A mi édes magyar nyelvünk

This work opens with a heartfelt appeal to every Hungarian who loves their mother tongue. The author argues that language is a nation’s deepest treasure, reflecting its spirit, thought and feeling, and urges readers to protect it from unchecked foreign influence. By tracing how German and other loan‑words have slipped into everyday speech, the book shows how subtle erosion can turn vibrant expression into a diluted echo.

Written for a broad audience—students, teachers, writers, journalists and civic leaders—the text balances passionate advocacy with practical guidance. It warns against both extremes: the obsessive eradication of every foreign term and the careless indifference that lets linguistic decay go unnoticed. Through clear examples and gentle humor, the author invites us to choose thoughtful alternatives and to cherish the richness of Hungarian without denying the inevitable flow of language.
