Which Turkic ethnicity is genetically closest to Proto Turks?

[Nykyus]

The First Credible Turkic State is the First Turkic Khaganate with its center in Mongoliahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Turkic_Khaganate. There is no evidence that the Xiongnu were Turkic-speaking. One word preserved from the state of the Huns of Attila has a Slavic affinity. Or vice versa, the Hunnic word got into the emerging Slavic ethnos. This word is trizna. This word means a competition of the brave during a funeral.

Also these arent scientific you are just posting randomly Wikipedia sources about myth

I have more than just Wikipedia. These are the works of Soviet scientists and orientalists based on Chinese sources. But I didn't include genetics.

Interestingly, all the Turkic peoples of Central Asia in the 10-11 centuries spoke a single Turkic language with small dialect differences. This statement is based on the work of Mahmud Kashgari.
But Mahmud Kashgari did not know the Chuvashes and Yakuts, remote and isolated peoples, because their differences between the rest of the Turkic peoples are significant.

Uighurs, probably.

Mongolia didn’t exist then, nice try. Xiongnu were most probable ancestors of Turkics, regardless which language they spoke. Since they had also non-Turkic-related people like Iranics or others inside them, it is difficult to say how homogeneous or heterogeneous they were.

Uighurs, probably.

Uyghurs are predominantly Turkic with a bit Sinid/Iranic influence. Early Turkics weren’t Sinid influenced.

Do you support their large scale resettlement in Turkey? After all, they are Turkic speakers and Sunni Muslims, so their integration will go smoothly.

Actually Turkish government is not very interested in any Turkic related policy, besides of that most Turks have not Turanistic ideology neither they want any migrants, not even Turkics. Personally i would support taking them from China but it is just wishful thinking, i once opened a thread about it and ended as dump for stupid thoughts. I think it is too off topic and i don’t want discuss about it nor it should be discussed here.

Mongolia was used as a geographical concept. The Xiongnu originated in Eastern Mongolia, because Western Mongolia was part of the sphere of influence of the Caucasoid race.
Here is a political map of the world 500 BC. The Xiongnu are designated number 113, the ancestors of the Mongols are number 114, further to the east are the Korean states of Buyeo, Goguryeo. Number 109 - Yuezhi, Caucasians.
