I have been studying Gothic recently and its cool as fuck!

I'm really rusty and was never really interested in the topic but basically these days the proponents rely heavily on a book called The Thirteenth Tribe by Arthur Koestler. Presumably they think the fact that the author himself was Jewish alone somehow adds weight to their argument. Contrarily, there is no Ashkenazi blood linkage to any Turkish or Caucasic populations, and, tellingly, there is a complete absence of Oguz Turkic (ie Khazarian) words in the Yiddish language. But there are a heavy sustrata of Aramaic and Hebrew present in Yiddish, pointing directly to a Mid East origin. I did throw them a bone and offered my own at least plausible 'Out of Adiabene' theory for an Ashkenazi origin in Upper Iraq. The royal house of Adiabene and much of the nobility (and likely part of the general population) is known to have converted to Judaism in the Sassanid period. While I don't necessarily believe it to be true, it is at least plausible since the people of Sassanian Iraq at least did speak Aramaic. For those white nationalists interested in a plausible theory that denies the Ashkenazi Jews their Levantine indigeneity this might be an avenue worth exploring in my opinion.

As for what Khazarian continuity; you'll most likely find it in the Mountain Jew, the Judeo Tat, and the Kumyks of Dagrestan. The Kumyks themselves claim Khazarian descent.

Cool stuff. I know about the Kumyks primarily for their many amazing athletes, such as Muslim Salikhov.
