{{for|the non-Latin script descended from Old Turkic|Old Hungarian script}}{{Hungarian language}}

The Hungarian alphabet ({{Lang-hu|Magyar ábécé}}) is an extension of the Latin alphabet used for writing the Hungarian language.

One sometimes speaks of the smaller and greater (or extended) Hungarian alphabets, depending on whether or not the letters Q, W, X, Y are listed, which can only be found in foreign words and traditional orthography of names.^[1]

The 44 letters of the extended Hungarian alphabet are:

Majuscule forms (also called uppercase or capital letters)
A	Á	B	C	Cs	D	Dz	Dzs	E	É	F	G	Gy	H	I	Í	J	K	L	Ly	M	N	Ny	O	Ó	Ö	Ő	P	Q	R	S	Sz	T	Ty	U	Ú	Ü	Ű	V	W	X	Y	Z	Zs
Minuscule forms (also called lowercase or small letters)
a	á	b	c	cs	d	dz	dzs	e	é	f	g	gy	h	i	í	j	k	l	ly	m	n	ny	o	ó	ö	ő	p	q	r	s	sz	t	ty	u	ú	ü	ű	v	w	x	y	z	zs

Description

Each sign shown above counts as a letter in its own right in Hungarian. Some, such as the letter ó and ő, are inter-filed with the letter preceding it when sorting words alphabetically, whereas others, such as ö, have their own place in collation rather than also being inter-filed with o.

While long vowels count as different letters, long (or geminate) consonants do not. Long consonants are marked by duplication: e.g. <tt>, <gg>, <zz> (ette 'he ate (det.obj.)', függ 'it hangs', azzal 'with that'). For the di- and tri-graphs a simplification rule normally applies (but not when the compound is split at the end of a line of text due to hyphenation): only the first letter is duplicated: e.g.

<sz> + <sz> → <ssz> (asszony 'woman'),

<ty> + <ty> → <tty> (hattyú 'swan'),

<dzs> + <dzs> → <ddzs> (briddzsel 'with bridge (playing game)').

An exception is made at the joining points of compound words, for example: jegygyűrű 'engagement ring' (jegy + gyűrű) not *jeggyűrű.

Pronunciation

The pronunciation given for the following Hungarian letters is that of standard Hungarian.

A	a	/ɒ/}}{{Audio\|Open back rounded vowel.ogg\| }}	similar to British English cot	[ɑ̝̹]}} might describe it better (raised, more rounded; sign rendered probably incorrectly, containing two diacritical marks below).

The letter ë is not part of the Hungarian alphabet; however, linguists use this letter to distinguish between the two kinds of short e sounds of some dialects. This letter was first used in 1770 by György Kalmár, but has never officially been part of the Hungarian alphabet, as the standard Hungarian language does not distinguish between these two sounds. However, the ë sound is pronounced differently from the e sound in 6 out of the 10 Hungarian dialects and the sound is pronounced as ö in 1 dialect. It is also used in names.

The digraph ch also exists in some words (technika, monarchia) and is pronounced the same as h. In names, it is pronounced like cs as well as like h or k (as in German) (see below).

Generally, y in historic spellings of names formed with the -i affix (not to be confused with a possessive -i- of plural objects, as in szavai!) can exist after many other letters (e.g.: Teleky, Rákóczy, Dézsy). Here are listed only examples which can be easily misread because of such spelling.

Examples:

Széchenyi	Szécsényi

Thököly	Tököli
Weöres	Vörös

Historic spellings of article and conjunctions

In early editions the article a/az was written according to the following rules:

° before vowels and "h" — az: az ember, az híd;

° before consonants — a: a' cs'illag.

The abbreviated form of the conjunction és (and), which is always written today as s, was likely to be written with an apostrophe before — ’s (e.g. föld ’s nép).

Capitalisation

The di- and the trigraphs are capitalised in names and at the beginning of sentences by capitalising the first glyph of them only.

Csak jót mondhatunk Székely Csabáról.

In abbreviations and when writing with all capital letters, however, one capitalises the second (and third) character as well.

Thus ("The Rules of Hungarian Orthography", a book edited by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences):

A magyar helyesírás szabályai
MHSZ (not MHSz)
A MAGYAR HELYESÍRÁS SZABÁLYAI (not SzABÁLyAI)

Alphabetical ordering (collation)

While the characters with diacritical marks are considered separate letters, vowels that differ only in length are treated the same when ordering words. Therefore, for example, the pairs O/Ó and Ö/Ő are not distinguished in ordering, but Ö follows O. In cases where two words are differentiated solely by the presence of an accent, the one without the accent is put before the other one. (The situation is the same for lower and upper-case letters: in alphabetical ordering, varga is followed by Varga.)

The polygraphic consonant signs are treated as single letters.

comb
cukor
csak	comes after
...
folyik
folyó	<ó> is sorted as
folyosó
...
fő	and <ő> is sorted as <ö>,
födém	but <ö> comes after
...

The simplified geminates of multigraphs (see above) such as <nny>, <ssz> are collated as <ny>+<ny>, <sz>+<sz> etc., if they are double geminates, rather than co-occurrences of a single letter and a geminate.

könnyű is collated as <k><ö><ny><ny><ű>. tizennyolc of course as <t><i><z><e><n><ny><o><l><c>, as this is a compound: tizen+nyolc ('above ten' + 'eight' = 'eighteen').

Similar 'ambiguities', which can occur with compounds (which are highly common in Hungarian) are dissolved and collated by sense.

e.g. házszám 'house number (address)' = ház + szám and of course not *házs + *zám.

These rules make Hungarian alphabetic ordering algorithmically difficult (one has to know the correct segmentation of a word to sort it correctly), which was a problem for computer software development.

Keyboard layout

The standard Hungarian keyboard layout is German-based (QWERTZ). This layout allows direct access to every character in the Hungarian alphabet.

The letter "Í" is often placed left of the space key, leaving the width of the left Shift key intact. "Ű" may be located to the left of Backspace, making that key smaller, but allowing for a larger Enter key. Ű being close to Enter often leads to it being typed instead of hitting Enter, especially when one has just switched from a keyboard that has Ű next to backspace.

Letter frequencies

The most common letters in Hungarian are e and a.^[3]
