Since the introduction of Hungarian as the offi cial language of the Kingdom of Hungary (1844) the Hungarian parliament has offi cially been called Országgyűlés (in a common but not entirely correct English translation: “National Assembly”). In the “feudal” (estate) period, no such offi cial Hungarian name was in use, and even the Latin denominations changed over time, from the 13th up to the 19th century.

By the time Czechoslovakia occupied Dunacsún (Čunovo), Horvátjárfalu (Jarovce) and Oroszvár (Rusovce) on 15 October 1947 – the three villages that Hungary had to cede in accordance with the Paris Peace Treaty – negotiations between the two parties of the Hungarian-Czechoslovakian Boundary Commission had barely begun.

The solution that Hungary found was the erection of the...
