Common words among the Altaic languages. Some see it is as a genetic grouping. Others see it as a "sprachbund" or linguistic area where the common words and other similarities are explained by areal borrowing instead of by genetic descent. This video focuses more on Micro-Altaic or core Altaic which includes the Turkic (including Turkish), Mongolic (including Mongolian) and Tungusic (including Jurchen-Manchu) languages. Macro-Altaic includes core Altaic plus Korean and Japonic (including Japanese). These are all agglutinative languages with SOV sentence structure.
