Unveiling 2,000 years of differentiation among Tungusic-speaking populations: a revised phylogeny of the paternal founder lineage C2a-M48-SK1061 [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 Previous studies demonstrated Y chromosome haplogroup C2a-M48-SK1061 is the only founding paternal lineage of all Tungusic-speaking populations. To infer the differentiation history of these populations, we studied more sequences and constructed ...

Genomic Insights Into the Admixture History of Mongolic- and Tungusic-Speaking Populations From Southwestern East Asia [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 As a major part of the modern Trans-Eurasian or Altaic language family, most of the Mongolic and Tungusic languages were mainly spoken in northern China, Mongolia, and southern Siberia, but some were also found in southern China. Previous genetic surveys

Permutation test applied to lexical reconstructions partially supports the Altaic linguistic macrofamily [PDF]
Evolutionary Human Sciences, 2021 In this paper, we present the results of our analysis of the 110-item basic wordlists for four reconstructed and one ancient languages, the linguistic ancestors of five language families which are hypothesized to constitute the Altaic (a.k.a ...

Genomic Insight Into the Population Admixture History of Tungusic-Speaking Manchu People in Northeast China [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Manchu is the third-largest ethnic minority in China and has the largest population size among the Tungusic-speaking groups. However, the genetic origin and admixture history of the Manchu people are far from clear due to the sparse sampling and a ...

The homeland of Proto-Tungusic inferred from contemporary words and ancient genomes [PDF]
Evolutionary Human Sciences, 2020 The Tungusic languages form a language family spoken in Xinjiang, Siberia, Manchuria and the Russian Far East. There is a general consensus that these languages are genealogically related and descend from a common ancestral language, conventionally ...

Genomic insights into the genetic structure and population history of Mongolians in Liaoning Province [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 The Mongolian population exceeds six million and is the largest population among the Mongolic speakers in China. However, the genetic structure and admixture history of the Mongolians are still unclear due to the limited number of samples and lower ...

Phylogenetic signal and rate of evolutionary change in language structures [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Within linguistics, there is an ongoing debate about whether some language structures remain stable over time, which structures these are and whether they can be used to uncover the relationships between languages.

About millets and beans, words and genes [PDF]
Evolutionary Human Sciences, 2020 In this special collection, we address the origin and dispersal of the Transeurasian languages, i.e. Japonic, Koreanic, Tungusic, Mongolic and Turkic, from an interdisciplinary perspective.
