text: which should i learn hungarian or turkish? i'm interested in both languages and both cultures...  i know a tiny amount of turkish already..and understand some of it's grammar...  which language is the most interesting and the best to learn?  any resourses you can suggest for me?  thank you? for turkey: turkey is basically an islamic country, so you may feel that closer to your heart. it is also a significant and decisive culture in the world and has a very long history.  on the other hand, hungarian culture has many things come from turkish peoples (words, food, lifestyle) because of the often shared history, so if you learn first about hungary, it can be a starting point for your turkish studies.  for hungary: if you’re fed up with the islamic stuff, hungarian culture would mean a bit refreshment because of the differences. hungarian language is also something very unique if you’ve been familiar only to indo-european languages so far. another great advantage is that i’ll be there for you to teach you! :)  basically, it’s your choice. there is no better or worse option. any culture can be interesting.  you can find many books about hungary at the website of the national library (see the ones in english at the link below). the second and third links are little appetizers, a glimpse of hungarian culture.
