The Hungarian language is unique and has very specific origins and characteristics.
Hungary’s Blossoming Economy
The Hungarian language is spoken primarily in Hungary, a landlocked country in the Carpathian Basin of Central Europe, bordered by Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia. Hungary’s investment in the world economy is gaining momentum. Hungary has continued to demonstrate economic growth as one of the newest member countries of the European Union (since 2004). The private sector accounts for over 80% of GDP. Investment in Hungary is easy, although it is subject to government licensing in security-sensitive areas. Foreign capital enjoys virtually the same protections and privileges as domestic capital. The rule of law is strong, a professional judiciary protects property rights, and the level of corruption is low.

American Language Services prides itself in the quality of translators we use; all Hungarian translators are screened and trained in the field.
The Semantics and Dialects of Hungarian
The dialects of Hungarian identified by Ethnologue are: Alfld, West Danube, Danube-Tisza, King’s Pass Hungarian, Northeast Hungarian, Northwest Hungarian, Szkely and West Hungarian. These dialects are, for the most part, mutually intelligible. Hungarian word order is often mentioned as free, the truth is that Hungarian word order is more semantical than syntactical. For example because of marking the object using it, it is not necessary to place the subject before the verb, and the object after it, as in English. This feature makes Hungarian able to focus on particular sections of the sentence structure. .
The Hungarian Writing System
The Hungarian language was originally written in Old Hungarian script, a script reminiscent of runic writing systems. When Stephen I of Hungary established the Kingdom of Hungary in the year 1000, the old system was gradually discarded in favor of the Latin alphabet. Although not now used at all in everyday life, the old script is still known and practiced by some enthusiasts.
