ETNIKUMOK ÉS FÖLDRAJZI NEVEK A MOHÁCSI-SÍKON ÉS A MOHÁCSI-SZIGETEN A 19. SZÁZAD VÉGÉIG

The Mohács Plain and the Mohács Island played a prominent role in Hungarian history. They are associated with fateful battles, the war route passing through here was the site of the march of huge armies and small troops, while it also served as a major migration route. The geographical names here are based on the medieval Hungarian names, some of which were preserved, often in modified form, by ethnic groups arriving and settling during the Ottoman period and subsequent reconstruction. Of course, they also created new geographical names. From the end of the 19th century, by the name Magyarization, many names of non-Hungarian origin disappeared from the diverse geographical names that had been formed during the process of layering.
