István Keszi, the representative of the foundation's founding rights, stated:
nurturing the Hungarian language is more than a linguistic issue. The Hungarian language is also a national unifying force, which is why any initiative that helps preserve the Hungarians' mother tongue is important. In addition, it is important to recognize those who perform beyond their means in everyday life and in the field of science
István Keszi emphasized.
According to the announcement, the winners of the Hungarian Language Award were selected by the board of trustees of the Magyar Nyelvőr Foundation from among representatives of three areas: among Hungarians abroad, among those living in Hungary, and among those who did the most to achieve the foundation's goals.
