HUNGARY—LANGUAGE AND LANGUAGES  
=== Key Words  ===
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.
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.

=== Numbers  ===
In some genealogical records, numbers are spelled out. This is especially true with dates. The following list gives the cardinal (1, 2, 3) and the ordinal (1st, 2nd, 3rd) versions of each number. Days of the month are written in ordinal form:

=== Dates  ===
In Hungarian records, dates are sometimes written out: július huszonötödikén Az Úrnak ezernyolcszázharminchatodik esztendejében = on the twenty-fifth of July in the year of Our Lord one thousand eight hundred thirty and six
To understand Hungarian dates, use the following lists as well as the preceding “Numbers” section:

'''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:

|-
| September
| VII or 7
|-
| October
| VIII or 8
|-
| November
| IX or 9
|-
| December
| 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.
