Similarities between Japanese, Korean, Mongol, and Turkish Culture?

[grega94]

Hasn’t the Altaic theory been debunked? Even the similarities between Turkic and Mongolic have been shown to be the case of cultural transmission since the further back you go the more distant the languages diverge which wouldn’t be the case if they had a common ancestral language.

There is a common similarity: All of them had been at some point of history the major security threat to Imperial China. Hungary can also be added in.

Forget languages, I am also typing this in english but there's no one less germanic than me, even the Romans have spoken a foreign language (Latin). Look at other similarities, example: the ancient bulgarians had a supreme God Tangra, or "Tengri") this makes them far more mongolian than "slavic". If I'm not mistaken this was also the case in Turkey:

Japan and Korea though especially Japan are very different.

Mongolians hate Chinese ,Koreans so much but not Japanese . Mongolians are very proud of its history (Mongolian empire ) and thinks they are superior than other asians .

I dont like Mongolia . Unlike other east asian countries , Mongolians are lazy,selfish,self centered,jealous of each other , lack of moral,very angry , aggressive ,liars , dont get along with each other , stupid idiots . No wonder Mongolian violent crime rate is highest in asia and it is 10th rudest country to foreigners and 14 th unreliable country for investors in the world .

I liked your downright post. I may even love this country as a geographical location because I live here however I have also to say that I am far from being a nationalist or hardcore patriot of my ethnicity. What is amazing is that the some of characteristics you wrote about your people apply almost 100% to my people. There are so many Estonians, especially in Northern-Estonia (yes, people in my area are better than Estonians of other side of the country and that is why I am rather a patriot in my region than a country) that we can definitely say they are selfish, self centered, jealous of each other, lack of moral, angry, aggressive, liars, and don't get along with each other. (The only main difference is that Estonians have never had their own empire and there are few minutes of glory in our history and this is a major concern for our nationalists. (But not for the poster Anhity, because I don't care about nationalism))

^^ I understand Mongols hate Chinese due to historical reasons, but why Koreans? That is weird.
