^^^^Interesting how Armenians score higher SW Asian than their neighbours.
And it’s not because somehow Arabs colonized the Caspian or mixed with the locals there. The Armenian Levantine, Iranian farmer, and Anatolian ancestors in the Caucasus simply stayed more sheltered than the other inhabitants of the Caspian and Kurdistan and Turkey who were more affected than Armenians by the waves of Central Asian Aryan Iranians and Turco-Mongols. Thus they have less (not none) Central Asian ancestors than Persians, Kurds, and Turks and therefore retained more of their ancient Levantine, Iranian farmer and Anatolian ancestry. That’s the reason they have less northern and eastern ancestry than Kurds from that regionQuote:

Zoro do you know anything about Chechen-Dagestani origin kurdish tribes from Muş/Turkey? Their tribe names are "Çeçen" and "Lezgi", they are supposed to be the descendents of immigrants that exiled to Turkey after Russo-Circassian war and settled among Kurds, then they got assimilated, now they are speaking Kurdish. Do you have any dna results from that tribe??Quote:

I think she might be from that tribe, i have her gedmatch kit number and some information about her. If you are interested i can send you.
This is how she gets modelled on k12b:

So I asked my parents why my cousin was named Lezgin. They said they didn't know but it's just a name. They didn't know there was even a group of people called Lezgin :)
Back to your question. No I didn't know about Chechen-Dagestani origin kurdish tribes from Muş/Turkey with tribe names "Çeçen" and "Lezgi" but I have always been curious about why some Kurds name their kids Lezgin and why in IBS gene to gene comparison why Lezgin show up 1st in Kurmanji Kurds and visa versa.
For example, I am curious why Iraqi Kurds show up 1st for Lezgins in this IBS list and why Armenians and Fars Iranians are so much lower in the list. This list was done using about 350,000 SNPs. Not only that, but if you check Pi-Hat column (based on IBD) Iraqi Kurds by far have the largest IBD with Lezgin.

Which command did you use to run IBS as well as those IBD scores? Couldn't see the tutorial under admixtools.Quote:

If anyone is interested I will leave a link of an article about it:

Actually I ran it using Plink. Here are the steps:Quote:

3- Calculate IBS using "genome" flag : /plink --bfile IBS1 --genome
4- Your results will be in folder plink.genome
Very interesting. Most of those areas are Arabs except for Dohuk, Sulemani, Hawler (Arbil) and Kirkuk but that still wouldn't explain why my cousin's name is Lezgin.Quote:

Just read your linked article about Chechen Kurds. I didn’t know about them
Most of them dont know about their origins neither :DQuote:

I think Circassians mostly settled in Arab majority provinces while Dagestanis (mostly Lezgin) settled in Kurdish majority provinces. Interesting but it seems Circassians are more aware of their origins and preserved it much better than Dagestanis and Chechens.
Yeah growing up i knew up Circassians in Iraq but not Chechens and Lezgins. I also noticed that Adygei are no 3 right after Lezgin and Armenian on the Kurd IBS list I posted in the other thread.Quote:

All I can go by is mostly genetics which shows Iraqi Kurds with significantly more northern and eastern ancestry than many of their neighbors using IBS and formal stats
