HUNGARIAN*
LAYER IN THE
ENGLISH
LANGUAGE
*The relationship is suggested to be not so much a movement
from one language to another, but that there had been an ancient
language people spoke before the isolation of nations/languages.
Today’s Hungarian language is the direct descendent of this
ancient language keeping it as a whole – other languages have
only broken traces of this ancient language. The Celts took many
words with them from Central Europe that created this layer in the
English language.

2. The Magyar language stands afar off and alone.
The study of other tongues will be found of
exceedingly little use towards its right
understanding. It is moulded in a form
essentially on its own, and its construction and
composition may be safely referred to an epoch
when most of the living tongues of Europe
either had no existence, or no influence on the
Hungarian region.
Sir John Bowring
Magyar is Hungarian – we call ourselves ‘Magyar’

THEENGLISHWORD
SAIL
MEANS‘WIND’
INHUNGARIAN
szél = wind
sz=[s]

One needs wind to sail – same
form, same image/meaning –
there must be a connection
From this

Playing on the idea of the soul
being of the quality of the wind
– invisible, light, yet something
is there – in both languages
Also consider German: Seele

The English ‘eat’ and the German
‘essen’ are considered to be

connection was not found with
these Hungarian words?
The Hungarian word is in a

30. INTERESTING PARALLELS IN ENGLISH AND HUNGARIAN
GRAMMAR IS RESISTANT TO CHANGE IN TIME -ING
If there is no Hungarian layer in the English language,
how is it possible that both languages use ‘-ing’ to
express continuous motion? Grammar is very ancient
and resistant to change…
Hungarian has variants of it to suit its vowel harmonising nature (the ending becomes
like vowels in main word) – just like Celtic!. Hungarian does not have a continuous
tense per se; rather, it uses adverbs and special words with ‘ing’ in it to express the idea
kacskaringó – squirrely design
kering(ő) – keeps going in circle: waltz
korong – disk/plate (how it was made)
dülöng(él) – sway
harang(oz) – rings the bell
tolong – pushing forward (in crowd)
pillangó – butterfly (wings flutter)
tátong – gape, yawn
terjeng – spread
forrong – revolt (=boiling)
szorong – angor ?, feel anxiety
keringő
korongoz
sing, ring, -ing

32. SOME OTHER IDENTICAL EXAMPLES IN ENGLISH AND HUNGARIAN
RENT
The original of it is „áron ada” (he/she gave it on good price),
from this by contraction: árenda (farming lease), and this
became in English rent (d/t). Same contraction process in
Hungarian: kegyelmed (your worship) > kegyed (you, the
most formal way to address) > kend (you), addressing people
in the country.

35. GRAMMAR PARALLELS IN ENGLISH AND HUNGARIAN

CHANGE – IF THERE ARE
PARALLELS, IT IS BECAUSE
THEY HAVE A COMMON
ORIGIN
• -ISH ADJECTIVE SUFFIX

‘S’ in Hungarian is [sh]
• -ING CONTINUOUS SUFFIX
KERING, RAJONG, DÜLÖNG
• -ED PAST TENSE SUFFIX
OFTEN PRONOUNCED AS [T]
DID-DEED = TETT, SÉTÁLT, IRT
D AND T ARE SOFT AND HARD PAIR
The different vowels in the suffixes are because of
the unique nature of Hungarian using vowel
harmonisation with main word vowel
Even if the first two were
accidental, the –ing ending is
so specific that there must
have been a connection

Ancient languages are based on images, that something is similar to
something else. If you look at these words in other languages, only the
Finnish and the Dravidian languages* show some logic (partly)
This logic can be found in ancient
languages thanks to their building on
ancient stems. Here the NY-L stem means
stretching. Even the consonants ny and l can be
pronounced stretched.

WAYS, THE LETTERS TURN

Notice the presence of ‘r’ in both words, as the idea of rolling, curve –
Stem: CUR, GUR

46. The overall idea is that the Carpathian Basin was an area that
still offered livable territory through the last ice age as it has a
thin layer over the magma and so was not covered with ice.
From here later people spread, taking the ancient language, but
then the separation broke the original knowledge of the
organic ancient language and it distorted, and could not
develop the usual way (building on itself), so new words were
created outside of its forgotten system (see the ancient root
examples).
The famous Semino DNA study in 2000 finally proved that the
people in the Carpathian basin, the now called Hungarians have
the ancient European genes
(more than 60% of men have the EU-19, which means that 30-
40000 years ago their ancestors were among the first Europids
in Europe), which means that the theory that Hungarians only
arrived about a 1000 years ago from the east is not true – of
course the Huns and the Hungarian lords did come from the
east (about 25 thousand of them), but most just returned home
; they were the same kind of peoples as the inhabitants of the
basin speaking the same language (Schytians). Otherwise, we
would not now speak the same language.
Also, in Tatarlaka, Transylvania clay disks were found in the
hundreds with ancient Hungarian runic writing which are older
than the Sumerian clay tablets!
The fact that, for instance, English has an ancient layer common
with Hungarian only could happen if the above is close to the
truth…and the Celts took the words with them to the west.
