Linguistically surrounded by alien nations, Hungarians felt isolated through much of their history. After six centuries of independent statehood (896–1526) Hungary became part of two other political entities: the Habsburg and Ottoman empires. In the 19th century it became a partner in Austria-Hungary (1867–1918).
