This Village is a Town!

Abstract

In Hungary there around 200 settlements with town functions and there are 300 towns nowadays. The fact that many towns do not have town functions make the question: do we have to make the criterias of town pronouncing more strict (make town pronouncing slower), and can the village-towns (around 100) be developed into towns'? There is no possibility, nor need according to the authors - giving town functions to the settlements and minimal growth in towns is needed - being strict in town pronouncing is opposite to the principle of justice (because the justness of some present towns can be questioned). Changing on town pronouncing is not reasonable.
