>1] Genghis Khan a Kazakh? The source is one historian from Kazakhstan, and his main reasoning is that common names have meaning in the Kazakh language. A language that seems to trace it's origins to The Golden Horde centuries after the Mongols. Beyond that, most of the Eurasian Steppe had a strong history of using horse archers for millennia. That wasn't unique to the region that is now Kazakhstan. Maybe there's some more compelling argument, but the one you presented seems weak. It's possible the Kazakh language bits had some meaning lost when translated to English, as the way they are presented is somewhat embarrassing. It somewhat sounds like he's saying modern people from Kazakhstan are more closely related to the leaders of the Mongol empire, but that's a very different claim than "Genghis Khan a Kazakh."
