About this person
Antal (Anton) Reguly was a Hungarian linguist and ethnographer notable for his contribution to the study of Uralic languages. In 1843-1844 he became the first ethnographer to visit the Mansi (Vogul) people to collect data on their language and folklore. Reguly's field work among the Uralic peoples of Russia ruined his health, and he died young, leaving much of the material he had collected to be edited by his successors, including Pál Hunfalvy. Reguly also visited Finland and translated parts of The Kalevala into Hungarian.
