How to recognise Hungary from the road
Drives on the right
Wide flat plains, long villages and thermal spas. Hungarian looks unlike any of its neighbours.
What to look for
1
Double accents
Look for ő and ű, letters with a double accent that only Hungarian uses.
2
Long words
Hungarian words are long, with clusters like sz, gy and cs.
3
The Great Plain
Much of the east is completely flat farmland.
