Teacher Discussion Forums :: View topic - Is Chinese related to Turkish? 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. Some linguists propose the Ural-Altaic grouping of the Altaic languages (Turkish, Mongolian, Kazakh, Uzbek, Tatar, Manchu, etc., plus perhaps Korean and Japanese) and Uralic languages (Hungarian, Finnish and Estonian mostly) into one language group. 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. www.eslcafe.com /forums/teacher/viewtopic.php?t=1730

Ural-Altaic languages - free-definition This theory is debated, and since nowadays even the existence of the Altaic language family is highly controversial, the Ural-Altaic theory has faced some criticism among linguists. Some linguists propose the Ural-Altaic grouping, consisting of the Altaic languages( Turkish, Mongolian, Kazakh, Uzbek, Tatar, Manchu, etc., plus perhaps Korean and Japanese) and the Uralic languages( Hungarian, Finnish, Estonian, etc.). This proposed language family is also known as Turanian. www.free-definition.com /Ural-Altaic-language.html

Altaic hypothesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia While the Uralic languages (Finnic, Ugric, Samoyedic) share important typological (particularly morphophonological) features with Altaic, the Ural-Altaic hypothesis is currently considered unproven. 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. Some have argued that there is a Ural-Altaic super-family. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Altaic_hypothesis

rat_28_ural.txt 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. The many Ural-Altaic languages--constituting the Uralic and the 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 grammatical structures of Uralic and Altaic are quite similar, and about 70 words in each group--such as the Finnish kaly, "sister-in-law," and Uigur kalin, "bride" and "daughter-in-law"--appear to be cognates. www.ufomind.com /area51/desert_rat/1995/dr28/rat_28_ural.txt

North Kyushu Creole - Kyushu and Okinawa Studies - A Forum for Research on Japan's Southern Islands By the turn of the century, evidence for the Altaic relationship led at least one scholar of Old Japanese to describe it as: "the primal extant deliverances of the whole Ural-Altaic stock" (1906: 2xxv). Murayama first of all rejected the emerging hypothesis that Japanese consisted of a Malayo-Polynesian substratum on top of which an Altaic superstratum was added at some time in the history of the language. The ancestors of the Altaic languages of Korean and Japanese were in direct contact with each other possibly as part of a single direct continuum and subsequently split up on the Northeast Asian Mainland. kostudies.com /home/content/articles/11

ORIGIN THEORIES The work by Castrén is valuable because later on scholars recognized the Altaic family as the Ural-Altaic family, which extends 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. Kim doesn’t expand further on this hypothesis because "this view is largely colonialistic." As we will see, linguistic evidence shows that the movement of people in those regions in the past was from west to east and not the opposite. The North or Altaic theory says that Korean belongs to a language family called Altaic The Altaic family has three important branches: Turkic, Mongolian, and Tungusic or Tungus. linguistics.byu.edu /classes/ling450ch/reports/korean.html

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. Quite a large number of cognates have been identified among Altaic terms for parts of the body. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Altaic_hypothesis   (550 words)

2001_10_16.txt Another speculation was the Ural-Altaic hypothesis which suggested a distant relation to the Uralic languages. According to the so-called Altaic hypothesis, the Turkish family was related to the Mongolian and Tungusian language families. I am not a linguist but if I am not mistaken, there was a lot of speculation in the 19th century about the relations of Turkish to other languages in Asia. www.ee.bgu.ac.il /~academia/2001_directory/2001_10_directory/2001_10_16.txt   (550 words)

Altaic languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ural-Altaic (a hypothesis generally rejected.) Castrén (1862) put forward a similar view, but classified Turkic with what we would now call Uralic. 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. However, its opponents explain these as borrowings or mutual influence, arguing that, although Turkic, Mongolian, and Tungusic families do have similarities, they are the result of intensive borrowing and long contact among speakers. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Altaic   (550 words)

Finno-Ugric and Turkic? In the first half of the 20th century, there were still some linguists defending the so-called Ural-Altaic hypothesis, which would have implied a relatedness between FU and Turkic. between Turkic, Mongolic and Tungusic (not to speak about Korean and even Japanese that have sometimes been associated with the Altaic group) seems to be as thinly founded as that between Finno-Ugric and Turkic. This idea, the so-called Nostratic hypothesis (see, for instance, a newspaper article by George Johnson) has been subject to a heated debate for many decades already, and there is no consensus in sight. homepage.univie.ac.at /Johanna.Laakso/fu_tu.html   (550 words)

Altai Hypothesis There seems to be a rough correspondence between Indo-European as the language family of the steppe, Ural-Altaic as the family of the deserts south of the steppe, and Finno-Ugric as the language found in the tundra north of the steppes. Similarities of European languages with the languages of India were noted throughout the eighteenth century, though it is towards the end of the century that the hypothesis is first advanced that the similarities should be explained by the concept of a single common parent language. Yet the same root can be used for oak, and in origin the word may mean nothing more than a large tree. www.shakespeare.uk.net /altai_hypothesis.html   (3568 words)

LINGUIST List 5.908: Altaic While the Uralic languages (Finnic, Ugric, Samoyedic) share important typological (particularly morphophonological) features with Altaic, the Ural-Altaic hypothesis is currently considered pass'e. This has been dismissed as irrelevant, since this proto-Altaic system bears great resemblance not only to the proto-Uralic one but also to the Indo-European one. I also believe that Poppe was not firmly convinced that Japanese belonged within Altaic, despite the fact that he wrote a foreword to Roy A. Miller's book "Japanese and the other Altaic languages". www.ling.ed.ac.uk /linguist/issues/5/5-908.html   (1723 words)

Altaic languages The Altaic family under the name "Tatar" first postulated by Schott in 1849 as family uniting Turkic Mongolian and Tungus; he the name "Altaic" to refer to what now be called Ural-Altaic (a hypothesis generally rejected.) Castrén (1862) forward a similar view but classified Turkic what we would now call Uralic. Altaic is a controversial language family including languages spoken by about 250 million people mostly around central Asia. The Japonic languages and Korean are often also included; less commonly Ainu has been suggested. www.freeglossary.com /Altaic_languages   (643 words)

Similarly the oldest Indic language is indeed recorded as part of the Hattusas archive, though appears to be the language of an invader. www.shakespeare.uk.net /altai_hypothesis.html   (643 words)
