Abstrak

This chapter presents a general overview of the three language groupings, i.e. Tungusic, Mongolic, and Turkic, that are traditionally covered by the term “Altaic”. Each language family is briefly discussed in terms of its geographical distribution and classification as well as its current sociolinguistic profile, i.e. the estimates of the number of speakers. The chapter provides a detailed overview of the script systems used by the speakers of Tungusic, Mongolic, and Turkic throughout their history, such as the Jurchen script, the hPags-pa script, and the Turkic runiform script. A special focus is on the major written sources attesting the historical varieties of each family in question, most notably Manchu, Middle Mongol, and Old Turkic.
