They're horselord savages and have braids. And weird swords. They rule on law of the fittest. Just like Klingons. And have a weird language they just invented.
Note that there are only few words of dothraki in books, and they had to invent all other stuff for TV - they couldn't have had dothraki talking english and everyone else
pretending its dothraki.
And why would they be a poor Klingon ripoff? do klingons ride horses and are horselords of the praerie?
Yes, ST:TNG invented warlike, semi-barbaric cultures. You must not have gotten the memo. Truth be told, among my many gripes with TNG was the fact that they reinvented Klingons for the worse from ST:TOS.
