The many Ural-Altaic languages extend from Scandinavia, Hungary, and the Balkans in the west, to the easternmost reaches of the Amur and the island of Sakhalin, and from the Arctic Ocean to central Asia. The first written traces of the Turkic languages go back to the 8th century Orkhon inscriptions found near the river Selenga in Mongolia. The Turkic languages form a coherent group so knowledge of one Turkic language usually enables an investigator to analyze words and simple sentences in other Turkic languages. |
