It affected the phoneme structure of Altaic who was living in the entire Asia continent before both languages were formed from west and east. The 7 characters format was formed through 7 musical scales in the generalization process of metallurgy for the Iron Age starting from Western Asia to Europe, Mesopotamia, India and Eastern Asia etc. The 4 lines format was consisted of 4 line poems that were written in Sanskrit languages (Indo-European languages) in Veda Temple for the 4 and 5 centuries.
