===Siberian families===
{{main|Paleosiberian languages}}

Besides the Altaic families already mentioned (of which [[Tungusic languages|Tungusic]] is today a minor family of Siberia), there are a number of small language families and isolates spoken across northern Asia. These include the [[Uralic languages]] of western Siberia (better known for Hungarian and Finnish in Europe), the [[Yeniseian languages]] ([[Dené–Yeniseian languages|linked]] to Turkic and to the Athabaskan languages of North America), [[Yukaghir languages|Yukaghir]], [[Nivkh language|Nivkh]] of Sakhalin, [[Ainu languages|Ainu]] of northern Japan, [[Chukotko-Kamchatkan languages|Chukotko-Kamchatkan]] in easternmost Siberia, and—just barely—[[Eskimo–Aleut languages|Eskimo–Aleut]]. Some linguists have noted that the [[Koreanic languages]] share more similarities with the [[Paleosiberian languages]] than with the [[Altaic languages]]. The extinct [[Rouran language|Rouran]] language of Mongolia is unclassified, and does not show genetic relationships with any other known language family.
