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_Word_List|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. | Hungarian is unrelated to most European languages and only remotely related to Finnish and Estonian.
