The whole of what is called the Turanian family of speech consists of Terminational or Agglutinative languages, and this Turanian family comprises in reality all languages spoken in Asia and Europe, and not included under the Aryan and Semitic families, with the exception of Chinese and its cognate dialects.

We have examined all possible forms which language can assume, and we have now to ask, can we reconcile with these three distinct forms, the radical, the Terminational, and the inflectional, the admission of one common origin of human speech?
"Lectures on The Science of Language"
Max Müller
The chief argument that has been brought forward against the common origin of language is this, that no monosyllabic or radical language has ever entered into an agglutinative or Terminational stage, and that no agglutinative or Terminational language has ever risen to the inflectional stage.
