    Absolutely not. Though some major languages are related, depending on what Asian continent and/or area you wish to point at, they are not similar altogether. For example, Chinese languages and Tibetan are of the Sino-Tibetan language family, with Burmese being a distantly related language. Same can go with the South-East Asian languages, being all, but again distantly, related. Korean and Japonic languages are an exception as little is known of how they came into being, albeit several theories by linguists who study in them.

    So again, the answer is simple: no.
