Hungarians, also known as
Magyars , are a
nation and
ethnic group who speak
Hungarian and are primarily associated with
Hungary. There are around 13.1–14.7 million Hungarians, of whom 8.5–9.8 million live in today's Hungary (as of 2011). About 2.2 million Hungarians live in areas that were part of the
Kingdom of Hungary before the 1918–1920 dissolution of the
Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and the
Treaty of Trianon, and are now parts of Hungary's seven neighbouring countries, especially
Romania,
Slovakia,
Serbia and
Ukraine.
Significant groups of people with Hungarian ancestry live in various other parts of the world, most of them in the
United States,
Canada,
Germany, the
United Kingdom,
Brazil,
Australia,
Colombia,
Chile, and
Argentina. Hungarians can be classified into several subgroups according to local linguistic and cultural characteristics; subgroups with distinct identities include the
Székely, the
Csángó, the
Palóc, and the
Jassic (Jász) people.
