'''Turkic''' is a family of languages.<br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
The term '''Turkic''' derives from ''türk'', a word that is widely used in Turkic languages to denote the ethnicity of their speakers. A clear distinction between [[Turkish]] and ''Turkic'' has been made in English only since the 1950s.<br />
<br />
===Composition===<br />
<br />
*[[Bolgar]]<br />
*[[Eastern Turkic]]<br />
*[[Northern Turkic]]<br />
*[[Southern Turkic]]<br />
*[[Western Turkic]]<br />
<br />
===Validity===<br />
<br />
The Turkic languages are so closely related that the validity of the family was never in question. It was first described in some detail by Lemaréchal 1775.<br />
<br />
The composition given here follows the most recent comprehensive treatment by Schönig 1998.<br />
<br />
===Alternative compositions===<br />
<br />
Baskakov (1956) proposed an alternative to the standard classification of Turkic languages:<br />
*[[Bolgar]]<br />
*[[Northeastern Turkic]]<br />
*[[Southwestern Turkic]]<br />
However, in Baskakov (1969) he changed his mind and endorsed the standard classification by Budagov (1868).<br />
<br />
===Classification===<br />
*'''[[Altaic]]'''<br />
<br />
===Alternative classifications===<br />
*Turkic has been claimed not to be further classifiable.<br />
*[[Altaic (with Japanese and Korean)]]<br />
*[[Altaic (with Japanese)]]<br />
