In Czech, you can refer to someone as a Hungarian (Maďar) to say that they're incomprehensible. (If you've ever seen something written in Hungarian, you know why.)
There's also the expression "<noun> je pro mě jako španělská vesnice" ("<noun> is like a Spanish village to me"), meaning "I can't understand anything about it".
And you can also say that a place is like a "židovská škola" (Jewish school), meaning it's a mess where everyone is shouting over each other and noone can understand anyone else - either literally or figuratively.
