Right. All AHF members except Peter H who has deep knowledge on Asian culture and history called me Kim which is my surname.Sergey wrote:There are is another remarkable feature: an order of name and surname. In almost all languages it is:
Name Surname
but in Korean and Hungarian languages it is reversed. For example:
Kim Il-sung (Kim is a surname).
Szabo Istvan (Szabo is a surname)
..and? Who says that the languages are related because of that? Obivously someone made a theory, and it was accepted, hell knows why...but I could ask this about the indo european languages as well. How the hell can be a slavic language like Russian to be related to German for example. They are totally different languages, and both of them were placed into the "indo european" language group. I wonder who decided these things, and why. It is making no sense to me, and I dont care that this is the accepted theory or not, this is just a theory. Personally I think that there isnt any relations between Hungarian - Finnish or German - Russian languages.Kim Sung wrote:Hungarian and Finnish have a lot of grammatic similarities.Christian W. wrote:I cant find any similarities between Hungarian and Finnish writing to be honest.You certainly are wrong about this.these language groups.... it looks like a fairy tale
For example, postpositions are more common in Finnish than prepositions. And both languages have much inflectional grammar, a certain freedom of word order exists which is lacking in English.
No, they are related. It's no theory.Obivously someone made a theory, and it was accepted, hell knows why
But of course!What about some of the languages spoken by small communities in Russia (in places like the Urals and other possible Hungarian homeland)? Do they speak any language similar to Hungarian?
