Nicholas N.
Poppe (Russian: ??????´?/??´????? ??????´???? ?????, Nikoláj/Níkolas Nikolájevic Poppe; July 27, 1897 – August 8, 1991) was an important Russian linguist. He is also known as Nikolaus Poppe, with his first name in its German form.
He is often cited as N.N.
Poppe in academic publications. Poppe was a leading specialist in the Mongolic languages and the larger Altaic language family to which, in the view of many linguists, the Mongolic, Turkic, and Tungusic languages belong.
Poppe was open-minded toward the inclusion of Korean in Altaic, but regarded the evidence for the inclusion of Korean as less strong than that for the inclusion of Mongolic, Turkic, and Tungusic.
