What is another word for ural-altaic?
Pronunciation: [jˈuːəɹə͡lɔːltˈe͡ɪɪk] (IPA) 
The term "Ural-Altaic" is a controversial classification used to describe a hypothetical language family that includes the Uralic and Altaic language groups. However, linguists have differing opinions on whether this language family actually exists, and there are also different label alternatives to this classification. Alternative labels include the "Uralic-Altaic" classification, which emphasizes the Uralic language group's connection to other languages in the northernmost regions of Europe and Asia. The "Altaic" label may be used instead of "Ural-Altaic," but it is also a controversial term. Additionally, the term "Turkic" is sometimes used to describe the Altaic language group. Nonetheless, the debate and discussion regarding the grouping and naming of these language families continue among linguists.
