	ninemsn Encarta - Altaic Languages
		Some scholars group the Altaic languages together with the Uralic languages in a larger Ural-Altaic grouping; recent researchers, however, increasingly believe that too little evidence exists to support such a grouping.
		Altaic languages are generally characterized by an agglutinative type of suffixation, and by vowel harmony (that is, only vowels of the same colouring can occur in the same word); the vowels of the suffixes are altered so that they agree with the colour of the root vowel.
		Altaic Languages, family of 65 languages spoken by about 167 million people in around 23 different countries, in a vast area of Eurasia extending from Turkey in the west to the Sea of Okhotsk in the east.

	Altaic languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Altaic is a language family which includes 60 languages spoken by about 250 million people, mostly in and around Central Asia and Far East.
		The relationships among these languages remain a matter of debate among historical linguists, and the existence of Altaic as a family is rejected by many.
		The Altaic theory is claimed by its opponents to mainly be based on typological similarities, such as vowel harmony, lack of grammatical gender, an agglutinative typology, and loanwords.

	ral-Altaic Languages
		The Samoyed languages are the easternmost representatives of Uralic.
		But Altaic is not a language family in the same sense that Uralic is, for laws of correspondence such as those available for Uralic have yet to be discovered in Altaic.
		West Turkic went its own way, both phonetically and in terms of contact with other languages, and eventually became Chuvash, now spoken by 1,700,000 people living in the Volga Basin in the Chuvash Autonomous Republic of the former USSR.

	Turkish Literature
		The Turkish Language Institute was established in 1932 to carry out linguistic research and contribute to the natural development of the language.
		The history of the language is divided into three main groups, old Turkish (from the 7th to the 13th centuries), mid-Turkish (from the 13th to the 20th), and new Turkish from the 20th century onwards.
		The "new language" movement began in 1928, five years after the proclamation of the Republic, and the Arabic alphabet was replaced by the Latin one.

	Altaic hypothesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The main arguments used by the critics of the Altaic hypothesis (in recent years particularly Gerhard Doerfer and a number of European Turcologists and Mongolists) to discredit the hypothesis are mostly based upon criteria used in Indo-European research, criteria they seem to assume to be universally applicable.
		The Altaic hypothesis (AH) holds that there is an Altaic language family which consists minimally of the following branches: Turkic, Mongolic, Tungusic.
		In the light of such research data, maintaining the lexical borrowing argument (e.g., by arguing that in all such cases the corresponding words were lost in all Mongolic languages) could be seen as taking the anti-Altiac argument beyond its inherent limits.

		His language reforms as a result of his Westernization philosophy—for instance the replacement of the Arabic alphabet with the Latin, or "purifying" it of the Arabic and Persian words and idioms that had invaded the literary language during the Ottoman Empire— have profoundly affected the course of Modern Turkish spoken today.
		Language reform has closed the language gap that used to exist between the classes in Turkish society and a certain democratization of language and literature has occurred during the 20C.
		The official language in Turkey is Turkish and this is spoken by about 90-95% of the population.

	Turkish Embassy.org - Republic of Turkey
		Turkish belongs to the Altaic branch of the Ural-Altaic family of languages, and thus is closely related to Mongolian, Manchu-Tungus, Korean, and perhaps Japanese.
		Furthermore, during the reform period of 1839, emphasis was on theoretical linguistics whereas during the second constitutional period it was on the implementation and use of the new trend.
		Turkish is a very ancient language, with a flawless phonetic, morphological and syntactic structure, and at the same time possesses a wealth of vocabulary.

	Tungusic languages
		It is an Agglutinative language that demonstrates limited vowel harmony, and it has been demonstrated that it is derived in the main from the Jurchen language though there are many loan words from Mongolian and Chinese.
		Manchu began as the primary language of the Qing dynasty Imperial court, but by the 19th century even the imperial court had lost fluency in the language.
		In fact, the modern custodians of the language are actually the Sibe who live near the Ili River valley in Xinjiang and were moved there by Qianlong Emperor of China in 1764.

	Morphology (from Altaic languages) -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		Most of the evidence for including the Uralic and Altaic languages in one language family is based on similarities of language structure rather than on a common core of inherited vocabulary.
		Languages vary widely in the degree to which words can be analyzed into word elements, or morphemes (q.v.).
		They—and a number of lesser-known languages and dialects—are all derived from medieval Latin dialects spoken in areas of Europe governed by the Roman Empire.

	URAL-ALTAIC - LoveToKnow Article on URAL-ALTAIC
		Hence it is that the roots, which in Aryan are generally obscured, blurred, often even changed past the possibility of identification, inUral-Altaic are always in evidence, unaffected by the addition of any number of formative particles, and controlling the whole formation of the word.
		Philologists have differentiated various forms of the languages into numerous subdivisions; and considerable obscurity rests on the relationship which such languages as Japanese or ancient Accadian and Etruscan bear to the subgroups already named, which are dealt with in other articles.
		These suffixes differ also from the case and verbal endings of true inflecting languages (Aryan, Semitic) in their slighter fusion with the root, with which they are rather mechanically united (agglutinated) than chemically fused into a term in which root and relational element are no longer separable.

	Total Quality Japanese: Does Japanese have European Cousins? The Ural-Altaic Connection
		As Watanabe writes in her preface, "Comparing their language to European languages, Japanese have come to the conclusion that not only the Japanese language but the whole of Japanese culture is unique." Perhaps the time has come to encourage Ural-Altaic studies in Japan.
		In order to show languages as being related, "sets of regular correspondences" must be demonstrated, but, as languages drift apart, it can be expected that these sets may at first seem unrelated until the regularity of the changes that have created them can be established.
		Both languages have agglutinative verbs as well as some other parts of speech albeit not the same ones.

	Teacher Discussion Forums :: View topic - Is Chinese related to Turkish?
		Some linguistics propose Mongolian languages together with Turkic (of which Turkish is a member) and Tungusic, as member of Altaic languages, but this is not universally agreed.
		This theory is debated and since nowdays even existence of Altaic language family as genetical relatives is highly controversial, the whole Ural-Altaic theory has faced strong criticism among linguistics.
		The best-known member of this language family, Mongolian is the primary language of most of the residents of Mongolia.

	Altaic & Uralic Languages
		The many Ural-Altaic languages extend from Scandinavia, Hungary, and the Balkans in the west, to the easternmost reaches of the Amur and the island of Sakhalin, and from the Arctic Ocean to central Asia.
		The Turkic languages form a coherent group so knowledge of one Turkic language usually enables an investigator to analyze words and simple sentences in other Turkic languages.
		The first written traces of the Turkic languages go back to the 8th century Orkhon inscriptions found near the river Selenga in Mongolia.

	Ural-Altaic languages - UniLang Wiki
		Two groups form the Ural-Altaic family of languages: Uralic languages, which include Finnish, Hungarian and Estonian; and Altaic languages, which includes Turkish and other languages of the region, and possibly Japanese and Korean.
		Grammatically, both groups have several similarities: languages are agglutinative, follow vowel harmony and nouns do not display gender.
		However, it has not yet been possible to estabilish a correspondence regarding vocabulary, so it has not yet been proved that the two groups are actually related.

	Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 99041501
		The basic thesis of this two-volume work is that the extensively studied Indo-European family of languages is a branch of a much larger Eurasiatic family that extends from northern Asia to North America, encompassing Indo-European, Uralic-Yukaghir, Altaic, Japanese-Korean-Ainu, Gilyak, Chuckchi-Kamchatkan, and Eskimo-Aleut.
		Volume 1 deals with the distribution and forms of 72 grammatical elements in the various Eurasiatic languages, preceded by a historical introduction and a discussion of certain phonological phenomena.
		The author asserts that the numerous and interlocking resemblances he finds among the various subgroups can only reasonably be explained by descent from a common ancestor.

	Altaic languages
		To a lesser extent they also resemble the Uralic languages (such as Finnish and Hungarian), and a Ural-Altaic superfamily is proposed.
		The Altaic family of languages is found mostly around central Asia, having been distributed by the many invasions out of that corridor.
		The following languages have been postulated to belong to the Altaic group of languages; however, no empirical proof of any genetic relationship has been made so far:

		It is undeniable that the proto-Ural-Altaic language spoken by the ancestors of Turks and Hungarians must have been the same as the Sumerian language or a form of it.
		This belief was a tradition which had its roots in the Altaic shamanism and cosmic beliefs that lasted thousands of years in the past.
		The Etruscan language is not known to be an Indo-European language and neither is the language of the inscription written on the Stele from Lemnos.
