Hungarian

by Istvan Kenesei, Robert M. Vago, Anna Fenyvesi

Overview

Hungarian is spoken by 14-15 million people worldwide. A unique language, completely unrelated to the languages of its neighbouring countries, it boasts a grammar full of complex features and vocabulary of basically Uralic (Finno-Ugric) origin.

Hungarian addresses current issues in the description of languages and applies up-to-date research techniques to Hungarian. This comprehensive descriptive grammar of the Hungarian language will appeal to both the professional linguist and advanced learner of Hungarian alike.
