The term "Magyar" refers to the Hungarian people and their language, which is part of the Uralic language family. The Hungarian language is unique in Europe, as it is not related to the Indo-European languages spoken by most of its neighbors. The Magyars migrated to the Carpathian Basin in the 9th century, establishing a rich cultural and historical identity. Magyars are known for their contributions to art, music, and science. Notable figures include László Bíró, the inventor of the ballpoint pen, and Zoltán Kodály, a prominent composer and music educator. The Hungarian culture is celebrated for its folk traditions, cuisine, and festivals.
