Fair enough, but there is no "X" in modern Turkish and no word starting with "ks" except some prefixes loaned from Greek like xeno, xylo, so I'm not sure what you mean: which dialects are there that have no word-starting K sound and have word-starting X sound?
To convince people of the "perfect" phonetic match you should compare frequencies of bigrams and trigrams to prove that there is no big mismatch and also pinpoint the closest (known) dialect. Have you done this study yet?
Another thing that would be persuasive is to show how any grammatical rule is applied consistently in the VMs.
