Hungarians

Danube nation's citizens

Hungarians are the people of Hungary, a landlocked country in Central Europe.

The term covers both citizens of Hungary and ethnic Hungarians living elsewhere—significant populations exist in Romania, Slovakia, and other neighboring countries due to border changes after World War I.

The Hungarians I met in Budapest were incredibly hospitable.
