If I send you Sicilians from Agrigento can you model them? They are the closest to Tunisian Jews. I will only send 5 if you agree to do it.

Interesting. no evidence of Italic ancestry.

20% steppe input, like most southern Italians, thats the Italic and Greek indo-european ancestry.

Cretans had the same amount I believe.

Well they're almost certainly either Sephardi or mostly Sephardi so what do you expect?

And in their case its all proto-Greek. In the case of these Sicilians obviously some of it is Italic.

Maybe so. I didn't think of that.

Tunisian Jews seem to be only Half Sephardi. Like Syrian Jews.

I think they are half Sephardi, half Egyptian Jewish or something.

Depends on the Tunisian Jew, if we're talking Djerba etc then they're their own thing, but a lot of the bigger communities, like Tunis and Sfax, were mostly Sephardic. Some admixture.

Can you PM me the kit number? Maybe other North African Jews if you have?
As a Moroccan Jewish It’s quite interesting for me.

Doesn’t matter. The amount if Sephardi admixture peaks in Morocco ans lowers as you go east. Every tunisian jew will south plot to every Algerian/Morocco Jew. Because they have less Sephardi. But I asked sikeliot to give me the kit I want to look on some models.
