Regular sound correspondences between Hungarian and other Uralic languages Regular sound correspondences between Hungarian and other Uralic languages There are numerous regular sound correspondences between Hungarian and the other Uralic languages. For example, Hungarian "á" corresponds to Khanty "o" in certain positions, and Hungarian "h" corresponds to Khanty "x", while Hungarian final "z" corresponds to Khanty final "t". These can be seen in Hungarian "ház" ("house") and Khanty "xot" ("house"), or Hungarian "száz" ("hundred") and Khanty "sot" ("hundred").

Uralic languages Uralic languages. Major researchers of this period included Heikki Paasonen (studying especially the Mordvinic languages), Yrjö Wichmann (studying Permic), Artturi Kannisto (Mansi), Kustaa Fredrik Karjalainen (Khanty), Toivo Lehtisalo (Nenets), and Kai Donner (Kamass). The vast amounts of data collected on these expeditions would provide edition work for later generations of Finnish Uralicists for more than a century. The Uralic family comprises nine undisputed groups with no consensus classification between them. (Some of the proposals are listed in the next section.) An agnostic approach treats them as separate branches. Obsolete or native names are displayed in italics. There is also historical
