Listen to spoken Hungarian
Alice C. Linsley
The Hungarian language is classified by linguists in the Uralic family. This means that Hungarian words have affinity to words in related Uralic languages: Estonian, Finnish, Lappish, Mordvin and Samoyed. It is related to ancient Scythian or Saka. There are also words that show the influence of classical Latin, and in more recent centuries, German.
The Hungarian alphabet is similar to the English, but there are extra vowels: á, é, í, ó, ö, ő, ú, ü, ű; and extra consonants: cs, gy, ly, ny, ty, sz, zs.
Hungarian is largely phonetic. Once you master the sound values of the alphabet, you will be able to read Hungarian texts. The values are always the same, making it easier to master Hungarian pronunciation.
As with Greek, Latin and Russian, it has cases: genitive, dative, instrumental, etc. Here is an explanation of how words change case.
The language shows causation in the verb semantics.
People who have studied Latin, French of Spanish will be familiar with verb conjugation. This is done in Hungarian also. Hungarian also has reflexive pronouns.
What follows is a limited Lexicon of old Hungarian words. The * indicates words with an explanation in the NOTES.

NOTES
*The old Hungarian world for judge is bíró. This is likely related to the words biru and piru, which pertain to shrines and places of sacrifice.
*There is a clear relationship between these words Ég - heaven, egész - whole, and egy - one.
*The word erdő (forest) is a cognate to Eridu (Sumerian place name) and Eredo (Nigerian place name).
*The Hungarian word for oath is eskű, and is related to the word kű, meaning stone. Stone were erected to mark the places where oaths were pledged.
*Mag means seed, son, and can refer to a brother. The biblical word Magog is likely Mag-Og (Magóg), meaning the seed of Og, a ruler. Mag is related to the Sanskrit mah, meaning great. The word Magi refers to ruler-priests. They were mathematicians, astronomers and the builders of the first cities, known as high places. According to Clement of Alexandria, "Egypt is the mother-land of the Magi". It appears that among the biblical peoples there was a 3-clan royal confederation of Og, Gog and Magog.
