This paper reviews and evaluates the volume ‘The present and future of Hungarian’, edited by Gábor Tolcsvai Nagy, from the viewpoint of the Institute for Hungarian Language Strategy. Given that the topic of the volume is the present state of this language, as well as language planning and language strategy, the Institute obviously appreciates the scientific results presented in the volume concerning an array of fields within the general area of language use. We also reflect on those results and mention our own accomplishments in the given fields. The community of the Institute see the importance of the volume in the fact that it justifies the existence of individual language planning processes and of language strategy that collectively covers those processes both in a professional and in an administrative sense and provides help for the relevant governmental background institution, the Institute for Hungarian Language Strategy, fulfilling a linking role between the world of linguistics and that of state administration, in developing an ever more professional language strategy for this language community.
