In linguistics, "Mongolic" is sometimes, but not consistently used to include Khitan. The idea that Khitan was related to Middle Mongol, and that therefore redefining "Mongolic" to include its former Khitan sister make sense. I wonder whether words such as para-mongols and proto-mongols are in use in historical literature, but "Mongolic" in its extended linguistic sense has probably not been used in non-linguistic cycles so far. Then, promoting such a (possibly quite sensible - linguistics, after all, is the first discipline of choice to determine whether a people demonstratably included proto-mongols) extension on WP might well conflict with one or the other WP policy.

Now 4 links direct to List of Mongolic states. It may not be good choice creating separate pages such as "List of proto-Mongol states", "List of Mongol states", Category:Proto-Mongol states and Category:Mongol states etc. I searched for words "proto-Mongol state" and "Mongolic state" on search engine but nothing found for "Mongolic state": [1], proto-Mongol state of the Mujung, proto-Mongol Khitan.
