Like the US and the UK or Canada.
The original Normandy gave me the impression that Humans closest buddies are Turians.
They were the very first alien race humans came into contact with.
When all was going to hell in the 3rd game Turians were the very first race that agreed to give Earth a helping hand.
Our (Shepard) best friend forever is Garrus the Turian.
Tons of overlap in the combat roles of Humans and Turians. Humans are better at biotics while Turians have greater technology
There was that whole "First Contact War" you know. I would imagine that asari are pretty close to humans too, after all they are basically human shaped, can eat human food etc.
The reason for Normandy SR-1 I think was quite political to show people that humans and turians are "friends" and they can even work on something sensitive as a warship.

Don't forget about Nhilus putting your name forward as a spectre candidate
Krogan.
They're like Australians but bigger.
Quarians because we are just more beautiful humans with 2 less fingers on each hand.

Honestly, Alliance-Turian was more like US and Russia cooperation for space program... they're not exactly friendly with each other unless it was for a common cause. And you could still feel the remnant of hostility between two races in the trilogy. The Turian Empire are only willing to corporate with the Alliance because their homeworld was attacked. Everyone was simply invested with their own self-interest but if they're up to their device, they won't bother with us.
I'm not really sure all aliens are that friendly to humanity.

Don't forget smarter, more clever, tougher physically and mentally, more loyal and less selfish, with way better accents and the singular ability to outsmart universal translators.

Please, Quarians are just sub-turians without scales.
They're nowhere near the master race. If anything, the Asari are.

Lolturians. You are considered too primitive. Harby even said so.
Yeah, those asari were real masterful against the rachni and krogan. Didn't need a smarter species to uplift another better species to deal with them because they're "terrible at waging war" or anything. Their entire civilization is stolen from the Protheans too, yet they've the audacity call us thieves?
Topkek lesser races.
I'd have to say it's probably the Turians.
Humanity and the Turians may not have had the best introduction to each other, but by ME3 it does seem like they've managed to develop a kind of grudging respect and decent working relationship with each other, with the odd rivalry and friction at times because they are still far more alike than they'd want to admit.
Each being the first ones on the Council to want to join forces and offer aid to the other during the Reaper war, is kind of like watching two brothers who don't like each other, but are still willing to get into a fight to back the other one up.
None. Because saying otherwise is....
Turians or asari, I guess. There's an announcement after Udina's coup for all traffic for the human embassy to go through the asari embassy, so they have obviously close ties.
I always figured that was because the Asari are the resident diplomats and they hadn't been hit that much by the war, so they had time to pull double shifts for humanity now they were down one councillor.
By that point in the game, the Salarians were busy attempting to repel the Reapers encroaching on their turf and the Turians had far too much on their plates with Palaven being mostly on fire and trying to keep the Krogan reinforcements in line.
Turian status:
1)Enemies - Decades ago
2)Enemies with restraint - Decades ago until ME1
3)Friends with restraint - ME1 to ME3
4)Friends - ME3+?

Exactly. Even in the micro scale, Garrus' initial story was of a Turian who didn't exactly want to fit the rules/status quo, and so joined a Human against another Turian.
Between the civilizations, there was initial open hostility, then more closed hostility (the older Humans know this, and its shown through characters like Pressley), then grudging respect as time goes on and as the Citadel was saved (varied in depiction if Council was saved), growing into a stronger respect as and after the Reaper hit and are defeated.
The laughed-at supposed leak rumor of 'Mass Shift' described a remnant Alliance becoming a merging of Human and Turian militaries and a surviving Garrus put at the top or near top of its ranks. Out of all its content, this idea was one of the most believable ones. The plot has Humanity forming close ties with them no matter what, even if they may 'bicker like siblings'.
Of course there's other species you can form legendary relations with, at least depending on choices. Arguably you could include all of these: Krogan, Quarian, Geth, Salarians and Asari. But for MOST ties to HUMANITY, I'd say Turians. The Tuchanka and Rannoch stuff had a distinctly 'ties with Shepard, not necessarily all Humans' feeling to me.
Second place might be Asari. The Asari garner influence just be hanging around a space and being themselves, after all.
EDIT: That said, I get the growing sense in the trilogy that Humanity is set to expand ties with several other major species, or really all or almost all of the ones Shepard deals with - barring future plot and its twists. Quarian and Geth and Krogan (and Salarian) involvement in taking back Earth and saving the Galaxy isn't to be taken lightly. There is both/either the thing of a more united galaxy with each other, and a galaxy where Humanity is arguably at or near the 'top' (except again, in a cooperative united galaxy, at least earlier post-war). So we're getting closer ties all over the place, even if its arguably with Turians the most.
Krogan. We never did **** to them and potentially boosted their birth rates.
That doesn't mean ties though - it means gratitude. We're not necessarily going to be creating the most economic, military, cultural, etc ties with them. We just may be part of averting another outright Krogan Rebellion (as per Biowareness on many matters, I don't see a Rebellion 2.0 happening soon or a Civilized 2.0 happening soon, but just a form of both, depending on choices - if Bioware decided to use our ME3 choices).
Shepard may manage to be of the biggest part of their legends (and a Salarian too at that), but Krogan also constantly seek to make new legends for themselves so... Humanity IMO would have to still pretty constantly 'measure up'.
Which still makes Turians raw thinking about it, lol the Council had to step in before it could get worse. Humanity gave em a good sucker punch.
The strategic advantage was to the Turians who might have destroyed most to all of Humanity's extra-Sol settlements before maybe stopping themselves. Or they may have just steamrolled over and considered Humanity too much of a potential (Soft) Krogan situation that Earth would have been threatened.
On the other hand, the important aspect of Humanity's story is that it 'surprises' others (HUMANITY #1, top rule of vidia games). So I could imagine it slowing down and infuriating more and more Turians about it. Hard to imagine a lasting victory for Humanity or a ground down war though. Humans are depicted as #1 in the MEU but they're most definitely also depicted as 'mortal' (individually but I also mean collectively; plot-wise we're supposed to believe we can be extinguished/defeated).
So yeah the Council stepped in, likely knowing that Turians would have needlessly lost lives for the sake of their honor (we have to remember the only previous major conflicts outside themselves they had were against Krogan and, I dunno, criminals) and that Humanity would be needlessly grudging towards the Council afterward.

It was also written/retconned into an at least partial Cerberus ploy to obtain more Turian tech than otherwise. AKA its part of the explanation on how Cerberus could built into what it became in ME2 and ME3.
EDIT: Also, it nearly failed as a political experiment. Its at least written into ME3 canon (maybe before that? I dunno) that another Human captained the Normandy before Anderson, and came into open conflicts with Turians. So then came Anderson to replace him, who just distrusted (instead of hated) some (instead of most) Turians; and clearly he at least got along with Nihlus. Then Shepard came who really had little relationship with Turians at all, so then formed, in most playthroughs, some sort of positive or at least professional one with Garrus - or at least Garrus later on in ME2.
