really now, jews like all diaspora communities required a lingua franca to use among themselves which was usually some creolization of whatever was spoken wherever the biggest jew ghetto was at the time.

about 1/8 ashkenazi jews has some khazar ancestary, however, about 50% of ashkenazi jews have apparently more european ancestary than middle eastern ancestary, this would still demonstrate the existance of 'jews' across europe and the arabic world for pretty much forever and there's really no reason to assume that the ashkenazim who came to israel aren't really that very same ancient jewish diasporic community.
also, there were more conversions to judaism than most jews would have you believe, judaism has always been rather receptive to female converts. and of course the amount of jews who converted to other religions over the years is significant in itself.
so the khazar thing is just an attempt at an alternative historiography, shlomo sand agrees with that himself and proposes more likely narratives in his other books.
