Two things.
Hungary is the NAME of a country. It's citizens are HUNGARIAN people (adjective). The official language is Hungarian.

Hungarian is part of the Ugrian subgroup of Uralic languages, and so is not part of the Indo-European family tree. Its nearest 'relatives' are Finnish and Estonian.
14,500,000 speakers
Hungarian is the official language in Hungary.
It is an officially recognized language in Serbia and Montenegro.
Home speakers live in Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Serbia and Montenegro, Ukraine, and Austria.
Hungarian uses the Latin alphabet, with diacritics on vowels, as in á, é, Ã, ó, ú, ö, ü, Å, ű.
The first recorded Hungarian words are personal and place names quoted in foreign sources, including Arabic, Greek and Byzantine, from the 10th century. The first substantial piece of Hungarian text is the Halotti Beszéd (Funeral Oration) of 1200.
A Hungarian dictionary or phone directory can baffle a non-Hungarian reader, because its alphabet groups certain characters together and considers them as one, so that it runs:
a, á, b, c, cs, d, dz, dzs, e, é, f, g, gy, h, i, Ã, j, k, l, ly, m, n, ny, o, ó, ö, Å, p, q, r, s, sz, t, ty, u, ú, ü, ű, v, z, zs.

Hungarian.
Magyar is the Hungarian word for "Hungarian", and the Hungarian language (in Hungarian) is called "magyarul".
