What are the Altaic speaking peoples?

The Altaic peoples are a family of many races spreading from East to West. They are a melting pot of faces, history, and cultures. Their looks differ, depending on where they live. The more west you go the more Eurasian they look and the more east you go the more Siberian Asian they look. The proto Altaic are believed to be mostly Northern Siberian Asian and sometimes semi Asian. As the migration of Altaic people started, one group started migrating towards Europe, Russia, and the Middle East while another the group migrated towards Siberia, Northern China (Manchuria), the Korean Peninsula, and finally the islands of Japan.

What about the Altaic languages?
