== Vocabulary == [[File:Family in tyvan.png|thumb|Name of family members in Tuvan.]] Tuvan vocabulary is mostly Turkic in origin but marked by a large number of Mongolian [[loanword]]s. The language has also borrowed several Mongolian suffixes. In addition, there exist [[Ket language|Ketic]] and [[Samoyed languages|Samoyedic]] substrata.{{Citation needed|date=August 2022}} A Tuvan talking dictionary is produced by the [[Living Tongues Institute]].<ref>see [http://tuvan.swarthmore.edu/ Tuvan Talking Dictionary]</ref> In contrast with most Turkic languages, which have many Arabic and Persian loanwords that even cover some basic concepts, these loanwords are very few, if any, in Tuvan, as Tuvans never adopted Islam like most Turkic peoples.
