The closest widely known language to Hungarian is Finnish, but still they are very far from each other nowadays. There more closely related languages to Hungarian (from the Ugric branch of Finno-Ugric languages, Finnish is in the Finno-[Permic] branch, of course), but those languages are highly unknown for most people also those languages are spoken by only a smaller group of people (at least compared to Hungarian and Finnish which means millions). Anyway, more closely related languages of Hungarian includes (for example): Mansi and Khanty.

Finnish is considered the closest language to Hungarian based on linguistic similarities and shared features, despite not being mutually intelligible. Both languages are Uralic languages and share some common vocabulary and grammatical structures.
