Hungarian is thought to be a Finno-Ugric language spoken in Hungary and minorities, about by 15 million people. It is not related to any Indo-European language, and is said to be very difficult to learn.

It can be recognized from its many e-s (pronounced like in the English word let) and the stress: it's always on the first syllable. The alphabet contains 44 letters: 14 vowels and 26 consonants, plus 4 "foreign letters": q, w, x and y.
