Pardon my ignorance but who is the middle one?

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 days ago

Taizong of the Tang.

Kublai Khan, maybe?

He doesn't seem to have been turkish and I honestly can't find whoever else it's supposed to be. I was thinking Confucius but he wasn't turkish either.

Turkic not Turkish. Pedantic distinction but this includes the Uyghurs, Golden Horde, amongst others. The late tang was Turkic. But still unsure of who they are supposed to be in the picture

But it does not include Mongols, though they shared some cultural similarities they were ethnically distinct as their languages were mutually unintelligible.

Correct.
