TheSiberian Turkic orNortheastern Common Turkic languages, are a sub-branch of theTurkic language family. The following table is based upon the classification scheme presented by Lars Johanson (1998).[1] All languages of the branch combined have approximately 670,000 native and second language speakers, with most widely spoken members beingYakut (c. 450,000 speakers),Tuvan (c. 130,000 speakers),Northern Altai (c. 57,000 speakers) andKhakas (c. 29,000 speakers). Despite their usual English name, two major Turkic languages spoken inSiberia,Siberian Tatar andSouthern Altai, are not classified as Siberian Turkic, but are rather part of theKipchak subgroup. Many of these languages have aYeniseian substratum.[2][according to whom?]
