    IMO Poles fall into the "intermediate" group, but on the larger end of its spectrum (close to "imperial", and with imperial past). Hungarians also fall into the "medium" group, but on the smaller end.

    You can't just look at modern population sizes, but also at population history of each nation/ethnicity. For example Hungarian-speakers were almost as numerous back in year 1900 as today.

    Hungarians were among nations with the lowest birth rates during the 20th century.
    In my country, we call Hungarians "bohunks"

    It's an old-fashioned word, though, not common for decades
