ON THE ANCIENT RELATIONS BETWEEN THE TURKIC AND KOREAN PEOPLES

Özet

In early periods there lived mainly Turkic, Mongol, Tungus, Manchu and
Korean tribes in the northern and northeastern parts of the Asian Continent and
they were neighbors to each other. According to linguistic studies of some
researchers, those tribes in the origin were belonged to one linguistic family, i.e. to
Altai Language Family and during the historical process they separated into several
modern languages. However, today the relativity of Turkic, Mongol, Tungus and
Manchu languages have been clarified thoroughly, and all of these language groups
are accepted as “Altai language family” by world known linguists, the problem of
dependency of the Korean to these group hasn’t been solved yet.
