15.8.8.23:40: ORIENTALISTA ÉS MONGOLISZTIKA

I saw those words in the Hungarian Wikipedia entry on Kara György (a.k.a. George Kara) and wondered

- when is foreign s borrowed as Hungarian s [ʃ], and when is it borrowed as sz [s] - do the two correspondences indicate different strata?

- why is foreign s treated differently in orientalista 'Orientalist' and mongolisztika 'Mongol studies' - or mongolista 'Mongolist' and germanisztika 'German studies', etc.?
