A possible genetic link to Altaic origin

DNA haplogroup N as a possible candidate to connect altaic language speaking populations. Haplogroup N has a wide geographic distribution throughout Eurasia, from Norway to China. Its highest frequency occurs among the Finnic and Baltic peoples of northern and eastern Europe, the Ob-Ugric and Northern Samoyedic peoples of western Siberia, and the Siberian Turkic-speaking Yakuts. After Haplogroup N arose in Southeast Asia, males carrying the marker moved to the region of North China and thence to the Altai region (South Siberia). The mutations that define the subclade N1c (old name N3) occurred either in Siberia or in Northwest China. The age of Haplogroup N1c is approximately 14,000 years. In Siberia, haplogroup N1c reaches a maximum frequency of approximately 90% among the Yakuts, a Turkic people who live mainly in the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic. However, it is practically non-existent among many of the Yakuts' neighboring ethnic groups, such as Tungusic speakers.

Your information is misleading. Yakut people do not speak Turkish.

@wolfmgl1

Sorry but you must read properly before writing this kind of strong comments.

Check wikipedia for example.

The Yakut or Sakha language belongs to the Northern branch of the Turkic family of languages. There are about 456,000 speakers....

Altaic haplogroup is C(and especially C3 subclade)not N

N is uralic(languages)haplogroup

C haplogroup originated in Altay region is very present amongst altaic peoples such as tungus,manchus,mongols and central asia Turks.

Here a map of C haplogroup distribution.

DNA haplogrup N which is most common among Uralic people is also highest among Turkic speaking Yakuts. They are isolated and not as mixed as other Central Asian Turkic tribes. It looks like a genetic link between Uralic and Altaic people. Or shows the contact between those people. This theory was strong earlier times because of grammatical and structural similarities of Uralic-Altaic languages but opposed by Uralic researchers mostly on political ground (Pseudo-Science).

@Lathdrinor For the koreans,they deeply despite southern tropical people,they would label anyone that they dislike as southern race,for example few years ago there were korean users who upload a racial video labeling southern chinese as southeastAsian,and northern chinese are mixtures of southern chinese with koreans and japanese,it gained about 150000 views before it was suspended,and the other video which claimed japanese are closest to african and negrito origin was also uploaded by a korean.

As for O haplogroup, recently it was proposed that there exists an "East Asian" super language family consisting of Sino-Tibetan, Austroasiatic, Austronesian, Tai-Kradai, and Hmong-Mien (+ various isolate languages) that would include almost all the O descendants. Against this is Korean and Japanese which despite being majority O people are Altaic (controversial) language. Simplest explanation is that Korean and Japanese were Altaicized in language. O2 is proto-Austroasiatic.

@KoriSenbay

There are still conflicts about the linguistic family of Japanese and Korean, some people say that they are Altaic, others say that they are isolated languages, some people even say that they are related with Austronesian. O2b is not a typical Altaic haplogroup, it's only abundant in Korea and Japan, but its frequency is low elsewhere.

Turanism is mainly culture and language, not racial link. Hungarians are most of them European type, but the language and culture is Central Asian! If we renunce from Turanism, we shall loose our language,our culture, and the germans and slaves will assimilate us! We, the "Jobbik" Party, and the hungarian nationalists do not want this, so we really need Turanism If you are a turk nationalist, you need too Turanism,not tobe assimilated by Euro-Atlantic civilisation!

Yayoi were the people who migrated from the Korean peninsula to the Japanese archipelago 2,500 years ago. They brought civilization, agriculture, alphabet, religion, mongoloid phenotype and even linguistic influence to Japan.

I can't agree that haplogroup O is Sino-Tibetan. Actually, as far as I know, O3a3c is related to Sinitic language speaking people. O2b is a typical haplogroup of Korean and O2b1 (subclade of O2b) is a typical of Japanese (Yayoi origin). But Korean and Japanese are not related to Sino-Tibetan language family.
