Frequently Asked Questions
How do I type Hungarian accented letters (á, é, í, ó, ö, ő, ú, ü, ű)?
Each accented vowel has its own dedicated key on the Hungarian QWERTZ keyboard.
What is the Hungarian QWERTZ layout?
A QWERTZ-based layout (Z and Y swapped) with dedicated keys for all of Hungarian's short and long accented vowels.
What is the difference between ő/ű and ö/ü?
The double acute (ő, ű) marks a long vowel, while the diaeresis (ö, ü) marks the short version. Vowel length can change the meaning of a word.
How do I type long versus short vowels?
Hungarian has separate keys for pairs like á/a and é/e, because vowel length is phonemic and distinguishes words.
How do I type the digraphs (cs, sz, gy, ...)?
They are typed as letter combinations, even though Hungarian counts them as single letters of the alphabet.
How do I type uppercase accented letters (Á, É, Ő, Ű ...)?
Use Shift with the accented key, or enable Caps Lock. All accented vowels have uppercase forms.
