replies: text: Any of Togarmah's relationships would be a point of dispute.  But the purpose of the talk page is not really to get answers like that.  (We are not Yahoo!)  This page is for hashing out potential changes to the article content.  So if you wish to suggest that the article mention such a connection, the thing to do would be to research it, and see what sources can be found discussing the two names together. (You or anyone could do this).  Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 14:18, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tocharians 

message: turks are saying that they originate from oguz and kogturk. this is mistranslation and mistyping from ugar/ungar and kotrak. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kotrag
gar means tribe. hungar means xiongnu/huni tribe.  the term turkestan originates from kotrak.  modern turkish language is influenced by islam and has no connection to past turkestan or past turkestan must be called kotrakstan and not turkestan.
altsek, aljigar, kanbina, ragbina   these are all the same but they were mistyped over the centuries.
also some latin historians refer to aljigar as arkadius, althouth the root of the word gar means tribe,

thread_title: Alleged etymology

message: This article needs a lot of cleanup. Currently it is a confused mixture that utterly fails to distinguish between original biblical ethnology, modern historiography and the various medieval claims of descendance. There's a whole lot of very bad OR here, and a complete lack of proper context. Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:15, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup needed 

message: Recently, an anonymous IP address changed the name of a section from "Jewish traditions" to "Jewish aka Khazar traditions." The title contains two problems. First, the section does not include only material from Khazar Jews. It only begins with Khazar material, and then introduces regular medieval Jewish sources. Second, there is a fringe theory that modern Jews aren't "really" Jews, but are simply the descendants of Khazar converts to Judaism. The title "Jewish aka Khazar" traditions gives credence to that title. While it may be true that some Khazars converted to Judaism in medieval times, it is unjustifiable to put such a sweeping generalization as "Jewish aka Khazar" in a Wikipedia section title. It would be just as inappropriate as "Jewish aka British" or "Jewish aka African." So I reverted the change to "Jewish." 
Immediately, what is apparently another anonymous IP address came along and reverted it to "Jewish aka Khazar traditions," with a talk summary as follows: "Undid revision 764319024 by Alephb (talk) even the section correctly notes Khazars became Jewish so this isn't "fringe" so much as "a truth you don't like". As stated above, whether some Khazars converted to Judaism or not is irrelevant for our purposes right now. What is relevant is this: is "Khazar" another word for "Jew." It isn't.
