(No, it is not the Dacia Sandero) Hungarians might be more sensible than I have thought, because today I found out that in Magyar (pronounced Måhdjåhr) the third person personal pronoun is gender neutral! He/She is called... I can't write it properly but it is an o with a double ´ above it, and is pronounced "ö". Ö, however, is pronounced "öh" (a short vowel). In Hungarian all vowels have only one correct pronunciation. Long vowels are written with an apostrophe above it. a á, e é, i í, o ó and so on. Sadly, they do not have the vowel y. Whenever there is a y in a word it is a part of a consonant.
The consonants are completely counter-intuitive. "C" is pronounced "ts", "S" is pronounced "sh" and both "SZ" and "ZS" are pronounced "s"

and the great news?
colon pee.
And here we were thinking there weren't such a language. Go Hungarians!
Tsts... The Norwegian does not understand :P
The Norwegian!?! =)
Anyway, I believe there are 44 letters in the hungarian alphabet (I didn't google that, I swear!), so props to you if you learn the language ;)
Btw, do they have really big keyboards to fit all of the letters there?
no, because just like in Spanish, some letters are made up of two other letters. "Sz" is considered one specific letter, because it is not pronounced like an "s" and then "z", and any time the letters "s" and "z" are written in that order they are pronounced in one specific way. In Spanish "ll" (double L) is a "letter" in itself, pronounced "lj", as opposed to the ordinary "l"
However, they did put the "y" down between "v" and "b"...
