"Turco-Mongols" were simply Turkic-speaking Mongols. Of course, these Mongols had mixed with Iranians and Turks over time, but that's not improtant. The "Turco-Mongol" ruling caste of Medieval Central-Asian society was of Mongol descent - their alledged descent from Mongol warriors and nobles was their legitimacy to rule.

Over the centuries, these original Mongol warriors had lost their language and adopted Chaghatay-Turkic and/or Persian.
