Through an analysis on the population distribution characteristics, either of
clustered or scattered living, of the Altaic languages in countries along the Silk
Road, this paper sets forth the orientation that the Altaic language family has
served as a cradle of multiple ancient civilizations and a circulatory geographical
chain for the spreading of civilizations; this paper, thus, demonstrates the
family relations of all languages in Altai and its contact influences, as well as
its promotion and inheritance on civilizations of social economies, cultures,
religions and languages, and its centrally pivotal role in China’s “One Belt, One
Road”. The paper comes to the argument that the Altaic language family is an
indispensably and non-neglectably important carrier for civilizations along the
Silk Road, and a golden bridge of friendship and harmony in the progress of
human civilization.
