Starostin, Dybo & Mudrak (2003)
The following Swadesh lists of Altaic reconstructions are from the  by Sergei Starostin, Anna Dybo, and Oleg Mudrak (2003). The list includes Proto-Turkic, Proto-Mongolian, Proto-Tungus-Manchu, Proto-Korean, and Proto-Japanese reconstructions from the Etymological Dictionary of the Altaic Languages. Each row corresponds to a purported cognate set.

The Proto-Altaic reconstructions below are listed only for reference, since the validity of Proto-Altaic is not universally accepted. In fact, Starostin's Proto-Altaic reconstructions are widely considered to be spurious. Altaic is a controversial language macrofamily proposal not accepted by many linguists. Nevertheless, Proto-Turkic, Proto-Mongolian (or Proto-Mongolic), Proto-Tungus-Manchu (or Proto-Tungusic), Proto-Korean, and Proto-Japanese are universally accepted as valid.

Robbeets (2020)
Below are reconstructions of basic vocabulary items in Proto-Turkic, Proto-Mongolic, Proto-Tungusic, Proto-Koreanic, and Proto-Japonic by Robbeets (2020: 647-651). Each row corresponds to a purported cognate set.
