- Description
- Word for 'Hungary' differ considerably in the world's natural languages, falling into two groups: Hungarian Magyarország and words based on it, and words based on the Medieval Latin word Hungaria, e.g. English Hungary. This paper will look at words for 'Hungary' in artificial languages to see what sort of variation occurs in them and why it occurs. Artificial languages are languages which have been consciously created, unlike natural languages such as English and Chinese. Artificial languages which have been designed as a means of international communication are artificial auxiliary languages. Esperanto, one of the best-known and successful artificial languages, belongs to this group, but there are hundreds of other such languages, although most of them saw little or no use. Many artificial auxiliary languages, perhaps a considerable majority of them, followed the Latin form, e.g. Esperanto Hungarujo, Idiom Neutral Hungaria, Interlingua (IALA) Hungaria, and Olingo Hungio. However, a few languages have words based on the Hungarian form, e.g. Dil ciar, Makapi Magyalusaga, Pankel mad, and Sasxsek madiarorsag. Neo has words of both types, Ungrio and Majario. There are also just a few languages which have (or would have had) completely different words for 'Hungary', e.g. Ygeyde, as names of countries in these languages are based on their location (their latitude and longitude) or their size. In some cases the reasons behind the choice of words for 'Hungary' will be explained; to some extent they will involve the natural languages which were the sources of material for the artificial language in question (for those languages which used items from natural languages).
