Not really. You will find hardly any samples above 50 individuals in population genetics. 5 samples would be too small but 22 are a good number. If you would take 50 samples you'd get similar results. I'm sure about this. Oh and there isn't any genetical difference between the Pashtun tribes. A...

Okay guys I've found something very interesting. The Autosomal DNA results from 22 Pathans and their average components https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0ArAJcY18g2GadDUyeEtjNnBmY09EbnowN3M3UWRyNnc&hl=en_US&authkey=COCa89AJ&pli=1 East European, Mediterranian, West European...

https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0ArAJcY18g2GadDUyeEtjNnBmY09EbnowN3M3UWRyNnc&hl=en_US&authkey=COCa89AJ Northeastern Asian and Southeastern Asian are Mongoloid components However these Turkmens in this study are probably from Iran I'm actually surprised about the high South...

There is nothing wrong with living in Yurts. These people are connected with the beautiful nature compared with our materalistic obssesed sedentary societies. However Turks are culturally very close to Islamized sedentary Turkics like Azeris, Uzbeks, Uyghurs and semi-nomadic Turkmens but there...

Nah not really. Turks are predominantly Caucasoid with 4-10 % Mongoloid admixture in average

Of course it's not lol. I didn't say that.

In this forum I have the feeling that people assume that Turks and Mongols are the same people who speak related languages. Well the problem here is that it's not even proven that Turkic and Mongolic languages are related to each other. The so called Altaic language family is only a hypothetis...

The Barlas who found the Timurid and Mughal dynasties were originally a Mongol tribe that became Turkified. The Barlas (Chagatay/Persian: برلاس‎ Barlās; also Berlas;Mongolian: Barlas) were a Turkified Mongol[1][2] nomadic confederation in Central Asia, later Persianized and were settled and...

Yes by definition all Turkic are descendant of Proto-Turks so why are Khalajs special know? They are just as Proto-Turkic as Turks, Azeris, Uzbeks

No Khaljis are not the descendants of Proto-Turks because there isn't any Proto-Turkic language anymore. Linguists and scholars only say that the Khalji language is close to the old Turkic language just like the Yugur language

Ah yes Saladin. He was ethnically a Muslim Kurd and one of the most important rulers for the Islamic world world

Yes but it can determinate someones race and if he is genetically predominantly "West Asian", Siberian, South Asian, North European or Sub-Saharan African. Turks for example are genetically predominantly West Asian with 7-15 % Siberian Mongoloid admixture

"Turkic" can be only said to someone who speaks a Turkic language as mother tongue or he/she is half Turkic. Genetics are the truth and are useful to determinate someones origin

The Khalajs are not Proto-Turks but they speak a language which is thought to be close to the old Turkic language. Proto-Turks and the Proto-Turkic language don't exist anymore. Old Turkic (also East Old Turkic, Orkhon Turkic, Old Uyghur) is the earliest attested form of Turkic, found in...

If Khiljis are Turks then so are the South Slavic Bulgarians. Of course they are Pashtuns lol. What about the Turkic Sakhas in Siberia? Are they Iranians? The Saka (Old Persian Sakā; Sanskrit शाक Śāka; Greek Σάκαι;Latin Sacae; Chinese: 塞; pinyin: Sāi; Old Chinese *Sək) were aScythian tribe or...

Wikipedia says this about the Ghilzai tribe and their origin theories The Ghilzai (Pashto: غلزی‎), also known historically as Ghilji (Pashto: غلجي‎), Khilji (Pashto: خلجي‎) and Gharzai (Pashto: غرزی‎,ghar literally means "mountain" and zai "born of"), are the second-largest Pashtun tribal...

So what? I know that Anatolian Turks are genetically not the same as Central Asian Turks as they mixed with Greeks, Persians, Kurds, Caucasians and anyone in Anatolia when we migrated there. This diluted our Siberian DNA but Turkmens themselves are genetically West Asian and have only 2x more...

With due respect but comparing The situation of Turks and Ghilzai Pashtuns is a good joke. Oghuz Turks speak the same language like their ancestors 1000 ago and modern Turks have also a good chunk of Oghuz Turkic DNA. Ghilzais are Pashtuns and speak an Eastern Iranian language. They are also...

I don't deny the partially Turkic origins of Khiljis but the problem here is that Khiljis are mixed with Pashtuns since the 8th century while the "Turkic" Khilji dynasty was established in the 12th century. Indians and even the Turkic nobility considered them as Afghans so I see no sense in it...

The Khiljis were mostly assimilated into modern Pashtuns and not into Bengalis. Beides that they were never a pure Turk tribe but rather mixed with Pashtun tribes since the beginning. They were also treated like that by other Turks.
