Original Turanians were Iranian or Indo-Iranian
I think Indo-Iranian or Indo-Iranic should be placed because Central Asia was inhabited by Indo-Aryan speakers as well.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 04:19, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
 * This claim needs a reliable source. Current references say they are an ancient "Iranian" tribe and the article should be faithful to the sources. -- Kouhi (talk) 05:00, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

2300 date for avestan
I fail to find any referrence in the article under footnote 12 of the date 2300 BCE nor does it make any good sense at all. I doubt that Prods Skjervo would write anything like that. Perhaps there has been a misunderstanding. By 2300 BCE there can be no talk of Avestan (if this is meant), but probably also none of Turanian or whatever - the Indo-Iranians were only beginning to desintegrate into separate branches. Please, whoever wrote this, check the data. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:1028:838C:3BB2:31E9:6A5C:9C13:7F46 (talk) 21:40, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

Linguistics and main article
The main article is no longer than this section. They main article should be a redirect to the section in this article. Also the two articles do not even agree. So a redirect would avoid this problem. The sub-branches, this article lays them out horizontally, the main article vertically, so it takes more space. But they should be the same. This article:

Max Müller (1823–1900) identified different sub-branches within the Turanian language family:

Main article
 * the Middler Altaic division branch, comprising Tungusic, Mongolic, Turkic,
 * The Northern Ural Samoyedic, Ugriche and Finnic
 * the Southern branch consisted of Dravidian languages such as Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, and other Dravidian languages
 * the languages of the Caucasus which Müller classified as the scattered languages of the Turanian family

Müller viewed the structure of the family as follows: This needs fixing. Merge. 194.207.86.26 (talk) 08:36, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Northern Division (Ural-Altaic)
 * Tungusic
 * Mongolic
 * Turkic
 * Samoyedic
 * Finnic
 * Southern Division
 * Taic
 * Malaic (Malayo-Polynesian)
 * Bhotîya (Tibeto-Burman)
 * Gangetic
 * Lohitic
 * Munda
 * Tamulic (Dravidian)


 * What do you mean?! Have you seen Turanian languages which includes the above info? That obsolete term has nothing to do with this article. --Wario-Man (talk) 13:45, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
