Garbled English and WP:OR

The latter based upon the assertion of the Persian historian Istakhri the Khazar language was different from any other known tongue. However, he contradicts himself by linking the Khazar language to the Bulgar language, which is known to be a part of the Oghur Turkic group.

• The sentence is garbled, the latter ('latter' means one of two whereas the antecdents are three; in a new sentence it is not clear what is being referred to: thirdly there is no source used for asserting, if that is what the editor wants to put over, that Istakhri 'contradicted himself'). In short some sentence has been fudged up without attending to the sources already existing. It should be removed.Nishidani (talk) 10:40, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Translating the infobox map

The map used in the infobox is in what seems to be German, I think it would make sense to use an English version since this is an English page. EldritchEmpress (talk) 16:24, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Broken? link

In the second paragraph, last sentence, Khwarazm leads to the geographical region; it looks like it should link to Khwarazmian_Empire instead.

   The state became the autonomous entity of Rus' and then of Khazar former provinces (Khwarazm in which Khazars were known as Turks, just as Hungarians were known as Turks in Byzantium) in Volga Bulgaria. 2406:3400:21D:A8D0:9504:C433:1D85:B286 (talk) 05:01, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
