Sean Connery: I don’t get it?

Yes our alphabet is absolute shit. S is sh, sz is s, zs is like s in pleasure. Of course english is much worse but hungarian is a strange combination of having a goofy alphabet and writing in general but it actually follows its own rules so its predictable and hungarians will always write the same thing in the same way. Other goofy things about the hungarian alphabet and writing:

• there are letters that are actually 2 or 3 letters combined like sz, cs, ty, dzs, etc
• even tho we have ty, ny, gy, ly; the traditional hungarian alphabet does not contain y(even tho we have some names with y in them but they come from other languages) so some old hungarian fonts only contain a small y and not the capital version Y
• yes we have a letter that is made up of three and in some cases due to grammar you can have a version that is 4 letters long. This is because we have long and short consonants. So cs becomes ccs and sz becomes ssz and in very very rare cases the dzs can become ddzs which is horrifying. But we of course have words which have a a doubled up version instead of a long version because they are compound words so instead of kulccsomó its kulcscsomó

This is a sign on the road to Budapesht near the border between Ukraine and Hungary. There’s the weird insistence in Ukraine to do a one-to-one transliteration of Cyrillic to Latin without much thought, so Ш just becomes SH… Google Maps link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/YyzH7xx7gWNJCcqA6
