The problem with anti-Altaicists their ''contact'' explanation for similarities doesn't makes sense at all! For example Hebrew and Arabic have a lot of similarity despite being from different families aka origin but they have been in contact for thousands of years. Not even in same region, country nor city, in same neighbourhoods Hebrew and Arabic speakers living next door to each others! And Hebrew and Arabic don't only share grammar similarity also vocabulary is shared, there are thousands of same or same origin words. Care to share when such a Turkic and Japanese contact happened? Nobody knows, only known contact between an Altaic language and Japanese was failed Mongol invasions which didn't last long, while it is believed both Korea and Japan took some Turkic migration in time. Even then lets see how similar their grammars are:

Even heavy usage of tense suffixes is EXACTLY same which makes really hard to translate them to English! How such a limited contact that we can't even be sure it actually happaned made grammar of those languages so similar? Lets even assume there was such a contact somehow, then how exactly Turkish and Japanese share so little vocabulary, if there was indeed such a heavy contact wouldn't it supposed to effect vocabulary as well same as Hebrew and Arabic?? It just doesn't make sense but if we accept those languages are coming from same origin aka in same language family only then it starts making sense. And vocabulary is almost entirely different anymore simply because Turkish and Japanese have been seperated for thousands of years. Vocabulary constantly changes with loan words, semantic change etc while grammar, the core of languages not so easily! So the real problem of Altaic defenders and anti-Altaicists they think such a seperation happened less than 2 thousand years ago and we can still find the evidence of shared vocabulary today, but in reality such a seperation might actually had happened over 3-4 thousands years ago and can't be proven entirely like other language families!! The worst of all those compared language families are a lot younger than even accepted ''two thousands years age'' of Altaic family which is completely ignored once again...
