解釋/意思:

adj. a philological term which came to be used for the non-Aryan languages of the Ural-Altaic or Finno-Tartar group—sometimes extended so as to include the Dravidian tongues of India also of the agglutinative type thus erroneously suggesting affinity between non-Aryan and non-Semitic groups of languages which are probably quite unconnected.
