I am not an expert in that issue, but not sure about your opinion. I heard that Tajikistan is Persian, but Turkmenistan sound turkish for me. Even they look more Turkish than Persian, especially their eyes. What about there languages? Is that a kind of turkish or Persian or a half mix?

That is more of a name, such as most of Turkmenistan men name ---dow,--yew,---sy---wic, women name ---yewa,---wa.
When we read Central Asia history in centuries, firstly Mongol rush and overturn many tribes, city, oasis, kingdoms, founded the famous 4 Khanates, Persia and Turkmenistan are within the Ilkhanate. We can't ignore Persia Empire III expand to central Asia in 16th century, they migrate Uzbeks from Turkmenistan to north. Since 18th century, Russo empire enter and control the region gradually from Ufa, Orenburg to south, meanwhile Oirad Mongolia enter and control from Yenisei river to Balkhash lake area, China enter from Ili to Kirgizia, Zhetysu. In late 19th century, Russia finally control the whole area. Through ethnics division, Russia managed the central Asia separately. In order to cut off Turkmenistan and Persia connection, Russia define southern area Turkmenistan, they also cut off Kazakhstan and Mongolia connections by geographical obstruct, migrate millions of German, Polish, Ukrainian to central Asia. And Farg'ona basin claims nowadays is still a time bomb among central Asian nations. So I agree, Russia change the area deeply, vastly
"Is that a kind of turkish or Persian or a half mix?" In my opinion, Persian, Mongolian, Turkish, Russian complex mix.
If we want to make clear that issue we disagree, we need to research how central Asia is before Persia, Mongol and Russia empire enter, unfortunately, central Asian themselves records few of their history, nomad people move from places often, they seek great archaeology discovery.
