The Northeast Asia region exhibits significant linguistic diversity. It is home to several language families, including Altaic, Tungusic, Koreanic, and Japonic. The Altaic language family includes languages such as Turkish, Mongolian, and Manchu. Tungusic languages are spoken by indigenous groups in Siberia and Northeast China, while Koreanic languages are primarily spoken in North and South Korea. Japonic languages, including Japanese, are spoken in Japan. Additionally, there are several minority languages spoken in the region, such as Ainu in Japan and various indigenous languages in Siberia.
