I never said they were, but it's a fact that the Seljuks intermarried heavily with Persians. Their Persian ancestry was on their maternal side. By the time they showed themselves in Anatolia they looked very Iranian Caucasoid with only slight Mongol elements. I never said they raped them, but I said they married them which did happen. Also Turkmenistan was originally part of Persia, so they mixed with the Iranic people there, but they got more mixed when they came into Persia. Thus they became very Iranian genetically.

Turkmenistan (Merv) at that time was Persian majority.
Seljuks aren't from Turkmenistan. They are way more north originally, from north-east of Caspian and what's today western Kazakhstan.
Their ancestors were citizens of Khazar khaganate, not citizens of Abbasids or Abbasid clients.
When they took Iran they weren't mixed and when they reached Turkey neither were they mixed with Persians.
They were not rapist of course.
We were all in 'Ghuzz' region here.
Seljuks then splitted and went a little more south.
No Iranic populations out there.

They moved there just after having civil war with their Tengrist Oghuz brothers. And then, soon after they expanded and created their empire.
Where Seljuks are originally from, that's showed in the Khazar map. Between Aral and Caspian. The family is known to have served in the Khazarian army.

Blatant lies to make yourself seem less mixed. Arabic was originally not as close to Aramaic as it is today. Earlier Aramaic has had a profound effect on the modern Arabic dialects. More like a koine language nowadays tbh.
Modern Arabs are also genetically quite distinct from actual Levantines, like Samaritans and Lebanese/Palestinian Christians. Within a West Asian context ofc.
They may have been more open to Arab settlers at that time(like if there was much of a choice lol), but maybe try ask a native Levantine Christian or Jew today what they think of the Arab Muslim presence in the Levant...

To create a nomadic empire? Thats what nomads do. They absorb the native culture of a region, spread its influence, and assimilate natives. In this, case, it happened to be in turkey. Just like how nomadic persians migrated to Iran, absorbed the culture of the near east and assimilated the native population. Come on man, you should know this. Its the same exact concept.
And the reason why levantines switched to arabic is because they were assimilated, not because its easy to fucking switch between different languages. That's not how it works.
