Turkish Autosomal DNA - West, Central and East Anatolian Turks

[Danishmend]

If this guys kurdish ancestry is from Maras, then he is probably not Kurdish but rather a Kurmonc.
Here are two other results from people of fully Kurmonc ancestry from Maras.

Are Kurmoncs in Maraş different than what we know as "Kurmanji"?

[jackrussell]

Nope, I was taunting Danishmend. Turks being ''racially mixed'' while he is getting a hard on taunting Italians. A turk is in no such position.

Can't have it both ways I am afraid .



Besides , Italy is as mixed as anywhere else on Earth .

Yes, the Kurmonc call themselfes Kurmonc. There is no word that is called "Kurd" in their language. As a matter of fact also the Kurds are Muslim Sunni, the Kurmonc are Alevi.

Also as you can see Kurds and Kurmonc are genetically different. Kurmonc score more European and East Asian/Siberian and less South Asian than Kurds.

Don't they speak Kurmanji dialect?

They seem to be a little bit different than Kurdish average but same difference can be seen between different regions where Kurds live. There is also noticeable difference between Feyli and Kurmanji for example.

Yes, they speak "Kurmanji". But their type of Kurmanji is almost a dialect in itself, because they can't understand everything other Kurmanji speakers say. Also the Kurdish language is not one language, but rather constitutes many different languages. For example a Kurmonc could never ever understand a Kurd from Iraq.

Genetically Kurmonc are closer to Turks than Kurds from Iran,Iraq etc. They cluster somewhere between Turks and North Kurds.

are Kurmonc in Alevi faith ? do day pray Kurdish or Turkish ?

[Konpirike]

are Kurmonc in Alevi faith ? do day pray Kurdish or Turkish ?

Yes all Kurmonc are Alevi. Kurmonc never do rituals in Kurdish. However they do rituals in both Kurmonci and Turkish. I think most of the time it's in Turkish because not all Kurmonc can speak Kurmonci. The younger generation usually only speak Turkish.

Not like Turkey, where there is a lot of recent admixture from distant populations.

What you call "distant" is probably East Eurasian admixture, which is way closer to West Eurasian than your Sub-Saharan African admixture is. Stop spamming this thread already.
