Hungarian is something of a linguistic oddity. It is spoken by 13 million people, mostly in Hungary itself, but is not a member of the Indo-European languages that dominate central Europe. Hungarian is actually a Finno-Ugric language and is unrelated to the languages spoken by most of the nations that neighbor it. It uses a Latin alphabet, with some alterations to accommodate different accents and letters. There are some Hungarian speakers living in Romania and in Croatia. Slovakia and Austria also have small populations of Hungarian speakers. This language is represented on many websites and there is a vibrant community of technologically-savvy youth in this nation. There is no shortage of web resources for Hungarians.

This nation has a medium-sized economy, which was transitioned from a centrally-controlled model following the fall of communism in the Eastern Bloc nations. The nation has plenty of consumer opportunities and good rates of education among its population. The nation is very popular for tourism, and there are numerous words which Hungary has borrowed into its language from those of its neighbors. This nation enjoys a very high standard of living and the population is notable for having a high-income level relative to many neighboring nations. The nation is also known for its significant contributions to the arts and literature. Like many languages, Hungarian has different forms of address for people of different social statures and relationships to the speaker, which is important when this language is used on a web page, or in any other media.
