Overview
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.[1]
In 1925 was established a Society of Hungarian-Language Workers in Uruguay[2] They even had some influence within the Communist Party of Uruguay.[2]
In 1936, Hungarian migrants established the Hungarian Home of Uruguay (Шаблон:Lang-hu), an ethnic association.[3]
There is also a small Jewish-Hungarian community,[4] they established their own association in the 1920s,[5] which in turn sent their representative to the Uruguayan Central Israeli Committee.[6]
