Talk:Sándor Petőfi

Ethnicity
Petofi's father was Serb and therefore his family name was Serbian which means that his ethnicity was Serbian (please correct it in the main page). His mother was Slovak so his mother tongue was Slovak. At the end, he culturally developed as Hungarian and he is Hungarian poet.

This article needs tidying up. Also some of the vocabulary is rather romanticised (e.g "glorious day") - a more factual account of his life would be more appropriate. Scott Moore 10:18, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Satisfied? (I leave 'glorious day' to someone with better literary sense to replace) DoDo 25 Nov 2004

Ethnicity of ancestors
The Hungarian version of this article categorically states that the Petrovics family was of Slovak origin whose ancestors had lived in Nitra county in Upper Hungary at least since the 18th century. In fact, a 17th century ancestor of Petőfi was ennobled. The Serb origin of Petőfi's father has been refuted, so why does this article still speculate about Serb origins? 2001:4C4E:2496:E400:E0D7:5E07:BC90:36B8 (talk) 19:06, 26 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Family-tree of Petöfi shows that four out of eight great-grandparent had slovak family-names.
 * One is unknown.
 * One is uncertain(Pastoralis)
 * One is germanic(Kamhall)
 * One is magyaric( Buczkay)
 * Best description of his ancestry is half-slovak by blood(?)
 * But since hungarians tend to be 1/4 german, 1/4 slavic and 1/4 magyar he could be described as 4/8 ethnic hungarian by "blood"
 * So of mixed slovak-magyar ethnicity is closer to reality.

 * He had mixed ancestry. There is nothing unusual. Fakirbakir (talk) 15:11, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
