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 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 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 Old Hungarian script or Hungarian runes (Hungarian: Székely-magyar rovás, 'székely-magyar runiform', or rovásírás) is an alphabetic writing system used for writing the Hungarian language. Modern Hungarian is written using the Latin-based Hungarian alphabet .
Ny is the twenty-third letter of the Hungarian alphabet. Its name is eny ( /ɛɲ/ ), and it represents the palatal nasal ( /ɲ/ ). Even mere sequences of n and y that represent different sounds are considered instances of this letter; this holds true in acronyms as well.
The letter y is limited to loanwords and proper names like Sylt [citation needed]. Hungarian Egy hűtlen vejét fülöncsípő, dühös mexikói úr ázik Quitóban. ("An unfaithful son-in-law is being treated by a sniveling, angry Mexican lord in Quito.") contains all 44 letters of the Hungarian alphabet, with a total of 50 letters.
