In 1533, [[Kraków]] printer [[Benedek Komjáti]] published {{ill|Letters of St. Paul in Hungarian|hu|Az zenth Paal leueley magyar nyeluen|vertical-align=sup}} (modern orthography: {{lang|hu|A Szent Pál levelei magyar nyelven}}), the first Hungarian-language book set in [[movable type]].

By the 17th century, the language already closely resembled its present-day form, although two of the past tenses remained in use. German, Italian and French loans also began to appear. Further Turkish words were borrowed during the period of [[Ottoman Hungary|Ottoman rule]] (1541 to 1699).

In the 19th century, a group of writers, most notably [[Ferenc Kazinczy]], spearheaded a process of ''nyelvújítás'' ([[language revitalization]]). Some words were shortened (''győzedelem'' > ''győzelem'', 'victory' or 'triumph'); a number of [[dialect]]al words spread nationally (''e.g.'', ''cselleng'' 'dawdle'); extinct words were reintroduced (''dísz'', 'décor'); a wide range of expressions were [[neologism|coined]] using the various derivative suffixes; and some other, less frequently used methods of expanding the language were utilized. This movement produced more than ten thousand words, most of which are used actively today.

The 19th and 20th centuries saw further [[language standardization|standardization]] of the language, and differences between [[mutually comprehensible]] dialects gradually diminished.

In 1920, Hungary signed the [[Treaty of Trianon]], losing 71 percent of its territory and one-third of the ethnic Hungarian population along with it.

Today, the language holds [[official language|official status]] nationally in Hungary and regionally in [[Hungarians in Romania|Romania]], [[Hungarians in Slovakia|Slovakia]], [[Hungarians in Vojvodina|Serbia]], [[Hungarians in Austria|Austria]] and [[Slovenia]].

In 2014 The proportion of Transylvanian students studying Hungarian exceeded the proportion of Hungarian students, which shows that the effects of [[Romanianization]] are slowly getting reversed and regaining popularity.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gyula |first=Szabó |date=2023-04-24 |title=Fordulat történt az Erdélyben magyar nyelven tanulók arányában |url=https://index.hu/belfold/2023/04/24/erdely-magyar-nyelvtanulas-oktatas/ |access-date=2024-05-26 |website=index.hu |language=hu}}</ref> The Dictate of Trianon resulted in a high proportion of Hungarians in the surrounding 7 countries, so it is widely spoken or understood.
