<< The Szekely are  recognized (by the Magyar) as a branch of the Magyar,
sharing a similar  language and customs.  Szekelyfold was one of the three
administrative areas of Transylvania, the others being Szaszfold (Saxon) and
the Seven Counties
 (being Wallachian and Szekely). >>

Bits of further information on this.  Whether the Szekely are actually related
to the Magyar is a matter of conjecture.  They settled in the region shortly
after the arrival of the Magyars in 895. I'm not sure what is meant by three
administrative areas of Transylvania, but I do know that the three recognized
ethnic groups of Transylvania were the Saxon (German), Magyar(Hungarian) and
Szekely in the Unio trium nation (Union of the three nations) in 1437.
