The study hypothesizes that Hungarian speakers favor Inner Circle varieties (e.g., British, American, and Scottish English) over Outer (e.g., Indian and Nigerian English) and Expanding Circle varieties (e.g., Hungarian and Argentinian English), particularly on status traits, and perceive Outer Circle speakers as non-native. A questionnaire-based study involving 182 Hungarian participants under 30 assessed audio samples from seven speakers representing these circles. The results confirmed the hypothesis: Inner Circle speakers were rated highest on both status and solidarity traits, the Hungarian speaker scored intermediately, while Outer Circle and Expanding Circle speakers received the lowest ratings. This suggests that Hungarian speakers' exposure to Inner Circle varieties through media and education influences their language attitudes, often aligning with stereotypes prevalent in native English-speaking contexts. The findings highlight the reproduction of Inner Circle language attitudes within the Expanding Circle, reflecting underlying power dynamics. This research contributes to the understanding of sociolinguistic patterns and calls for further investigation into the language attitudes of non-native English speakers towards various English dialects.
