Description
In some ways, Hungary is an island. This may seem an odd description of a landlocked nation, a country with no coastline at all, but Hungary is a place unto itself. This Central European nation has one thing that no other country has -- the Hungarian language, a tongue so different from any other that it's considered a "language isolate." Or a language island, one could say. This isn't quite true in the absolute sense, since linguists say Hungarian is a member of the Finno-Urgic family of languages, and distantly related to Finnish and Estonian. But even on that branch of the language family tree, Hungarian is off on its own, a twig unto itself, so to speak -- with Finnish and Estonian being much closer to each other than to Hungarian. And geographically, of course, Finland and Estonia are nowhere near Hungary anyway. - p. 5.
