Hungarian Uruguayans are people born in Hungary who live in Uruguay or Uruguayan-born people of Hungarian descent.
Hungarian Uruguayans are a local ethnic minority; their presence is small but meaningful, numbering around 2,000-3,000 of which ca. 150 were born in Hungary.[2]
In 1925 was established a Society of Hungarian-Language Workers in Uruguay[3] They even had some influence within the Communist Party of Uruguay.[3]
In 1936, Hungarian migrants established the Hungarian Home of Uruguay (Hungarian: Uruguayi Magyar Otthon), an ethnic association.[4]
There is also a small Jewish-Hungarian community,[5] they established their own association in the 1920s,[6] which in turn sent their representative to the Uruguayan Central Israeli Committee.[7]
There is an immigrant branch of the Batthyány noble family.[8] [9]
