Category:Hungarian terms with homophones

Hungarian terms that have one or more homophones: other terms that are pronounced in the same way but spelled differently.


Notes:

  • Regular homonymy due to voicedness assimilation of obstruents. If a Hungarian term ends in p, b, t, d, ty, gy, k, g, f, v, s, zs, sz, z, c, dz, cs, or dzs (letters of obstruents) and another in its voiced/unvoiced counterpart, their suffix (including -bAn/-bA/-bÓl/-tÓl/-hOz for nominals) or another compound element will neutralize their voicedness distinction and will create homophones if the latter element also starts with one of these sounds (excepting v and adding h). The remaining sounds, the sonorants (marked by j, l, m, n, ny, r) don't affect voicedness and thus don't usually create homophony.
  • Some naturalized homophones have become homonyms, e.g. party (as a gathering) is written parti in Hungarian, which coincides with an existing word. On the other hand, egyek is a homograph but not a homophone, due to its two possible pronunciations depending on its two senses.
