Do Hungarians tend to speak in a loud, strong voice like the Spanish or Italian, or do they speak more softly?

Question

... in general. Do they fit in with the top-of-your-lungs southern Europeans or do they speak more like the quiet northern-European group?

Answer 1

I am a Hungarian, and I think we are not as loud as the southern nations, we are rather shy sometimes, and querolous: ). But we dont even fit into the reserved northern people. In between, somewhere. We are very similar to the Polish and Czechs.

Answer 2

Funny, I feel like Spanish speakers speak pretty quietly in comparison to Americans. They do speak in a higher pitch, generally, though. Is that what you're percieving as volume?

Answer 3

thousands years ago Finnish(Finland) Estonians Turks(Turkey) and Hungarians were one people one nation but now those are 4 different countries and different languages so when they speak if you don't know any of these languages when you hear them speaking you can not mace any difference,only the Finns end Estonians they have in common language.

Answer 4

I can only think of three Hungarians I've met--two of whom spent a fair proportion of their lives in Canada--but they're all (two men and a woman) relatively soft-spoken.

Answer 5

It depends on ones personality. I found them very nice and more toward quiet. Their language sounds like Finnish language even those languages are not really related. People tend to be more "out going" with their own language...unless they are drunk.

Answer 6

loud and strong
