Hungarian is a Finno-Ugric language, as are Estonian and Finnish, but anyone who would expect a kinship and intelligibility between Hungarian and Finnish will be disappointed. Hungarian music is as special as the Hungarian language. Worldfamous composers are Béla Bartók and Ferenc Liszt. Hungarian cuisine is famous for using peppers in various dishes: goulash, halászlé, Czabay sausage. Sweet dishes, various cakes, pancakes, Dobos slices are also popular.
