Turks are 15% Central Asian, 45% Middle Eastern, and 40% European.
He's talking about the true, original Turks (who were assimilated by Chinese culture), all Turkic speaking people refer to themselves as Turks not just the people of Anatolia.Turks are 15% Central Asian, 45% Middle Eastern, and 40% European.
Not the Serbs, Serbs, Croatian were subjugated but never mixed with their oppressors the way the Bosniaks and Albanians did with some lesser degree applied to bulgars and macedonian slavs.Who doesn’t know this? The Turks in Anatolia mixed with Greeks, Serbs and other subjects they ruled.
I understand. I just wanted to post the information because a lot of people seem to believe this notion that Turkic speakers replaced the Anatolians, while it was only a minority who culturally dominated the majority.He's talking about the true, original Turks (who were assimilated by Chinese culture), all Turkic speaking people refer to themselves as Turks not just the people of Anatolia.
Turks of Anatolia are about as Turkish as Arabs of Chad are ArabI understand. I just wanted to post the information because a lot of people seem to believe this notion that Turkic speakers replaced the Anatolians, while it was only a minority who culturally dominated the majority.

they are known as uralic a bit different group of people who live in the most part in siberia and northern scandinavia.Finns estonians and hungarians have are linguistically and racially tied to central asians, the rest of eastern europe is just racially mixed. For example, the fact that many russians and ukrainians have a partially asiatic look.

For the Greeks it was mainly due to their historic native settlements in Anatolia from trabzon in the black sea to the rest of anatolia with the exception of the present day Kurdish lands and the now assimilated Armenian lands.
Naiman, Kereits, and Merkits are Mongol in origin, not Turks.
Most of the Kipchaks were assimilated Scythians.
That's just the diversity in their respective populations with admixture from different waves of migration... same with how many modern turks are light eyed with light hair..How do you then explain the fact that so many Bosniaks are light eyed and light haired?
Whereas many serbs look like they came straight out of Konya?
The Names of clan leaders of Naimans, Merkits, and Kereits were Turkic indicating they spoke Turkic language.
The Kereits are generally excepted to being Turkic origin later Mongolized.
There were several original Mongol tribes that were later Turkized once they moved to Central Asia like the Barlas tribe who are the tribe of Amir Timur
Volga, Crimean and Baskhir Tatars are supposedly the direct descendants of the Kipchak/Cumans, they're for the most part western Eurasian. Bashkir is literally an old Scythian tribe name.as far as the Kipchak,generally the Scythians are said to be Iranic in origin and the Kipchak are definitely Turkic as they were part of East Gokturk empire.
Any sources connecting them to Scythians?
Languages have shifted through history. It's not an indicator of bloodline. As you said many Mongols began to speak Turk languages once they crossed the Altai mountains into Scythia.
Those tribes are mongols. Naimans in Kazakhstan acknowledge they're Mongols that speak turkic langauge. Keraites are one of the most famous Mongol tribes because they were nestorian christains, and married women to Ghenghis Khan's sons and descendants.

Uigar are also very mixed now days. The Kirgiz and Kazakhs and Yakuts and Tuvans are even more “mongloid” than UigarsUighurs are what Turks in Turkey looked like before mixing with the peoples they subdued in their ottoman conquests.

Turks have existed for thousands of years beyond Ghenghis Khan. The Hongshan culture in Manchuria was likely Turkic. It was one of the principal cultures that contributed to the formation of Chinese civilization. In fact it's the first instance of Feng-Shui being used. Most of them were likely incorporated into the Han while some went into Mongolia and beyond as nomads. Btw the Ashina dynasty of the Gokturks were Saka (scyhtian) in origin.the question is what exactly is a Mongol? Because back in the 11th century Mongol ONLY refer to small Khmag mongols in North eastern Mongolia.
The Naimans in Westen Mongolia, the Kereits and Merkits in central and northwestern part and Tatars in the East weren’t called “Mongols” at all nor did they participated in the tribal meeting of the Khmag Mongols tribal confederation . After Ginggis Khan unified all these tribes in the area they came to be called as Mongols whether they were originally mongol or not.
similarly now days “Tatar” is used for all nomads from the steppe but originally it only referred to powerful Turkic tribe in Eastern Mongolia. They were the ones who poisoned Ginggis Khans’ father.
Similarly the name Türk wasn’t in use until 6th century when the Gokturk empire was born.
I am under the impression the name Türk is the parent name and Mongol is technically part of the “Turkic race”.
when prophet Muhammed peace be upon him was warning of nomads in the northeast, he used the term “Atraak” and describe them as people with flat face, small eyes, and who wear boots made of animal skin.
