the name of town Visegrd is not in hungarian
the meaning of the slavic Visegrd is high fortress (magas vr in hungarian).
the town was named visegrd firstly in a latin language document in 1009.
Visegrd homepage sad to hear slovak people cannot speak slovak in Bkscsaba (means peaceful csaba where Csaba is a hungarian male name.)
(i do not know origin, may check later)
i have some tt acquaintances who speaks slovak high-level besides hungarian as motherlanguage.
Hungarians swept abroad are managed to keep language.
very interesting thing i have confronted with not long ago.
there is a hungarian runic script on an icon of the nlaka unitarian church from 1668. and
as knowing
the szkely runes i can read "Egy az Isten" (one is the god) in the upper row even now in 2008.
nlaka wikipage you can see the first rune (upright), the double cross (means one, spell "egy" in hungarian)
that we can see also in our blazons, in hungarian and slovak as well.

credit regards.
