Good luck with that. My family speaks Hungarian and I can understand a bit, but my tongue just doesn’t do those “ngy “ sounds. Really not like any other language.Started learning Hungarian 2 weeks ago for the hell of it

Jó napot! Awesome they can speak it!Good luck with that. My family speaks Hungarian and I can understand a bit, but my tongue just doesn’t do those “ngy “ sounds. Really not like any other language.
It’s a Latin based language with Slavic influencesI've occasionally dabbled in Romanian, which is supposedly a romance language with Latin roots like Spanish or French.
So far I've not been able to tell
Not that it matters since I can't even get to grasp the sentence structure.
Romance:Yeah, much like Flemish is romance, but so heavy on the Germanic influence you could hard guess.
I do think it's the Slavic structure and congugation that throws me off, though. I've heard that historically Romanian had more French influence, which I would be able to pick out easily, but that suffered under the Soviet russification of last century.
If you have links to those videos, I'm totally interested.
Just remembered that I saw something once that claimed that the Voynich Manuscript had been partially translated by Hungarian father/son team of literaries who thought they recognized it as similar to a now dead rural Hungarian dialect.
I should look into that again, see how it's going.
annoying. My wife grew up in Romania, with a grandparent from Hungary. She pick up all the latin languages so easily, yet having German parents means she knows that language spectrum well. And well.. Yeah working in an international environment..Romanian
I took 2 years of French in highschool, barely passed the class, then never used it until last winter when I worked a seasonal job doing customer service for a Canadian lingerie company.annoying.

I hate it how I can work in Brazil for 5 years, she joins me once and speaks better Portuguese. Unfair.
