Ethnographic map of Greater Hungary 

This ethnographic map of Greater Hungary was designed by Károly Kogutowicz, a geography professor in Budapest. The primary criterion for classification on this map is the language that people speak most fluently. It not only delineates areas where specific languages are spoken but also highlights population density, using colour intensity to indicate density levels. Notably, Hungarian speakers constitute no more than 55% of the population in the regions depicted.
