| Research Abstract |
I have examined the efforts of the European, Hungarian, Turkic. Manchu-Mongolian, and Japanese intellectuals towards the international trends of communication in the 19th Century Northern Eurasia. In order to clarify this theme. I have set up three language union areas, i.e. (1) Danubian Language Union. (2) Russian and Eurasian Language Union including Turkic linguistic areas. and (3) North China Language Union. The followings are the main results of my research.

But I estimate him in the sense that he tried to find out his way of description of his mother tongue. In other words, he found out how an agglutinative type of language can be examined. Therefore, the written manuscripts or the printed books written in Manchu and Mongolian in the 17th. 18th and 19th centuries are important to examine.
