From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Székely The Székely (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈseːkɛj]) or Szekler people (Hungarian: Székely, Romanian: Secui, German: Szekler, Latin: Siculi) or Szekels are a subgroup of the Hungarian people[1] living mostly in the historical province of Székely Land of the Transylvania region today forming part of Romania.[2] A significant population, which descends from the Székelys of Bukovina lives nowadays in the counties of Tolna and Baranya in Hungary. In the Middle Ages, the Székely, along with the Saxons, played a key role in the defense of the Kingdom of Hungary against the Ottomans [3] in their posture of guards of the eastern border. With the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, Transylvania (including Székely Land) became part of Romania, and the Székely population was a target of Romanianization efforts.[4] In post-Cold War Romania, where the Székely form roughly a third of the ethnic Hungarian population, members of the group have been among the most vocal of Hungarians seeking an autonomous Hungarian region in Transylvania.[5] They were estimated to number about 860,000 in the 1970s and are officially recognized as a distinct minority group by the Romanian government[2] Today Székely Land roughly correponds to the Romanian counties of Harghita, Covasna and Mureş. Based on official 2002 Romanian census numbers, 1,434,377[6] ethnic Hungarians live in Romania, mostly in Transylvania. Of these, about 665,000 live in the counties of Harghita, Covasna and parts of Mureş, with a Székely majority (65%). The Székely therefore account for a significant part (45%) of the Hungarians in Romania. When given the choice on the 2002 Romanian census between ethnically identifying as Székely or as Hungarian, the overwhelming majority of Székely chose the latter. Only 150 persons declared themselves as ethnic Székely.
