Pantagathus Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 A little off topic & a little on but did I read somewhere that Turkish is in the same language family as Korean & Japanese? They are all Altaic languages, yes...although people do question this, as it seems that the gulf between Turkish on the one hand and Japanese and Korean on the other is about as big as the Atlantic Ocean. Hehe, that's kind of my point, if it causes consternation now, and we know how Altaic speakers came to reside in prime I-E territory, imagine how confusing it would be to linguists if it happened in a prehistoric, preliterate setting! Oh and please forgive the thread hijacking but I believe I answered the initial poster's question in another thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
