HUNGARIAN ALPHABET

by Orsolya Fábián


THE HUNGARIAN ALPHABET

The Hungarian orthography based on the Latin alphabet, but it has more speech sounds.

Because of it Hungarian uses some symbols on vowels (accents) - á, é, and letter combinations for consonants - cs, dz, gy, etc.

In alphabet there are 44 letters.


A Á B C Cs D Dz Dzs E É F G Gy H I Í J K L Ly M N Ny O Ó Ö Õ P Q R S Sz T Ty U Ú Ü Û X Y V W Z Zs


Vowel without a symbol or two small dots on it is: SHORT

Vowel with one or two accents on it (like / or // on it)  is: LONG (longer pronunciation time - double long like a short one).


There is a short vowel which usually has its long pair:


A a - alma                        Á á - járkál

E e -  este                        É é - kérés

I i - kicsi                           Í í - sír

O o      Ó ó - olcsó

Ö ö      Õ õ - költõ

U u       Ú ú - búsul

Üü - kerül                         Û û - mût
