 Which page of the book ""A glossary of Historical Linguistics""? 

That supports your personal opnion that ""MOST LINGUISTS REJECT ALTAIC HYPOTHESIS"" Which page of the book? I can't find it.

It says....

A hypothesis of distant genetic relationship
taking its name from the Altai mountains of central
Asia; it holds that Turkic, Mongolian and Tungusic
(Manchu-Tungusic), together comprising some forty
languages, are genetically related. More extended
versions of the Altaic hypothesis would include Korean
and Japanese, sometimes also Ainu. Various scholars in
the early and mid 1800s proposed classifications that
would group some or all of the ‘Altaic’ languages
together, but typically these were included in larger, more
poorly defined proposed affiliations, such as the now
abandoned Ural-Altaic hypothesis.(p.7)

Now abandoned is Ural-Altaic relation which was replaced with , not Altaic.

Eurasiatic Greenberg’s (2000, 2002) hypothesis of a
distant genetic relationship that would group Indo-
European, Uralic–Yukaghir, Altaic, Korean–Japanese–
Ainu, Nivkh, Chukotian and Eskimo–Aleut as members
of a very large ‘linguistic stock’. While there is considerable
overlap in the putative members of Eurasiatic and
Nostratic there are also significant differences. Eurasiatic
has been sharply criticized and is largely rejected by
specialists (Georg and Vovin 2003, 2005). (p. 58)

SO WHERE'S THE PHRASE THAT SUPPORTS YOUR PERSONAL OPNION THAT MOST LINGUSTS REJECT ALTAIC?"
