The '''Altaic languages''' are a controversial family of languages of [[Eurasia]]. The usually accepted members of this family include the [[Turkic language|Turkic]], [[Mongolian languages|Mongolian]], and [[Tungusic languages|Tungusic]] language families. Some linguists place [[Japanese language|Japanese]] and [[Korean language|Korean]] in this family because all the Altaic languages are agglutinative, meaning that words and phrases are formed by putting together related syllables.

A number of linguists place the [[Uralic languages]] with the Altaic family to form the '''Ural-Altaic languages''' because the Uralic languages are aggultinative, just like the Altaic languages.
