Hungarian is a bloody pain in the situpons. A lovely example of how broken it is is this grammatically and almost sensible sentence:
Miraculous curiosities of the Hungarian language ‹ Daily News Hungary[^]:
Te tetted e tettetett tettet, te tettetett tettek tettese.
Totally ridiculous and means "You did this pretended action, you, the delinquent of pretended actions." It does get worse, if you read down. :laugh:

To be fair English has some of those weird sentences as well Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo[^]. Also shame on them for leaving the phrase árvíztűrő tükörfúrógép out. :laugh:

Hi Nagy, Greets from a country where "mai mai mai mai mai," can mean "new wood doesn't burn, does it ?" Or, "pom ma" can mean "I came/am coming/will come," or "I'm a dog." These choice words from Hungarian are wonderful, could you please record yourself speaking them slowly, and post links to the audio files here :) cheers, Bill

Typical. All other languages have words for "Cheers" that people can actually pronounce when they're sloshed. Leave it to the Hungarians to be different... ;)

I really expected an update to some language or another (C#, Java, C++, what have you) :)

Really Broken Languages - Top of the List is the Frog-Tongue, French. You probably know they don't count above sixty? After that they start with stuff like sixty-ten. No wonder they have to 'protect' the language: it's already on it's deathbed in the modern world.

English 'breaks' after just 12 with three-ten, four-ten etc. What's your point?
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!
Nope. You are in error. It's not broken. The eleven and twelve are throwbacks to a long time tradition. That is related to the unit 'dozen' in that twelve was (and still is) a very convenient unit*. It's also common in other languages, fore example German (elf, zwölf, and then dreizehn, etc.). Besides, there's no real analogy in your reply. We're not talking about the numbers between sixty and seventy - we're talking about the fact that they don't even have seventy (and beyond). * Entire Societies believe this to be rather significant - click this link
