Today there are still similarities and these similarities are greater with Turks who are geographically closer to Mongols today. But back in the day, before Turks split up and migrated over such a large area Turks and Mongols lived together, they still do but I mean most Turks and most Mongols did back then. So in those days how close was the Turk lanaguage and the Mongol language? I'm sure back then there weren't so many different dialects in our languages like today, except for tribal and regional dialects but the differences in these dialects were most likely very few and insignificant.

You are right in the fact that there were lesser differences between the different dialects of Turkic in the past. Classical or Old Mongolian was also a bit more closer to Turkic than the modern dialects of Mongol are, but still it was a distinct language.

So back then if a Mongol and a Turk spoke to eachother in their own languages how much would they be able to understand?

I spoke to a Tuvan girl on the internet and she said Tuvan is heavily influenced from Mongolian. I'll ask her next time to be more specific.
