The Altaic languages, or Altais, named after the Altai Mountains south of the western Siberian plains, were first proposed by the Finnish scholar Matthias Castelen and are in more than 60 languages, mainly in Central Asia and its immediate regions. Since the 1960s, because of the lack of idioms among linguistic groups in the language academic circles, the general beginning to deny the "Altai language system", that is, that such languages are contact with each other rather than omology, although they have similarities in grammar and vocabulary, but more exchange, borrowing, not from the same ancestral language. As a result, there are few supporters among professional scholars and are now divided into Turkic, Mongolian and Tongus.
