Hungarian is not a traceable language.
Is this correct?
Hungarian and Finnish are distantly related, or at least that’s what used to be said — the Finno-Ugric family or somethin’. The national foundation myth for Hungary involves Attila and the Huns. Okay, rather than twist in the wind, I did a quick search, and found the wiki-wacky page sez it is Finno-Ugric and “typologically
between inflected and agglutinative languages”, which suggests an Asian origin (because a great many Asian languages are agglutinative). Another such page sez “Finnish, Estonian, Hungarian” are in that family.

Thanks for the information.

Yes, that is quite interesting.
We are in the early stages of planning a trip to Hungary, Austria and Germany next year.
I have been doing a bit of research on Hungarian history, culture, etc. The language seems to be very difficult to learn according to some sources I have seen.
Anyway, thanks for the information again.

I’ve never been there, but you may wish to visit Salzburg, Austria, which grew rich on the salt trade, and while we’re on the topic:
