Hungarian diaspora

The Hungarian diaspora or Magyar diaspora refers to ethnic Hungarians (Magyars) living outside the borders of present-day Hungary. The diaspora can be divided into two main groups: the first group includes those who are autochthonous to their homeland, living in parts of neighbouring regions that were part of Hungary prior to the World War I Treaty of Trianon of 1920. As a consequence, 3.3 million Hungarians found themselves outside the new borders. The other main group is the emigrants who have left Hungary at various times, and their descendants. Migrations increased during certain pivotal events, notably the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the Fall of the Berlin Wall. There has been some emigration since Hungary joined the EU in 2004, especially to countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom, but those patterns have been less extensive than for certain other countries of Central and Eastern Europe, such as Poland and Bulgaria.

Additionally, there is the Magyarab people, a small ethnic group located in Egypt and Sudan.
