Ural Altaic

of or pertaining to the Ural Mountains

The Ural-Altaic language family (also known as Uralo-Altaic) is an hypothetical grouping of the Uralic and Altaic  languages into one field. The word Turanian has also been used to describe the Ural-Altaic field and its people. The term is from the Transoxiana, Turān.The Ural-Altaic grouping is speculative, as it has not been proven to the satisfaction of most linguists that there is any genetic relationship between the two language families, and even the existence of the Altaic group as one family is today questioned. This could be for lack of analytic opportunity, however. On the other hand, particularly the southern and central Uralic languages have been in extensive contact with Turkic languages, which introduces a risk of interpreting exchange arising from contact as a genetic relationship.
