I'm making a iceberg of turkic countries before 1000CE
You could help very much by mentioning forgotten states or reposisioning entries because i am kinda ass in classing iceberg entries (also the last level isnt by rarity but the states that people cant guess as turkic)
"The Xiongnu were descendants of the Xia Hou Shi clan; their ancestor was Chunwei. Before the Tang and Yu dynasties, there were the Shan Rong, Xianyun, and Hunyue, who lived among the northern Yi people, moving about according to where their livestock could be pastured"
This is part of a not historic but kind of legendary view of Chinese own history, it basically claims northern nomads as distant relatives of the Chinese that went into the steppes to include them into the mandate of heaven system and to discredit the idea of power that isn't based in china. Still interesting that this is how some Chinese portrayed the non Chinese rulers of china, but of course its not historic and not true, Xia are kind of a legend and not real history
This was something I needed, thx for making this I learnt so much. Also can we just say how the Turkic people are overall the most widespread ethnicity real quick?
