Szekely people are genetically close to romanians or hungarians?

How much south asian do armenians score?

On MDLP K16 spreadsheet they range from 5-8 Indian (not sure is it identical as South Asian component)

You know him
This person isn't typical, but I don't think those heavy mena mixed Szekely are either.

Heavy MENA? He gets modeled as 12% Levantine/Assyrian. I don't see why it's hard to believe that Szeklers could have higher East Med and West Asian when they live southeast of Hungary. Also, it's often said Szeklers have more Old Hungarian DNA compared to those in Hungary, so the higher West Asian can partially be explained by that and also partially explained by them having less Germano-Slavic and more Paleo-Balkan/South Euro DNA. Maybe he is admixed like you say but his results aren't too weird for a SE European so I don't think we should jump to conclusions just yet. Or maybe I'm just not familiar enough with the results of that region. He gets close distances to Balkan populations though and that's not something too strange.

On MDLP K16 Indian is half Caucasian as long as Georgians/Chechens score up to 10-13%.

He gets 10% middle eastern on FTDNA not counting trace regions, that is way too much


European 88%
East Europe 48%
Southeast Europe 25%
British Isles 15%
Middle Eastern 5%
East Middle East 5%

Trace regions
Ashkenazi 2%
Northeast Asia 2%
Central Asia 1%
Siberia 1%
North and Central America 1%
West Middle East 1%

He claimed the surnames in his family tree are hungarian. Some people just happen to be outliers without recent foreign admixture. Either way he's outlier, he plots Northwest of Hungarians from Hungary(who are already more NW than Székelys), lol.

I think so, on Eurogenes Armenians score less south Asian, 0-3% I think
example:


# Population Percent
1 West_Asian 36.45
2 East_Med 36.02
3 West_Med 14.07
4 Red_Sea 6.45
5 North_Atlantic 4.62
6 South_Asian 2.24
7 Oceanian 0.14

Single Population Sharing:

# Population (source) Distance
1 Armenian 3.49

Same amount as Stears

Yes for sure German mixed maybe very far back. Does he look Hungarian to you ? I agree with Stears he does have Hungarian phenotype

Idk. Hungarians can have many looks.
