altaic

Note that Altaic itself is considered discredited among linguists, to say nothing of the Uralic-Altaic (which never found serious purchase).

There are too many similarities between Uralic and Altaic languages that at some point in history they were considered a single language family by some experts (conveniently named Ural-Altaic).

For those who may think that Mongolians and Chinese are related; Chinese and Altaic people are not related.

If you're a native Germanic (English) language speaker, learn an Altaic one (like Japanese for example) and vice versa.

This not being a coincidence is the Altaic Family Hypothesis, which posits that Turkic, Mongolic and often also Japonic and/or Korean languages form a superfamily, sharing a common ancestor.

There's some _very_ scant evidence that it might be part of the hypothetical Altaic group of languages, but the evidence is weak at best, and only marginally more plausible than the Nostratic hypothesis.

It is understandable to be sceptical considering the scandal that was proto-altaic, however there is evidence in form of successful reconstructions of PIE languages.

It's an Altaic language [1] like Mongolian, Japanese, Korean, etc.

Please don't perpetuate the now widely discredited Altaic hypothesis.

From what I understand, among English-language communication, the Altaic language hypothesis has essentially completely bee discredited, but many linguists in Asia apparently still consider it plausible.

For example, one of the answers to the first question mentions the same Altaic root as ChatGPTs answer, and I've found multiple people that are seeing their own rephrased answers in the response.

Turkish (not just the language spoken in Turkey but spoken on a large swatch of Asia, including Kazak, Ozbek, etc.) was perviously grouped with Korean, Japanese and some other local languages as the Altaic group.

Also, the Altaic article says that there is still a small group of scholars who adhere to an "Altaic" grouping.

I’d say the situation is worse than “doubtful”—-There was never any really good evidence for Ural-Altaic.

But it often results in linguists making motivated decisions without enough evidence, like happened with the "Altaic"[1] language family.

When I first learned both Japanese and Korean, they were considered part of a "Uralo-Altaic" language family that included Finnish and Hungarian as well as some Northeast Asian languages.

In its linguistic affiliation Bulgars are counted preobladavashtiya number of modern scholars to Turk-Altaic peoples.

Unfortunately the languages between the three (Caucasians, language isolates, Tibeto-Burman, Andamanese, Turko-Mongol-Yeniseian Altaic* sprachbund etc) are much more obscure.

And that's not even including all the Altaic, Romance and other assortment of regional languages, many of which have some sort of official status.
