Hungarian is unrelated to most European languages and only remotely related to Finnish and Estonian. Hungarian was used along with Latin and German in the records of all areas of the old kingdom of Hungary before 1918. This includes present-day Hungary, Slovakia, southwestern Ukraine, western Romania, Serbia, Croatia and the easternmost part of Austria. To read Hungarian records in these languages, use the Latin Genealogical Word List (34077) and German Genealogical Word List (34067). In addition, the Hungarian language may be found in the records of Hungarian communities in the United States, Canada, and other areas settled by Hungarians.
The [[Media:WLHungarian.pdf|Hungarian Genealogical Word List]] shows Hungarian words and their English translations for many words that are found in documents used to research Hungarian ancestors. If the word you are looking for is not on this list, please consult a Hungarian-English dictionary. (See the "Additional Resources" section.)


== LANGUAGE CHARACTERISTICS ==
Hungarian is unrelated to most European languages and only remotely related to Finnish and Estonian. Hungarian was used along with Latin and German in the records of all areas of the old kingdom of Hungary before 1918. This includes present-day Hungary, Slovakia, southwestern Ukraine, western Romania, Serbia, Croatia and the easternmost part of Austria. To read Hungarian records in these languages, use the [[Latin Genealogical Word List]] and [[German Word List|German Genealogical Word List]]. In addition, the Hungarian language may be found in the records of Hungarian communities in the United States, Canada, and other areas settled by Hungarians.


=== Variant Forms of Words ===
== The Hungarian Alphabet  ==


In Hungarian, as in English, the forms of some words vary according to how they are used in a sentence. Who, whose, whom, or marry, marries, married are examples of words in English with variant forms. This word list gives most words in the standard form, but some are given in the form most commonly seen in genealogical sources.

Hungarian uses numerous word endings to express complex grammatical relationships. These suffixes can be combined to add additional meaning. For example:

gyermek = child (standard form)
=== Variant Forms of Words  ===


gyermeke = his or her child
In Hungarian, as in English, the forms of some words vary according to how they are used in a sentence. Who, whose, whom, or marry, marries, married are examples of words in English with variant forms. This word list gives most words in the standard form, but some are given in the form most commonly seen in genealogical sources.


gyermekei = his or her children
Hungarian uses numerous word endings to express complex grammatical relationships. These suffixes can be combined to add additional meaning. For example:


gyermekeinek = of his or her children
gyermek = child (standard form)


As you read Hungarian records, be aware that most words vary with usage. The following table shows the various endings that can appear on Hungarian words with their meaning. Most endings have variant forms because the vowel in the ending must "harmonize" with the vowel in the root word.
gyermeke = his or her child


=== Common Grammatical Endings ===
gyermekei = his or her children


Plural forms of Hungarian words usually end with-k. This may be proceeded by one of the following vowels: a, e, o, or ő. Thus könyv (book) becomes könyvek (books); nap (day) becomes napak (days); lány (daughter) becomes lányok (daughters). The suffix -i is used instead of -ek when combined with possessive suffixes.
gyermekeinek = of his or her children


=== Possessive Endings ===
As you read Hungarian records, be aware that most words vary with usage. The following table shows the various endings that can appear on Hungarian words with their meaning. Most endings have variant forms because the vowel in the ending must "harmonize" with the vowel in the root word.


Possession is shown by the endings -a, -e, -ja, -je, (singular) or -nak, -nek (plural). These endings are attached to what is possessed. For example:
=== Common Grammatical Endings  ===


fi = son; János fia = son of János
Plural forms of Hungarian words usually end with-k. This may be proceeded by one of the following vowels: a, e, o, or ő. Thus könyv (book) becomes könyvek (books); nap (day) becomes napok (days); lány (daughter) becomes lányok (daughters). The suffix -i is used instead of -ek when combined with possessive suffixes.


nő = wife; János neje = wife of János
=== Possessive Endings  ===


ház = house; János háznak = houses of János.
Possession is shown by the endings -a, -e, -ja, -je, (singular) or -nak, -nek (plural). These endings are attached to what is possessed. For example:


=== Prepositions and Postpositions ===
fiú = son; János fia = son of János


In many cases Hungarian word order is the opposite of English word order. For example, the English phrase "according to the book" in Hungarian iskönyve szerint, "the book according to." The preposition is placed after the noun and becomes a postposition. Most Hungarian prepositions and postpositions are included in this word list. In addition, many word endings act as prepositions or postpositions.
nő = wife; János neje = wife of János


=== Common Hungarian Endings ===
ház = house; János házai = houses of János.


This table is in alphabetical order by the last letter of the ending.

=== ADDITIONAL RESOURCES ===
== Key Words  ==


This word list includes only the words most commonly found in genealogical sources. For further help, use a Hungarian-English dictionary. Several are available at the Family History Libraryin the European collection. The call numbers begin with 494.511321.
In order to find and use specific types of Hungarian records, you will need to know some key words in Hungarian. This section gives key genealogical terms in English with Hungarian translations. Words that have a hyphen (-) before or after them are root words and occur with various prefixes and suffixes (endings) in actual usage.  


The following dictionary is also available on microfilm for use in Family History Centers:
For example, in the first column you will find the English word marriage. In the second column you will find Hungarian words with meanings such as marry, marriage, wedding, wedlock, unite, legitimate, joined, and other words used in Hungarian records to indicate marriage.

'''Caution:''' It is important to note that in some early 1800 Hungarian records months were identified by Roman or Arabic numerals corresponding to the Latin roots in the '''names''' of the last four months of the year – September through December. It would be natural to assume that the 6th day of the X th month would be 6 October, when in fact the actual date is 6 December (with the X representing the Latin root “decem” and not the 10th month). Therefore, when you come across a date with the month represented by a numeral (either Arabic or Roman), '''very carefully check''' the context to make certain you have the correct month. Very often that number will represent a kind of short hand for the Latin root of the month’s name:

| bitang
| November
| vagrant, vagabond
| IX or 9
|-
|-
| bizonyítvány
| December
| certificate, document
| X or 10
|}
 
In more modern records the use of a Roman numeral will represent the number, rather than the name of the month. In that case “1999.VII.6” would represent 6 Sept 1999.

== General Word List  ==
 
This general word list includes words commonly seen in genealogical sources. Numbers, months, and days of the week are listed both here and in separate sections that follow this list. Hungarian words are listed in alphabetical order.
 
In this list, optional versions of Hungarian words or variable endings (such as some plural or feminine endings), are given in parentheses. Words in parentheses in the English column clarify the definition.
 
Some Hungarian words have both a male and female form, such as:
 
polgár = male citizen
 
polgárnő = female citizen
 
The words in the following list usually show only the male form of words:
