Abstract

A magyarországi nemzetiségek demográfiai jellemzőinek változása a 2001. és 2011. évi népszámlálás tükrében, e változások forrásai és tényezői, a disszimiláció mérésének lehetőségei | The 2011 census data indicate that the number of people identifying ties with one or more of the thirteen minorities listed in the Minorities Act increased by one and a half times (146%) compared with 2001. Overall, the increase was greatest (177%) for the question concerning ethnicity and was a little less notable (138%) with regard to the language used in the family and among friends. There was even a slight growth in the number of native speakers of minority languages (109%). In the study the authors examine the changes that have occurred in the basic demographics of Hungary’s minorities over the past ten years.
