steppe niggers
Steppe peoples. I haven't heard a different or more specific term used.
They were basically a melange of ethnicities which were grouped more by language then anything else.

Pretty much.
Most just use the more PC "steppe peoples," though.
Eurasian Nomads
>>879284
They're not one language family like Germanic
The best we have is steppe nomads

Yep. Although by the late Middle Ages they were largely Turkic/Mongolic. I think the "White Huns" were actually much later to be revealed as being Eastern Iranic then believed to be Turkic or Hunnic in the past.

'Altaic' is sometimes used to lump them all together under one language family, but nobody really supports that theory anymore. 'Turanian' is a romantic term coming from Iranian mythology that's generally used by people like Turkish nationalists and isn't really taken seriously.
Steppe Nomads, Steppe Niggers, or Eurasian Nomads are the generally accepted terms.

15th to 19th century Europe just called everyone there "Tartars."
>>879284
turks and mongols that's all.
>>881823
This.
>>881823
You forgot Scythians/Sarmatians.
>>879284
Turkics+mongols.
>>879284
Huns, Turks, Mongols are generally referred to as Turko-Mongolian peoples.
The Scythians, Sarmatians, Alans, et. al. were Indo-European Iranic speakers, however, so they don't count in that blanket term. Neither do the Magyars.

Sarmatians migrated and branched off from Scythians when moving through Eurasia into Central Europe.
