Mágol is one of the early languages of Tolkien. It was said to be of Hungarian style and worked on it around the years he was writing The Hobbit or earlier. The context in which Tolkien created it is not known, since it is not much connected with his legendarium.
There are at least two papers concerning Mágol. In the earliest one it is referred as "Mágo", and it was said that "Old Mágo" was the language of the children of Hurin. The second paper seems a mixture of Hungarian and Elvish.[1] Sometime later he considered making this language Orkish but rejected this idea.[2]. He marked this page with the name "Orcish" but striked it out.[1]
One word from its vocabulary is bolg meaning "strong". Tolkien once considered making this language Orkish but rejected this idea.[2]
In The Notion Club Papers Michael Ramer mentions several Ungric words like Shomorú (Hung. szomorú 'sad'[3]) 'Saturn'[4], Dalud dimran, Eshil dimzor[5], a waterfall on the world Ellor Eshúrizel [6], Gyönyörü, Emberü [7] , Gyürüchill 'Saturn' [8]
