I just asked a native Hungarian speaker who told me that for an
enumeration labled with letters, neither letters with diacritics (eg,
\H{o}) nor digraphs (eg, sz) would be used.

I haven't checked that. I'd have to search a bit to find such an
enumeration since arabic, Roman and roman would be used before \alph and
\Alph. I certainly can't recall ever seeing anything labelled "\'a" or
"cs" unless it was labeling things that where natively alphabetic (file
drawers, dictionaries, etc).

A Hungarian version of an alphabet song, goes

 a b c d e f g ...

Skipping \'a and cs.
