Hungarian belongs to the Finno-Ugric language family which itself belongs to the Uralic languages. Hungarian is a very far relative of Finnish (it's told that similarities can't be more than eg between Russian and Spanish, both of these belongs to the Indo-European languages). As the name "Uralic" suggests, speakers of Uralic languages are from the area of the Ural mountain (nowadays it's part of Russia).
