The Hungarian alphabet (Hungarian: magyar ábécé, pronounced [ˈmɒɟɒr ˈaːbeːt͡seː]) is an extension of the Latin alphabet used for writing the Hungarian language. The alphabet is based on the Latin alphabet , with several added variations of letters, consisting 44 letters.
The letters q, w, x, y are only included in the extended Hungarian alphabet and they are rarely used in Hungarian words, where they are normally replaced with their phonetic equivalents kv, v, ksz, i (only the x is relatively common, e.g. taxi). However y occurs in several native digraphs, which are treated as letters by themselves: gy, ly, ny, ty.
The alphabet did not contain letters for the phonemes dz and dzs of modern Hungarian, since these are relatively recent developments in the language's history. Nor did it have letters corresponding to the Latin q, w, x and y. The modern revitalization movement has created symbols for these; in Unicode encoding, they are represented as ligatures.
In Hungarian, the double acute is thought of as the letter having both an umlaut and an acute accent. Standard Hungarian has 14 vowels in a symmetrical system: seven short vowels (a, e, i, o, ö, u, ü) and seven long ones, which are written with an acute accent in the case of á, é, í, ó, ú, and with the double acute in the case of ő, ű.
The vowel phonemes of Hungarian [13]. Hungarian has seven pairs of corresponding short and long vowels.Their phonetic values do not exactly match up with each other, so e represents /ɛ/ and é represents /eː/; likewise, a represents /ɒ/ while á represents /aː/. [14]
The braille alphabet used to write Hungarian is based on the international norm for the 27 basic letters of the Latin script. However, the letters for q and z have been replaced, to increase the symmetry of the accented letters of the Hungarian alphabet, which are largely innovative to Hungarian braille. [1] [2]
Sz is the thirty-second letter of the Hungarian alphabet.It represents /s/ and is called "esz" /ɛs/.Thus, names like Liszt are pronounced /list/ list.. In Hungarian, even if two characters are put together to make a different sound, they are considered one letter (a true digraph), and even acronyms keep the letter intact.
Dz is the seventh letter of the Hungarian alphabet. It is called dzé (IPA:) as a letter of the alphabet, where it represents the voiced alveolar affricate phoneme /dz/. Dz and dzs were recognized as individual letters in the 11th edition of Hungarian orthography (1984). [6]
