Help me to classify my conlang
I have been working on a conlang called "Moghur" already for several months but I still have some issues to classify it, it is based on a language who evolved from the already extinct languages of Khitan and Jurchen having grammatical rules and words similar as mongolian. My first classification for it would be a "Mongolic" language but after some researches with the Buryat and Daur languages (who are also Mongolic) i realized that they are far too similar to mongolian and not independent compared with the large Turkic family. It would be nice if there could be some suggestions about the name, I've been searching a name that would suit perfectly this language but "Moghur" doesn't convince me.

Maybe you could classify it as Altaic?
The conlanger formerly known as “the conlanger formerly known as Pole, the”.

Either Altaic or Para-Mongolic (Mongolic plus Khitan). If Khitan is still too similar, you can call it a "Macro-Mongolic" language, which is a fictional category.

Altaic is the whole branch in general, I am searching for something deeper.Pole, the wrote:Maybe you could classify it as Altaic?
I've been actually thinking about "Para-Mongolic" but "Macro-Mongolic" seems also an option.mèþru wrote:Either Altaic or Para-Mongolic (Mongolic plus Khitan). If Khitan is still too similar, you can call it a "Macro-Mongolic" language, which is a fictional category.
