đź“Š I created this list of the thousand most common Hungarian words by performing a statistical analysis of an extensive collection of documents written in Hungarian (including news articles and many other articles).
I did my best to convert the words appearing in the documents into their dictionary form before counting them and sorting them by frequency.
Because this vocabulary list is sorted by frequency, the words appearing near the top are more common than those appearing further down the list.
Hungarian is a rather difficult language for English speakers to learn. It is one of the few European languages that don’t belong to the Indo-European language family (Estonian and Finnish are other examples).
Very few of the thousand most common Hungarian words are similar to their English translations.
Because there is barely any vocabulary overlap between Hungarian and English, learning Hungarian is harder than learning languages like Spanish or Italian, which have many words that resemble their English counterparts.
