It’s not everyone who can say that they are one of the most difficult languages in the world. Maybe others wouldn't really feel comfortable with such an adjective, but I'm proud of it. I am in the same league as Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic when it comes to difficulty. I am particularly pleased with this title because of my size. The others are all ‘big’ languages, spoken by a lot of people, but me, only 15 million or so people speak me, and most of those people live in Hungary. So, what is worth knowing about me? I am a so-called agglutinating language and I belong to the Uralic language family. That means that affixes are stuck on to either end of my words and in that way, they become one with the word concerned. My alphabet is Latin and contains 44 letters, including accented vowels, which do confuse many people, despite making it easier to pronounce words correctly. I also have an interest in consonants, because I have two-letter consonants, too. At least, I just have one past and one present tense, and I often talk about the future with a present tense verb. After all that, I suppose my aforementioned position in the difficulty table is understandable, but if you ask me, it's still worth learning about me. If nothing else, you’ll be able to say that you speak one of Europe's most unusual languages.
