mongolic

This not being a coincidence is the Altaic Family Hypothesis, which posits that Turkic, Mongolic and often also Japonic and/or Korean languages form a superfamily, sharing a common ancestor.

The Turkic and Mongolic peoples of the steppe have a well-developed epic tradition that goes back centuries.

Just saying so because yurt (from mongolic) reminds of shirt, skirt and Schürze, in rhyme.

Here the theory that Turkish is part of a big Altaic-Uralic family that may include also Korean, Mongolic and Japanese is taught at schools.

My gut feeling is that it is likely at least a few of the identified language families (particularly Turkish and Mongolic and Korean) are related.

You won't get actors to learn Mongolic language to play Dothraki.

Also, Mongolic is a completely different language family from Turkic.

There are at least 2 different chinese characters for iron, and the one in common use, the one you mention, has a different old chinese pronunciation (from the turko-mongolic word).

I would assume that the field army was mostly Turkic, as Turkic peoples were more numerous than Mongolic peoples and their societies and styles of warfare were similar.

I have heard that hangul and Mongolic script are related, which might explain how the king was able to create a fully featured beautiful script like that in one go.

(Albeit again a standardized form instead of the full spectrum of Mongolic languages and dialects spoken throughout China.) Those changes are unlikely to lead to phasing out official use of Mongolian in China anytime soon.

> In the Dzungar genocide the Manchus exterminated the native Buddhist Dzungar Oirat Mongolic speaking people from their homeland of Dzungaria in Northern Xinjiang and resettled the area with a variety of different ethnic groups.

The Mongolic ("Islamic") invasions from Central Asia starting in the late middle ages were quite comparable in their violence.

In the 1930s, Finnish scientists spent a lot of time “proving” to their German counterparts that Finns are an Aryan group rather than part of the Mongolic race.

Dongxiang (aka Sarta, a Mongolic language) comes to mind --- "Dongxiang Xiao'erjing" manuscripts are almost completely ignored among Anglophone scholars, and the only publications about it are in obscure regional journals in Gansu.

And I would add, the lack of existence of an "Altaic" common ancestor to Mongolic, Turkic, Tungusic, and Koreanic says nothing about potential connections between Uralic and any of those 4 independent languages.

There are other gods in Turkic/Mongolic pantheon, like ülgen/ulgan, yer tengri (earth god).

That could be one of the reasons why we have Turkic languages spread across the vast territory instead of Mongolic.

What I find interesting is that the primary Turkic/Mongolic deity, Tengri, is also a sky father.
