C-F1756 might be much more accurate to describe the various branches of mongolic language family, particularly due to its uncovering in sites in Mongolia and China like Jinggouzi, where proto-mongolic texts have also been found and overall their similar fragmentary distribution in Asia. It exists with an average frequency of 5% among all
mongolic groups but is rarer in turkic groups. Also, this removes some of the issues like a general absence of C-M401 from Kalmyk people but a presence thereof F1756 alongside 38% C-M48 and 10% C-M407, the blank that Dzungar genocide left in Xinjiang beyond some Oirat groups with F1756, the presence of the haplogroup in some eastern european countries and the fact that the leading chinggisid tribe of Tore in Kazakhstan belongs to F1756, while the majority of Kazakh tribes under C-M504>M401 would be of turkic background, each having their own turkic tamga, or that mongolic languages being difficult indeed could not spread further in more regions than where C-F1756 is concentrated. It also implies a greater mongolian ancestry for Kyrgyz and Uzbeks than for Kazakhs. Apparently,
C-M401 is more populous among
turkic groups, especially Kazakhs and chinese Kazakhs, but also Uzbeks, Kirghiz, Khazars, Nogai, Karachay-Balkars, Tatars, Azerbaijani, Turkish, as well as historical Turks in Mongolia. Its distribution is also reminiscent of the
Turkic khaganate of the Göktürks.
F1756 should be of Xianbei background, rendering Mongolic languages a branch of the historical
Xianbeic languages, including also para-mongolic languages, Tabghach and others. The subclade
C-F1756>F3889 would have included the linguistic ancestors of the Mongols, like it is suggested in the research
Phylogeny of Y-chromosome haplogroup C3b-F1756, an important paternal lineage in Altaic-speaking populations with subclades of F3889 representing Buryat, Yugur, Daur and Oirat branches. Other subclades of F1756 will be found in Xibe, Hui, Altaic people, presumably from a broader Xianbei origin.
So, either the starcluster C-M401 is turkic or the status of the starcluster should be transferred to C-F1756>F3889. In any case, C-F1756 is more numerous in Mongolia and C-M401 in Kazakhstan, while C-M86 is common in both countries.
