Hungarians speak a language like no other major European tongue - Finnish is said to have similar roots but there are no common words.
The Magyar language is Central Asian in origin and it is very difficult to master but using a few words will be very well received locally.
Most staff in Budapest hotels and restaurants speak excellent English.
