Ok, fine, there is probably some common traits between Turkic, Mongolian and Tungusic. However to mash Japanese and Korean into a language family which has NOT been verified sounds ridiculous imho.

Like I said, the pro-Altaic user was making conspiratorial bullshit in which he thinks that all people who simply disagree with the Altaic family grouping are a bunch of Vietnamese trolls who think "Altaic is Austronesian" and trying to disguise themselves. To prove that this isn't simply "one man's doing" here's another comment made by user "Anti-Turkish and Japanese Channel": "Thank to my comments revealing the identity of these vietnamese pretending to be Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Thai, Malay, etc. to attack Altaic theory and Turkey, they have stopped this stupid and inhumane activity 👍👍👍👍". There are more people on the same comment section that are claiming the linguists are trying to divide their so-called "Ural-Altaic brotherhood" by excluding more and more languages. Not really bothered to post these comments here, just letting you know these people exist.

I wouldn't believe it "exists" somehow because "Oh there is a lot of likes on this video and totally little to no opposition to this video therefore the Altaic family must be real" and "Oh the Altaic people said it themselves that are similar" Ironically I found a couple of "Altaic" people disproving this theory: "Dude.. Altaic languages cannot been compared just as the word similarities.. it must be compared with the sentence structure, which is totally different than Indo-Europian.. Ural-Altaic language family has followed an order which is, Subject+Object+Verb and suffixes (personel pronouns, prepositions, tenses)... just added at the end of word." - Murat Ciftcioglu ''"I am Korean. And I don't believe that Korean, Japanese, Turkish, and Mongolian are the same language family. This hypothesis lacks grounds. Korean and Japanese have very similar grammatical structures, but basic vocabulary similarities are very low. So are Turkish and Mongolian. I think these languages are just separate languages that have been influenced by each other for a long time."'' - 베싸미

And an interesting comment: "I speak neither of the Altaic languages, but I do find similarities in terms of the way words are pronounced in the Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, and Turkic languages. Maybe this language family has a different history compared to the rest of the families, and these languages became related later in time?" - Anastasia

Of course not all Asians are not related to each other. "Asian" imho, is quite a huge grouping considering the size of Asia and the many ethnicities from many different language families.
