The so-called "Mongols" of Genghis Khan were ALL Turkic-speaking guys. All Western historians first write about some strange so-called "Turko-Mongols" - Kereits, Naimans, Jalairs, Qongyrats, Merkits, Onguts (now Waqs or Uaks), etc.  - who were all Turkic-speaking nomads (and all the Western historians admit that they were Turkic speakers!) living on territories north of the Great Wall of China. And then, "for brevity"   , the Western historians start to call them just "Mongols"!!     

All the above-mentioned tribes are parts of modern Kazaks (Middle Horde - or Orta Juz).  They were Turks in 12-13 centuries and they are Turks now!  All speculations about the so-called "transfer of ethnonyms", assimilation or Turkization of the "Mongols",  is total nonsense.

Click several times on this book and read the Chapter 1, please:

This is simply not true.
Many of the peoples that joined Temuljin spoke 'turkish' languages, but many others spoke 'mongol' languages, some 'tungistic', some 'iranian' etc..

The Golden Horde fairly rapidly became 'turkish' speaking, but all the other Mongol states remained 'mongol' speakers.

Written records are in Mongol and Persian,  not Turkish.  Even Timur had to get Mongol interpreters to talk to Chagatai officials when he adsorbed the state into his empire.

Kumans or Kun as known in Magyar(Hungarian) language, are one of the tribes that joined the Hungarian kingdom.They were speaking a language "similar" to Turkish-the reaserch sais. I dont think we can say anythink for certain about anything, guess what , there were no fono records of these people speaking. Oh and one more thing,these informations are not verificable cause this IS the internet.We can talk about it but thats about it.

For Turks, the homeland isn't Turkey, nor yet Turkistan. Their country is a vast, eternal land: Turan!

Yes, it is generally considered a Cuman translation of the protestant Lord's prayer. Although its exact origin is unknown.

Absolutely not, I can understand only the "Amen" in the end.

Yea it does look more like a Slavic language.  Can someone tell me who the Cuman were?  Which Turk group were they?  Which branch they belonged to?  Thanks.

Karluk, Oghuz, Kypchak

Kypchak language(Northwestern Turkish) consist of following accents:
