Abstract

The effects of foreign languages on various languages are quite diverse. Undoubtedly, this is also true for the Hungarian language. In addition to the highly prestigious international languages of each historical period (Latin, German, Russian, English), Hungarian was also significantly influenced by the languages of neighboring peoples. In this sense, the influence of the Russian language on Hungarian can be considered to be twofold, because in addition to its role as a world language, for several decades it was in a neighborhood relationship, and from 1944–45 to 1989 it was in a very intensive relationship with the Hungarian language. In this paper, we try to present the names of collective farms (kolkhozes) created on the Soviet model and the names of jobs people performed there, as well as the diversity of the names.
