Hungarian and the other Finno-Ugric languages have diverged thousands of years ago. They share some basic words from the hunter-gatherer time (heart, water, fish etc...), but this is apparent only for linguists as the writing and pronunciation has diverged a lot. Since then, hungarian language got a strong and more recognizable influence from turkic/slavic/germanic languages.
