metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: A new concept of the origin of the Altaic languages emerged in foreign publications recently.
  This concept, based on linguistic, genetic, and archaeological data, linked the ancestral Altaic
  language to the early farming cultures of the West Liaohe River. It suggests that farmers,
  speakers of the prospective Tungus-Manchu, Japanese, and Korean languages, spread outside
  this area in the eastern direction, whereas pastoralists, speakers of the Turkic-Mongolian languages,
  moved in the western direction. This article examines the archaeological foundations
  of the new concept, primarily those related to the Tungus-Manchu languages. According to
  the authors of the concepts, the Zaisanovkaya Neolithic culture of Primor’e represents the
  first Proto-Tungus-Manchu speaking population. They suppose that around 6500–4900 cal.
  BP these people broke away from the Proto-Tungus-Mongolian Hongshan culture, residing
  in Western Liaohe, and migrated to South-Central Primor’e, and then, much later, already
  from there, they spread north to the Amur basin. The idea of localizing the homeland of the
  Tungus-Manchu languages in the south or in the south of Manchuria is not new and has been
  expressed earlier. The new concept has introduced new linguistic arguments in favor of this
  idea. However, the article demonstrates that their attempts to correlate these arguments with
  archaeological data should be considered unsuccessful. The central theses of the new concept,
  which connect the spread of the Proto-Tungus-Manchu languages and agriculture, remain
  unproven, as does their connection precisely to West Liaohe farmers.
