Hungarians

Hungarians, also known as Magyars, are an <a href="/facts/Ethnicity/XSp5l24t">ethnic group</a> native to <a href="/facts/Hungary/YRedQLtI">Hungary</a> (Hungarian: Magyarország), who share a common <a href="/facts/Culture_of_Hungary/2MRnoLhj">culture</a>, <a href="/facts/Hungarian_language/nt4g0ano">language</a> and <a href="/facts/History_of_Hungary/U45ApRM0">history</a>. They also have a notable presence in former parts of the <a href="/facts/Kingdom_of_Hungary/91tLqn81">Kingdom of Hungary</a>. The Hungarian language belongs to the <a href="/facts/Ugric_languages/pkeXjV4p">Ugric</a> branch of the <a href="/facts/Uralic_languages/4K0r9XRI">Uralic</a> language family, alongside the <a href="/facts/Khanty_languages/drDgfCI2">Khanty</a> and <a href="/facts/Mansi_languages/XnU9TV93">Mansi</a> languages.
There are an estimated 14.5 million ethnic Hungarians and their descendants worldwide, of whom 9.6 million live in today's Hungary. About 2 million Hungarians live in areas that were part of the Kingdom of Hungary before the <a href="/facts/Treaty_of_Trianon/AgvrWJ1I">Treaty of Trianon</a> in 1920 and are now parts of Hungary's seven neighbouring countries, <a href="/facts/Hungarians_in_Slovakia/Gy64U4r7">Slovakia</a>, <a href="/facts/Hungarians_in_Ukraine/Ft6RPSED">Ukraine</a>, <a href="/facts/Hungarians_in_Romania/SdMFKsIa">Romania</a>, <a href="/facts/Hungarians_in_Serbia/WJkySu7s">Serbia</a>, <a href="/facts/Hungarians_of_Croatia/0F4KcHsI">Croatia</a>, <a href="/facts/Prekmurje/WlXDj1jf">Slovenia</a>, and <a href="/facts/Hungarians_in_Austria/8pawdHAS">Austria</a>. In addition, significant groups of people with Hungarian ancestry live in various other parts of the world, most of them in the <a href="/facts/Hungarian_Americans/90LHj6mb">United States</a>, <a href="/facts/Hungarian_Canadians/8fCbuQLu">Canada</a>, <a href="/facts/Hungarians_in_Germany/5oPpKkcm">Germany</a>, <a href="/facts/France/CxIeIKM3">France</a>, the <a href="/facts/Hungarians_in_the_United_Kingdom/npph1N4l">United Kingdom</a>, <a href="/facts/Hungarians_in_Chile/8DadxV6F">Chile</a>, <a href="/facts/Hungarian_Brazilians/UT4oDwv3">Brazil</a>, <a href="/facts/Hungarian_Australians/uCNnRJXo">Australia</a>, and <a href="/facts/Hungarian_Argentines/gqr9hNlf">Argentina</a>, and therefore constitute the <a href="/facts/Hungarian_diaspora/AkFa6TEn">Hungarian diaspora</a> (<a href="/facts/Hungarian_language/nt4g0ano">Hungarian</a>: magyar diaszpóra).
Furthermore, Hungarians can be divided into several subgroups according to local linguistic and cultural characteristics; subgroups with distinct identities include the <a href="/facts/Sz%25C3%25A9kelys/qj45yc6C">Székelys</a> (in eastern <a href="/facts/Transylvania/6MH7dvbq">Transylvania</a> as well as <a href="/facts/Sz%25C3%25A9kelys_of_Bukovina/5utCSVyw">a few</a> in <a href="/facts/Suceava_County/8B2rf6tA">Suceava County</a>, <a href="/facts/Bukovina/7XrPSXxt">Bukovina</a>), the <a href="/facts/Cs%25C3%25A1ng%25C3%25B3s/DXDaF72z">Csángós</a> (in <a href="/facts/Western_Moldavia/hBgMHWUd">Western Moldavia</a>), the <a href="/facts/Pal%25C3%25B3c/pmWaBYan">Palóc</a>, and the <a href="/facts/Maty%25C3%25B3/ERrFbCYC">Matyó</a>.
