If you are interested in comparing languages, we would recommend that you do so with Mongolian and Anatolian Turkish. The author of the page you are just about to visit did a pretty good job, though he has made a few mistakes (for example, he has overlooked the fact that although "zindan", jail or gaol, exists in both in slightly different forms, that word is not of Altai-Ural origins; it is Farsi). Nonetheless, we highly recommend it: http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~corff/im/Sprache/hugjilt.unx
