	Old Turkic alphabet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The earliest known alphabet is Kokturk (or Kok Turki) alphabet developed by Kokturks or Gokturks, Turkic tribespeople that had established a broad Central Asian empire, which reached to its zenith between 6th to 8th centuries AD.
		As a matter of fact, the Old Turkic alphabet is derived from the Aramaic alphabet which is related to the Runic alphabet.
		The second most significant alphabet after the decline of Kokturks belonged to their successors Uighurs and this alphabet was passed to the Mongols and the Manchus with small changes.

	All Empires History Forum: Huns(Xiongnu), Turks(Tujue) and Mongols (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Turks are not survivors of kokturks, as far as I can remember kokturks have been destroyed by fellow turkic tribes (tele was it?), not by Tang (well Tang used those other tribes politically...), if there were any survivors, I got no idea what became of them.
		I don't think huns and kokturks were less mighty, they lived in vastly different ages, can't compare them with such criteria.
		Technology during this time changed little to alter anything of a decisive advantage; discipline, training, morale, experience, generalship, and tactics are the decisive factors, mongols during the begining of Genghis had little technological advantage over the Turuks, in fact it hasn't changed much until the 17th century.
