Actually Vaskez, we do use the term 'Magyar' in English when describing the race historically - from the great migration from central Asia onward - and the race as a whole, including Magyars in Transylvania and other parts of 'Greater Hungary', as well as the name of the language.
'Hungarian' is what we call residents of Hungary - even though you guys call the place 'Republic of the Magyars' or something. Surrounding Euro states all have derivations of the name 'Hungary' too. 'Ungarn' etc. I'd say it comes from the Austrian Empire (Osterreich) days yes?
On that name, it's interesting that we use a phonetic translation -'Austria' for 'Osterreich' - even though it literally means 'Eastern Empire'. Screwy naming once again
Right Epona?
