Really? I was two times in Hungary and it was both times an absolute nightmare. First time was with our school class, second time was a family vacation. I don't know if Hungarians have a general problem with Germans, but as soon as people heard our language they became extremely unfriendly. Even waiters and hotel employees. In front of the hotel an old alcoholic gipsy offered us his two daughters. We were 15-16 at that time and his daughters were around 45 and had both seen better days! When he was completely drunk, we could see from the hotel window how his two daughters beat him up and kicked him. It was hillarious and sad at the same time. On the last day of the class trip we had a fight with half the class against the hotel employees because a waiter kicked our female teacher in the stomach. But the police blamed us and we had to pay a fee in order to get our stuff back. And on the family vacation, pickpockets stole my mother's wallet, in Budapest I got a food poisoning in a restaurant and had the worst cramps of my life, there were scammers everywhere and a waitress spilled a drink on me. After that, that was it for me with Hungary. I would rather do a backflip into an active volcano than set foot in this country again. WORST COUNTRY EVER! Half the population are criminals, the other half are fascists.

Hungarian is not Indo-European that's why. Is closer to Finnish than European languages.

[@florianmeier3186]

That was rather easy. The first word already said it all and the counting is also very distinct. In case of Polish it was immediately clear that it is Slavic and during counting there was the very specific nasal sound which no other Slavic language has. When she started to speed up it became also rather distinct, so she tried her best to help, but Polish is due to its complexity not so often learned and therefore not well known. But as a Korean the guessing lady did extremely well. Even to claim Dutch to be close to German and French is not that wrong.

These languages are only very distantly related to Indo-European, and have a special sounds. - Maltese (0.5 million speakers) a language of Arabic/Berber origin, strongly influenced by Italian. Those who haven't heard it yet don't know where to put it. - Albanian (13 million speakers) is an unrelated language, which will be the common national language of Switzerland. At first glance is like a Hungarian text spoken backwards. - Welsh (0.6 million) He has a British passport, but you don't understand what he's talking about?

The tricky part on the last one is that somebody from Belgium could speak one of three languages, potentially. It would be like trying to guess somebody from Switzerland based on the language they spoke. In this case, the woman is speaking Flemish, which is essentially Dutch. But if she had been from Wallonia, it would have been French.

And then we have that very small German speaking part. Purely to keep people on their toes 😅🤣

The Belgians that speak Dutch (Flemish) do sound different from the Netherlands' Dutch so it's not that tricky. The real problem comes with French...

Very interesting how she picked up the German and French elements of Flemish! I mean, Flemish is basically Dutch (the bastard son of German) with some French influence - mainly in the enunciation - because Belgium is bilingual (Flemish and French).

[@starmy.h.87]

Actually, as a Hungarian it's so interesting to me that she thought the Hungarian girl was either from Denmark or Argentina, knowing that Korean and Hungarian language may be distantly related, coming from the same root at one point. I know of the theory that says Korean has no linguistic-relation to any other language but if it does, Hungarian is certainly one of the relatives. The similarity between "apa" and "아빠" could be only coincidence, being aware of how certain words in the world are similar in sounding-as well as in meaning-thanks to their easy pronunciation for toddlers. However, it's fun to play with the thought of being related. Maybe not genetically, not anymore; but linguistically and culturally there's a great chance.

[@boglarkabalazs7129]

Hungarian belongs to the Finno-Ugric language family, assigned to the Ugric branch along with the Mansi and Khanty languages of western Siberia. I am not sure about the Korean language though!

[@starmy.h.87]

@@boglarkabalazs7129 Yes, I know. Uralic is believed to be a subdivision of Altaic languages. Finno-Ugric is a branch of Uralic languages. Out of the 3 theories regarding the origins of the Korean language 2 assumes some kind of relation to the Altaic languages. At least that's what I've been told. This leads to the conclusion that (even if it's basically insignificant) Korean and Hungarian may or may not have some kind of distant relation.

Interestingly, the only one I didn't get right was the American, she got me too lol I knew Italian upon hearing it, I'm very familiar with the differences between Romance languages, especially since I speak one myself. French was the easiest, since that's my native language. The thing is, France isn't the only country that speaks French (she was obviously European, though, I would have recognised a French Canadian accent), so at first, I was unsure, but when she said there are many varieties of cheese, it was obvious to me it was France. The Polish girl was tricky. I knew it was Slavic immediately, but that it wasn't an Eastern Slavic language (I have very basic knowledge of Russian). I was hesitating between Western Slavic and Southern Slavic. But then, when she counted, I heard a nasal vowel, and I was pretty sure it was Polish from that clue. The Hungarian one was also tricky, but I ended up guessing right. At first, I proceeded by elimination : I knew it probably wasn't an Indo-European language, and it didn't sound like Finnish or Estonian to me. Then I saw a written word, and after listening to the sounds more carefully, I thought it was probably Hungarian. But I was still pretty unsure, so I'm glad I got it right. German was easy, it's a language I'm studying. Again, though, Germany isn't the only country that speaks German, but since she said it was a big country with a big automobile industry, it was very obvious. And yes, I would have understood that part even without subtitles. The last one, at first, I was lost. I knew it was some Germanic language like Dutch or Afrikaans, but I couldn't decide which, especially since it didn't sound like the Dutch I'm more used to hear. I even thought it could have been Luxemburgish for a moment. But all my doubts were cleared when she sang the national anthem. It happened to be one of the few national anthems I can recognise easily, and it was the national anthem of Belgium. Everything made sense at that moment. "Of course, she's Flemish!" That was a fun one. It put my language recognition skills to the test.
