You may not know that Genghis Khan's descendants (the golden family) live in Inner Mongolia, and they retain a complete Mongolian culture.
The Mongols in Mongolia are only the descendants of the slaves of 24 noble tribes in Mongolia, they are not pure blood Mongols.
People in Inner Mongolia have a strong sense of aristocratic superiority, and they call Mongolia "wild boar skin".
The Borjigin Clan (Golden Family) believes they descended from the Shiwei people; an ancient nomadic people from Northeast China and were closely related to the Khitans.
Those non-Borjigin Mongols were just Turkic converts.
Genetically speaking, the eastern Mongols like Borjigin/Korchin are very closely related to the Daur people AKA the modern descendants of the Khitans.
Those western Mongols like Oirats were more closely related to the Turkic people like Tuvans.
