You'd be surprised. Turks can speak to peoples in western China and they broadly understand each other. People from Azerbaijan can communicate with Turkish speakers almost perfectly.
Yes in the eastern hemisphere the lines on map don't really mean the same thing as in the western hemisphere, especially in central Asia and the near east. Turkic peoples are quite widespread in various pockets throughout central asia and no, they don't necessarily look mediterranean @Camile.Bidan . A guy I used to clash with in my middle school days was of Turkish extraction and he could have passed for a stereotypical russian, an armenian, an azeri or a guy from points eastward. Here is a map to better describe my point @Napoleon

All of the colored areas represent peoples who speak a Turkic language. That is some spread.

Were the original Turks Asian as in Asian looking?

Turkish is generally related to Mongolian, Korean and Japanese as a language family.

Kazakhs don't look like borat.



I think if you count all the Turks in
China and the Malays in the south, there are more Asian looking Muslims in total that all the black and Arab Muslims combined. Interesting how our reality is distorted

I had Turkish roommate who looked Italian to me. She would sometimes talk about how central Asians AND MONGOLIANS were her kin.

Central Asian are Asians, and they look like Japanese or Koreans. She told me that they are taught in Turkey that Kazakhs, Turkmens or whoever and Mongolians were their brothers.

I Still find it weird that Turkish people, who are no different than other
Mediterranean people, see Asians as their brothers and not other Mediterranean people.

This is why Russia had beef with Turkey back in the day. Old remnants of the Mongolian era. Mongols were the only ones to successfully invade parts of Russia and mix in with the locals. Its why you see Asian looking Russians. This is also the reason Russia gives zero fukks about the Tartars. They are the direct descendants of Khan that tried to take over Russia.

Doesn't mean anything where there's a will there's a way. The Russian plane got what it deserved anyway you slice it.



Also support Assad, Brehs.

I am gonna keep saying this from here on out but I truly believe if WW3 does pop off Russia and Israel will be allies.

I disagree with this. The only hostilities between Russia and Israel tend to be because of the proxies that each play. There are a ton of Russians in Israel now that escaped the Soviet Union. As their kids get older and into positions of power in Israel, I would bet they tilt in favor of Russia.

Aren't the bulk of Israelis from Russia/Soviet Union (or 2nd generation)? What's the exact %?
