URALIC: HUNGARIAN & MOKSHA

Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let’s learn different languages/dialects together. Hungarian is a Uralic language of the proposed Ugric branch spoken in Hungary and parts of several neighbouring countries. It is the official language of Hungary and one of the 24 official languages of the European Union. Outside Hungary, it is also spoken by Hungarian communities in southern Slovakia, western Ukraine (Transcarpathia), central and western Romania (Transylvania), northern Serbia (Vojvodina), northern Croatia, northeastern Slovenia (Prekmurje), and eastern Austria (Burgenland). It is also spoken by Hungarian diaspora communities worldwide. With 14 million speakers, it is the Uralic family’s largest member by number of speakers. Moksha is a Mordvinic language of the Uralic family, spoken by around 130,000 people in 2010, primarily in western Mordovia. Its closest relative is the Erzya language, but they are not mutually intelligible. Moksha may also be related to the extinct Meshcherian and Muromian languages. Efforts to revive Moksha and Erzya began in the late 1990s with new language and education policies. Moksha has been written in Cyrillic using Russian spelling rules since the 18th century. This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes. It aims to provide valuable insights and knowledge to viewers, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of different languages and their unique characteristics. By raising awareness about linguistic diversity, the video seeks to foster a greater respect and recognition for various languages, particularly those that are endangered or underrepresented.
