I do not know why he keeps on saying Saami language is a Finno-Ugric branch of the Altaic language family.
Saami language is a Finno-Ugric branch of the Uralic language family:

And I do not know why he is so negative about DNA-testing.
BUT. If he took a DNA-test and learned about his deep Siberian ancestry, he would find out as I did that ¾ of my Siberian genes are Altaic and this I trust applies to Saami.
Genes and language are not always a match.
So, he is sort of right and this Altaic-Turkic connection is also something one intuitively, or in one’s ‘bone-marrow’ knows.
“It comes through” if one goes
within deep enough and reflects what is there.
Is the deep Siberian ancestry an inconvenient truth?
