(I'm sure that this was asked before me, but I didn't found an official answer, so I ask again. Sorry for that)

On my realm (Bloodscalp) the majority of the players, som said it's about 90%, are from Hungary and / or speak hungarian as our native language (I'm hungarian too).
The non-hungarian minority of the realm often arguing about we mostly use hungarian in trade channel, in general, even in whispers, what they don't understand.

We use it, because in most cases we'll talk to a hungarian, so he/she understands it. (Of course if someone ask it, I talk to him in english), it's simpler for us, and it is a great help for those, who are too young to speak english, or just can't speak any foreign language, but would like to play World of Warcraft.

The non-hungarians are said that BS is an english-realm, so we must speak english. It would be true, if BS were a more multinational realm, but it isn't. It's hungarian, because almost everyone is hungarian.

I would like to ask an official Blizzard employee, to tell me, what is the official Blizzard attitude in these cases? Can we use hungarian, or we should use english, just because it is the language of the UI?

(Sorry for my bad english)

As far as I am aware, it is only on the forums that we enforce the usage of the appropriate language.
