Hungarian is a language isolate

I'm sick of jealous people who want to take away the uniqueness of the Hungarian language by inaccurately linking it with other languages it has little to do with such as Finnish or Turkish. The most common thing they cite are a handful of similar words and "vowel harmony". Vowel harmony means a different vowel in the suffix is used depending on the earlier vowels that are in the word. The vowels Hungarian, Finnish, and Turkish use are completely different.

Other languages that has been unfairly categorized into a language family are Albanian and Armenian, the Indo-European family.

Haven't studied Finnish but want to.
how is it like Japanese?
Korean uses more Chinese words
more to do with sentence structure maybe?

That aside, Finnish Estonian and Hungarian are all related. The differences come from the surrounding countries, and the languages of minorities.Even here in New Zealand, our English is different from say America, England, Australia etc, this is because we have so many other ethnicities, so many of the words we use come from Polynesian, and Maori, even a little Chinese
