What makes Hungarian hard for speech recognition
Hungarian isn't Indo-European. It builds words by stacking suffixes, so one root can produce hundreds of forms, and vowel harmony changes those suffixes. Vowel length changes meaning too ("kor" is age, "kór" is disease), and a model has to hear it correctly.
