Hungarian keyboard (QWERTZ)
Hungarian keyboard (QWERTZ)
Hungarian QWERTZ (KBDHU) — Y/Z swapped vs US. Dedicated ö ü ó on top-row keys, ő ú after P, é á ű after L.
Hungarian QWERTZ (KBDHU) is the Windows default in Hungary — Y/Z swapped vs US, vowels on dedicated keys. Hungarian 101-key (KBDHU1) keeps US Y/Z positions for 101-key hardware.
Hungarian (QWERTZ)
Number row: ö ü ó. After P: ő ú. After L: é á ű. Y/Z swapped vs US. AltGr + E → €.
Hungarian (101-key)
Same Hungarian vowel keys; Y stays on the top row and Z on the bottom row like US QWERTY. Bottom row includes í in a slightly different position.
Acute, umlaut, double acute — and cs, gy, ny, sz as single letters.
Acute (´) — á, é, í, ó, ú
Marks long vowels: á (lászló), é (kérem), í (ír), ó (autó), ú (új). Type a=, e=, i=, o=, u= in Quick Compose or ' + vowel in TypeIt.
Umlaut (¨) — ö, ü
Front rounded vowels: ö (öt, kör), ü (ül, tükör). Quick Compose: o== → ö, u== → ü. TypeIt: " + o/u.
Double acute (˝) — ő, ű
Long front rounded vowels unique to Hungarian: ő (fő, tő), ű (tűz, hű). Quick Compose: o=== → ő, u=== → ű. TypeIt: ^ + o/u.
Vowel-only accents
Hungarian never accents consonants — unlike Czech/Slovak č, š, ž. All nine accented letters are vowels.
Common mistakes
kerem vs kérem, koszonom vs köszönöm, varos vs város. Homographs like kor (age) vs kór (choir) need context — use the accent checker.
Vowel length is phonemic in Hungarian — it can change meaning. kor (age) vs kór (choir), sor (row) vs sör (beer). Acute marks long a, e, i, o, u (á, é, í, ó, ú). Double acute marks long ö and ü (ő, ű). Short o and u have no mark.
O is short /o/ in hol, kor. Ó is long /oː/ in autó, óra. Ö is front rounded /ø/ in öt, kör. Ő is long /øː/ in fő, tő, ő. Easy Accents: o= → ó, o== → ö, o=== → ő.
U is short /u/ in tud, utca. Ú is long /uː/ in új, fiú. Ü is front rounded /y/ in ül, tükör. Ű is long /yː/ in tűz, hű, ű. Easy Accents: u= → ú, u== → ü, u=== → ű.
These count as single alphabet letters — cs comes after c, gy after g. Use the digraph toolbar for one-click insertion.

Characters like ő and ű are standard Unicode code points (U+0151, U+0171). When you copy from KeyLingo, they stay correct in Gmail, Google Docs, and PDFs — as long as the font supports Latin Extended-A (Noto, Arial, Calibri do). Decorative Unicode bios that only style A–Z leave Hungarian accents unstyled; use this keyboard for real Hungarian text, not “fancy font” generators.

A Hungarian keyboard (Magyar billentyűzet) lets you type the nine accented vowels — including the unique double acute ő and ű — plus digraph letters like cs, gy, and ny. KeyLingo combines typing, accent checking, and digraph tools in one private workspace.
Open KeyLingo Hungarian Keyboard and use Easy Accents: Quick Compose (o=== → ő, o== → ö, o= → ó) or TypeIt dead keys. Switch to Virtual Keyboard for authentic QWERTZ or 101-key layout.
Hungarian uses a 44-letter Latin alphabet with nine accented vowels and eight digraphs plus the trigraph dzs — each counts as a single letter in dictionaries and alphabetization.
Vowel length is phonemic: kor (age) vs kór (choir), sor (row) vs sör (beer), kör (circle). Acute marks long vowels (á, é, í, ó, ú); double acute marks long ö and ü (ő, ű).
cs, dz, dzs, gy, ly, ny, sz, ty, and zs are single alphabet letters — not two-key sequences for sorting. Use the digraph toolbar for one-click insertion.
Hungarian QWERTZ (KBDHU, Windows default) swaps Y and Z. Accented vowels use dedicated top-row keys: ö ü ó (after 0), ő ú (after P), é á ű (after L), and í on the bottom row. Hungarian 101-key (KBDHU1) keeps US Y/Z positions for 101-key hardware.
Hungarian uses vowel-only accents and digraphs; Slovak and Czech use consonant háček letters (č, š, ž) and different layouts. Do not use Czech ř or Slovak ô in Hungarian text.
Quick Compose: a= á, e= é, i= í, o= ó, o== ö, o=== ő, u= ú, u== ü, u=== ű. TypeIt: ' + vowel → acute, " + o/u → umlaut, ^ + o/u → double acute.
Hungarian ő, ű, ö, ü, and acute vowels are real Unicode characters — they work in email, Word, and forms when you copy from KeyLingo. Decorative Unicode “fancy text” styles usually only transform basic A–Z; accented Hungarian letters stay plain. Type full Hungarian here rather than relying on stylish generators that drop double acutes.
Disable mobile autocorrect in Easy Accents mode so = shortcuts work. Use the digraph toolbar for cs, gy, ny — they are single alphabet letters, not two keystrokes for sorting. Run the accent checker before sending email; apply homograph hints (kor/kór/kör) manually when context matters. Diaspora users on US keyboards: prefer Easy Accents or switch to 101-key virtual layout.
All typing and accent checking run locally in your browser. KeyLingo never uploads your Hungarian text to a server.
Hungarian keyboard, input methods, and privacy — answered clearly.
Use Easy Accents Quick Compose: o=== for ő, u=== for ű. Or TypeIt: ^ + o → ő, ^ + u → ű. On Hungarian QWERTZ, ő is after P and ű after L.
O is short /o/. Ó is long /oː/ (autó). Ö is front rounded /ø/ (öt, kör). Ő is long /øː/ (fő, tő). Quick Compose: o=, o==, o===.
U is short /u/. Ú is long /uː/ (új, fiú). Ü is front rounded /y/ (ül). Ű is long /yː/ (tűz, hű). Quick Compose: u=, u==, u===.
The accent hint bar uses a local dictionary. After typing kerem, apply the hint — no server calls. Homographs like jo/jó need your judgment.
Yes. They are digraphs treated as single alphabet letters — cs comes after c, gy after g. Use the digraph toolbar for one-click insertion.
QWERTZ (KBDHU) is the Windows default in Hungary with Y/Z swapped. 101-key (KBDHU1) is for US-style 101-key hardware — same Hungarian characters, slightly different key positions.
