It's interesting you mention the relationship with Turkish. I had a colleague that would keep mentioning the similarities while I was learning it.

I feel like during Ottoman times Hungary got quite a lot of Turkish words. And also the Baths!

The Hungarian language had more contact with Turkic languages during the migratory period before settling in the current area of Hungary (so before the 9th century). Linguistic exchange was more limited during the Ottoman times.
