Hungarian press historians consider a publication called Mercurius Hungaricus, which was printed in Latin between 1705 and 1710, as the nations�s first newspaper. However, other authorities reserve this title for a weekly, also in Latin, called Nova Poseoniensis ( Pozsony News), which first appeared in 1721. ( Pozsony is the Hungarian name for the city of Bratislava, which, although now in Czechoslovakia, was the Hungarian capital during the time the Turks ruled over most of Hungary.) But although the first newspaper published in Hungarian did not come out until 1780, the next few years saw the birth of a variety of Hungarian-language periodicals . However, most of these were actually published in Vienna or Pozsony, rather than Budapest.
