungarian script. The Hungarian alphabet is an extension of the Latin alphabet used for writing the Hungarian language. One sometimes speaks of the smaller and greater (or extended) Hungarian alphabets, depending on whether or not the letters Q, W, X, Y are listed, which can only be found in foreign words and traditional orthography of names.
