The Nationalities Law of 1868 guarantees that all citizens of Hungary, whatever their nationality, constitute politically “a single nation, the indivisible, unitary Hungarian nation”, and there can be no differentiation between them except in respect of the official usage of the current languages, and then only insofar as necessitated by practical considerations.

The language of the central administrative and judicial services, and of the university, is Hungarian, but there are to be adequate provisions for the use of non-Hungarian languages on lower levels.

The consolidation is completed by the incorporation of the Military Frontier (in stages that will last several years) and of Transylvania, the latter process involving the abolition of the old “Three Nations”, except that the Saxon “university” is allowed to survive as a purely cultural institution.
