Losonczi family of Transilvania

Finnish and Magyar are scientifically proven related
languages, yes.
(Without the research in 1700s and 1800s, we would not
know that. A Finn and a Magyar in 1600s would have
been amazed if someone had mentioned them as
linguistical relatives.)

So are English and Sanskrit, kin with each other.
I would compare those two kinships;
- not the close relationship between Finnish and
Estonian, or the close relationship between Magyar and
some Szekler dialect in Transilvania.

The paths of Finnish and Magyar separated some three
or four thousand years ago, or so.
The linguistical kinship is present in some remnants
of basic structures, those ways to agglutate phonemes
to end of words to make declensions and tenses and
such; and that some hundreds of very old words (usual
in hunter-gatherer society) have a recognizable common
root between them in both languages, although even
their pronunciation may have gone to divergent paths.
I would say that even way of putting pronunciation
weight to phonemes within words, and melody of speech,
have gone in many cases a different path. One does not
generally sound like a relative of a Finn if speaking
Magyar, and contrariwise neither too.

If in future some idealist, or ideologist, comes and
makes sermon how close Hungarian and Finnish are, it
would be well to recall that the closeness is roughly
comparable with the closeness between Sanskrit and
English.
