Hypothesis : Traces of an original language in the Altaic Languages
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This paper presents an independent working hypothesis proposing that the structural similarities observed across the Altaic language family—including Turkic, Mongolic, Tungusinic, Koreanic, Japonic, and Ainu languages—serve as structural traces of an original ancestral language ; this paper argues that uninterrupted geographical transmission chains (such as those across the Eurasian steppe) favor the preservation of deep structural features.
