Turkic languages show many similarities with the [[Mongolic languages|Mongolic]], [[Tungusic languages|Tungusic]], [[Koreanic languages|Koreanic]], and [[Japonic languages|Japonic]] languages. These similarities have led some linguists (such as Turkologist [[Talât Tekin]]) to propose an [[Altaic languages|Altaic language family]], though this proposal is widely rejected by historical linguists.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Vovin |first=Alexander |date=2005 |title=The end of the Altaic controversy: In memory of Gerhard Doerfer |journal=Central Asiatic Journal |volume=49 |issue=1 |pages=71–132 |jstor=41928378}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Georg |first1=Stefan |last2=Michalove |first2=Peter A. |last3=Ramer |first3=Alexis Manaster |last4=Sidwell |first4=Paul J. |date=1999 |title=Telling general linguists about Altaic |journal=Journal of Linguistics |volume=35 |issue=1 |pages=65–98 |doi=10.1017/S0022226798007312 |jstor=4176504|s2cid=144613877 }}</ref> Similarities with the [[Uralic languages]] even caused these families to be regarded as one for a long time under the [[Ural-Altaic languages|Ural-Altaic]] hypothesis.<ref>Sinor, 1988, p.710</ref><ref name="DRIEM 2001.

Turkic languages are [[null-subject language]]s, have [[vowel harmony]] (with the notable exception of [[Uzbek language|Uzbek]] due to strong Persian-Tajik influence), [[converb]]s, extensive [[Agglutinative language|agglutination]] by means of [[suffix]]es and [[Preposition and postposition|postpositions]], and lack of [[grammatical article]]s, [[noun class]]es, and [[grammatical gender]]. [[Subject–object–verb word order]] is universal within the family. In terms of the level of vowel harmony in the Turkic language family, [[Tuvan language|Tuvan]] is characterized as almost fully harmonic whereas Uzbek is the least harmonic or not harmonic at all. Taking into account the documented historical-linguistic development of Turkic languages overall, both inscriptional and textual, the family provides over one millennium of documented stages as well as scenarios in the linguistic evolution of vowel harmony which, in turn, demonstrates harmony evolution along a confidently definable trajectory<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=si_KlRbL1XoC&dq=10+vowels+uzbek&pg=PA391|title=Artificial Life 8|page=391|isbn=978-0-262-69281-6 |last1=Standish |first1=Russell K. |last2=Bedau |first2=Mark |last3=Abbass |first3=Hussein A. |date=25 August 2023 |publisher=MIT Press }}</ref> Though vowel harmony is a common characteristic of major language families spoken in Inner Eurasia ([[Mongolic languages|Mongolic]], [[Tungusic languages|Tungusic]], [[Uralic languages|Uralic]] and Turkic), the type of harmony found in them differs from each other; specifically, Uralic and Turkic have a shared type of vowel harmony (called ''palatal vowel harmony'') whereas Mongolic and Tungusic represent a different type.{{Citation needed|date=November 2025}}

Extensive contact took place between Proto-Turks and [[Proto-Mongols]] approximately during the [[1st millennium BC|first millennium BC]]; the shared cultural tradition between the two [[Eurasian nomads|Eurasian nomadic]] groups is called the "[[Turco-Mongol]]" tradition. The two groups shared a similar religion system, [[Tengrism]], and there exists a multitude of evident loanwords between Turkic languages and Mongolic languages. Although the loans were bidirectional, today Turkic loanwords constitute the largest foreign component in Mongolian vocabulary.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Clark |first=Larry V. |date=1980 |title=Turkic Loanwords in Mongol, I: The Treatment of Non-initial S, Z, Š, Č |journal=[[Central Asiatic Journal]] |volume=24 |issue=1/2 |pages=36–59 |jstor=41927278}}</ref>

Italian historian and philologist [[Igor de Rachewiltz]] noted a significant distinction of the [[Chuvash language]] from other Turkic languages. According to him, the Chuvash language does not share certain common characteristics with Turkic languages to such a degree that some scholars consider it an independent Chuvash family similar to Uralic and Turkic languages. Turkic classification of Chuvash was seen as a compromise solution for the classification purposes.<ref>''Rachewiltz, Igor de.''

Some lexical and extensive typological similarities between Turkic and the nearby Tungusic and Mongolic families, as well as the [[Korean language|Korean]] and [[Japonic languages|Japonic]] families has in more recent years been instead attributed to prehistoric contact amongst the group, sometimes referred to as the [[Sprachbund#Northeast Asia|Northeast Asian sprachbund]]. A more recent (circa first millennium BC) contact between "core Altaic" (Turkic, Mongolic, and Tungusic) is distinguished from this, due to the existence of definitive common words that appear to have been mostly borrowed from Turkic into Mongolic, and later from Mongolic into Tungusic, as Turkic borrowings into Mongolic significantly outnumber Mongolic borrowings into Turkic, and Turkic and Tungusic do not share any words that do not also exist in Mongolic.{{Citation needed|date=November 2025}}

[[File:Irk bitig 07.jpg|thumb|right|The 9th-century ''[[Irk Bitig]]'' ("Book of Divination") from [[Dunhuang]], written in [[Old Uyghur language]] with the [[Old Turkic script|Orkhon script]], is an important [[Ancient literature|literary source]] for early [[Turkic mythology|Turko]]-[[Mongol mythology|Mongol]] [[mythology]].]]

The first established records of the Turkic languages are the eighth century AD [[Orkhon inscriptions]] by the [[Göktürks]], recording the [[Old Turkic]] language, which were discovered in 1889 in the [[Orkhon Valley]] in Mongolia. The ''Compendium of the Turkic Dialects'' (''[[Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk|Divânü Lügati't-Türk]]''), written during the 11th century AD by [[Mahmud al-Kashgari|Kaşgarlı Mahmud]] of the [[Kara-Khanid Khanate]], constitutes an early linguistic treatment of the family. The ''Compendium'' is the first comprehensive dictionary of the Turkic languages and also includes the first known map of the Turkic speakers' geographical distribution. It mainly pertains to the [[Oghuz languages|Southwestern branch]] of the family.<ref name="Soucek">{{cite book|last=Soucek|first=Svat|title=A History of Inner Asia|url=https://archive.org/details/historyofinneras00souc|url-access=registration|publisher=Cambridge University Press|date=March 2000|isbn=978-0-521-65169-1}}</ref>

The [[Codex Cumanicus]] (12th–13th centuries AD) concerning the [[Kipchak languages|Northwestern branch]] is another early linguistic manual, between the [[Kipchak language]] and [[Latin]], used by the [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic]] [[Missionary|missionaries]] sent to the Western [[Cumans]] inhabiting a region corresponding to present-day [[Hungary]] and [[Romania]]. The earliest records of the language spoken by [[Volga Bulgaria|Volga Bulgars]], debatably the parent or a distant relative of Chuvash language, are dated to the 13th–14th centuries AD.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/edit/10.4324/9781003243809/turkic-languages-lars-johanson-%C3%A9va-csat%C3%B3 |title=The Turkic Languages |year=2021 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-003-24380-9 |editor-last=Johanson |editor-first=Lars |doi=10.4324/9781003243809 |quote="Another Turkic people in the Volga area are the Chuvash, who, like the Tatars, regard themselves as descendants of the Volga Bulghars in the historical and cultural sense.

With the [[Turkic peoples#Steppe expansions|Turkic expansion]] during the [[Early Middle Ages]] (c.&nbsp;6th–11th centuries AD), Turkic languages, in the course of just a few centuries, spread across [[Central Asia]], from [[Siberia]] to the [[Mediterranean]].

The geographical distribution of Turkic-speaking peoples across Eurasia since the Ottoman era ranges from the North-East of Siberia to Turkey in the West.<ref>[http://www.ethnologue.com/show_family.asp?subid=90010 Turkic Language tree] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120914151437/http://www.ethnologue.com/show_family.asp?subid=90010 |date=14 September 2012 }} entries provide the information on the Turkic-speaking regions.</ref>

For centuries, the Turkic-speaking peoples have migrated extensively and intermingled continuously, and their languages have been influenced mutually and through [[language contact|contact]] with the surrounding languages, especially the [[Iranian languages|Iranian]], [[Slavic languages|Slavic]], and Mongolic languages.<ref name="Johanson">{{Cite book |author=Johanson |first=Lars |url=https://www.academia.edu/84611709 |title=Discoveries on the Turkic linguistic map |publisher=Swedish Research Institute in Istanbul |year=2001 |isbn=91-86884-10-7 |location=Stockholm |publication-date=2001 |access-date=17 July 2024}}</ref>

This has obscured the historical developments within each language and/or language group, and as a result, there exist several systems to classify the Turkic languages. The modern genetic classification schemes for Turkic are still largely indebted to Samoilovich (1922).{{citation needed|date=October 2017}}

The Turkic languages may be divided into six branches:<ref name="historyofturkic">Lars Johanson, The History of Turkic.

* '''Suffix-final -G''', e.g. in the suffix *lIG, in e.g. *tāglïg

* '''Preservation of word initial *h''', e.g. in the word for "foot" *hadaq. This separates Khalaj as a peripheral language.
* '''Denasalisation of palatal *ń''', e.g. in the word for "moon", *āń

==Vocabulary comparison==
{{Unsourced|section|date=November 2025}}

The following is a brief comparison of [[cognate]]s among the basic vocabulary across the Turkic language family (about 60 words). Despite being cognates, some of the words may denote a different meaning.

Empty cells do not necessarily imply that a particular language is lacking a word to describe the concept, but rather that the word for the concept in that language may be formed from another stem and is not cognate with the other words in the row or that a [[loanword]] is used in its place.

Also, there may be shifts in the meaning from one language to another, and so the "Common meaning" given is only approximate. In some cases, the form given is found only in some dialects of the language, or a loanword is much more common (e.g. in Turkish, the preferred word for "fire" is the Persian-derived ''ateş'', whereas the native ''od'' is not in use in the standard language anymore). Forms are given in native Latin orthographies unless otherwise noted.

== Other possible relations ==
The Turkic language family is currently regarded as one of the world's primary [[Language family|language families]].<ref name="DRIEM 2001. Page 336"/> Turkic is one of the main members of the controversial [[Altaic languages|Altaic language family]], but Altaic currently lacks support from a majority of linguists. None of the theories linking Turkic languages to other families have a wide degree of acceptance at present. Shared features with languages grouped together as Altaic have been interpreted by most mainstream linguists to be the result of a [[sprachbund]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Janhunen |first=Juha A. |date=17 January 2023 |title=The Unity and Diversity of Altaic |url=https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev-linguistics-030521-042356 |journal=Annual Review of Linguistics |language=en |volume=9 |issue=1 |pages=135–154 |doi=10.1146/annurev-linguistics-030521-042356 |issn=2333-9683|hdl=10138/355895 |s2cid=256126714 |hdl-access=free }}</ref>

=== Rejected or controversial theories ===

==== Korean ====
The possibility of a genetic relation between Turkic and [[Koreanic languages|Koreanic]], independently from Altaic, is suggested by some linguists.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Sibata |first=Takesi |date=1979 |title=Some syntactic similarities between Turkish, Korean, and Japanese |journal=Central Asiatic Journal |volume=23 |issue=3/4 |pages=293–296 |issn=0008-9192 |jstor=41927271}}</ref><ref name="Star Names Li">SOME STAR NAMES IN MODERN TURKIC LANGUAGES-I – Yong-Sŏng LI – Academy of Korean Studies Grant funded by the Korean Government (MEST) (AKS-2010-AGC-2101) – Seoul National University 2014</ref><ref name="Choi1996">{{Cite journal |last=Choi |first=Han-Woo |date=1996 |title=A comparative study of Korean and Turkic: Is Korean Altaic? |url=http://altaica.ru/LIBRARY/CHOI/choi1996.pdf |journal=International Journal of Central Asian Studies |volume=1 |access-date=24 April 2019 |archive-date=12 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191212190618/http://altaica.ru/LIBRARY/CHOI/choi1996.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> The linguist Kabak (2004) of the [[University of Würzburg]] states that Turkic and Korean share similar [[phonology]] as well as [[Morphology (linguistics)|morphology]].{{Citation needed|date=November 2025}} Li Yong-Sŏng (2014) suggest that there are several [[cognate]]s between Turkic and [[Old Korean]]. He states that these supposed cognates can be useful to reconstruct the early Turkic language. According to him, words related to nature, earth and ruling but especially to the sky and stars seem to be cognates.<ref name="Star Names Li" />

The linguist Choi suggested already in 1996 a close relationship between Turkic and Korean regardless of any Altaic connections:<ref name="Choi1996" />
{{Blockquote|text=In addition, the fact that the morphological elements are not easily borrowed between languages, added to the fact that the common morphological elements between Korean and Turkic are not less numerous than between Turkic and other Altaic languages, strengthens the possibility that there is a close genetic affinity between Korean and Turkic.|sign=Choi Han-Woo|source=A Comparative Study of Korean and Turkic (Hoseo University)}}
Many historians also point out a close non-linguistic relationship between [[Turkic peoples]] and [[Koreans]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Babayar |first=Gaybullah |date=2004 |title=On the ancient relations between the Turkic and Korean peoples |url=http://journals.manas.edu.kg/mjtc/oldarchives/2004/15_779-2047-1-PB.pdf |journal=Journal of Turkic Civilization Studies |issue=1 |pages=151–155 |access-date=24 April 2019 |archive-date=13 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190713025335/http://journals.manas.edu.kg/mjtc/oldarchives/2004/15_779-2047-1-PB.pdf }}</ref> Especially close were the relations between the [[Göktürks]] and [[Goguryeo]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Tae-Don |first=Noh |date=2016 |title=Relations between ancient Korea and Turkey: An examination of contacts between Koguryŏ and the Turkic Khaganate |url=https://muse.jhu.edu/article/646472 |journal=Seoul Journal of Korean Studies |language=en |volume=29 |issue=2 |pages=361–369 |doi=10.1353/seo.2016.0017 |hdl=10371/164838 |s2cid=151445857 |issn=2331-4826 |access-date=24 April 2019 |archive-date=24 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190424183833/https://muse.jhu.edu/article/646472 |url-status=live |url-access=subscription }}</ref>

==== Uralic ====
Some linguists suggested a relation to [[Uralic languages]], especially to the [[Ugric languages]]. This view is rejected and seen as obsolete by mainstream linguists. Similarities are because of language contact and borrowings mostly from Turkic into Ugric languages. Stachowski (2015) states that any relation between Turkic and Uralic must be a contact one.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Stachowski |first=Marek |date=2015 |title=Turkic pronouns against a Uralic background |url=https://www.academia.edu/12022061 |journal=Iran and the Caucasus |volume=19 |issue=1 |pages=79–86 |doi=10.1163/1573384X-20150106 |issn=1609-8498 |access-date=24 April 2019 |archive-date=24 November 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211124081956/https://www.academia.edu/12022061 |url-status=live }}</ref>
