Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While the Altaic language family is spoken across a large area of Asia, it is not actually the language family spoken by the largest number of people in the world. It is a controversial linguistic concept and its inclusion as a language family is not universally accepted by linguists. The language family spoken by the largest number of people is the Indo-European language family.
