Japanese: アルタイ語系諸族 - アルタイごけいしょぞく(英語表記)Altaic peoples
Altaic peoples - Altaic peoples
A general term for ethnic groups that use Altaic languages. They are widely distributed across the east and west of the northern and central Eurasian continent, covering Korea, northeastern China, Mongolia, northeast Asia, Central Asia, and Turkey. They can be broadly divided into three groups: Turkic-speaking tribes, Tungusic-speaking tribes, and Mongolian-speaking tribes (Kalmyks, Buryats, Mongols, Dagur, etc.). Their occupations include nomadic herding by the Kyrgyz and Kalmyks, farming by the Manchus and Koreans, fishing by the Tungus and Goldi, fur-hunting by the Oroks, and reindeer breeding by the Tungus. In terms of religion, shamanism is widespread, and there is also reverence for heaven or a supreme deity.
