Korean and the Altaic Family
Along with Japanese, Korean is known as part of the Altaic Family; however, this classification is disputed. While there is a minor issue over whether Korean and Japanese belong to the Altaic Family or not, a bigger controversy exists regarding the Altaic Family itself. A recent typology research suggests that Korean is not a part of the Altaic Family.
