I kinda don't understand why some parts of China & Russia are in orange, while some are in yellow. I guess it is related to the naming of the provinces - i.e. if it is like an "Autonomous region" or something close to it, then it is regarded as autonomous, if the Turkic people are just part of another province, then it is "without autonomy", am I correct? I also think that you switched up the orange and yellow - judging from the map, orange means without any autonomy, while yellow is autonomous. Because the huge yellow chunk in Russian North-East is the Sakha Republic, while a yellow chunk in China is Xinjiang (autonomous region).
The dude you replied to is Jai Russian, so tread with caution, lol.
