Turko-mongol Origin[edit]

The article states that this is generally accepted. I have heard that their origins are more unknown and even lean towards an Iranian origin. Am I totally mistaken, or is the article wrong? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darokrithia (talk • contribs) 17:03, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

See the italicized sections. Central Asia is far from the centers of literate civilization so sources are poor and often contradictory. When I cross the standard histories I often find minor contradictions and it is difficult to know or express the degree of uncertainty of any statement. See for example the last paragraph of Hephthalite Empire#Ethnicity. For central Asian history doubt everything a little but don't complain until you have checked several sources and found something clearly better than the current Wikipedia.Benjamin Trovato (talk) 22:30, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
