The Wakhi people, or the Khik,[3] are an ethnic group living in adjacent, remote regions of Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, and China. They are predominantly centered in Afghanistan's Wakhan Corridor, the northern-most part of Pakistan's Gilgit-Baltistan, the Gorno-Badakhshan region of Tajikistan, and the southwestern region of China's Xinjiang.[4] They are native speakers of Wakhi, an Indo-European language of the Iranian branch.

lot of wakhis from surrounding countries are migrating to Gilgit Baltistan in North Pakistan for better opportunities under China-Pakistan economic Corridor, they are an interesting group

Anyone know how much percentage East Asian Tajiks score on average? They must be more than Pashtuns because the latter do not look Mongoloid.

IT depends on region , I think wakhis will score similar to Pamiri Tajiks or other groups in North Pakistan/N E Afghanistan like low East Asian. While Tajiks from deep in Tajikistan show high mongoloid

[Khamzat]

People from the badakhshan province of Tajikistan have less mongol influence compared to the Tajiks from the other states in Tajikistan, this also applies to the Wakhis who live in Pakistan and Afghanistan

Brilliant.

I'd wager some of the most beautiful women (according to my taste) in the world hail from that ethnos.

Versatile intermediaries between Europeans and West Asians (sometimes tending to one aesthetic, at other times the other).

Iranid female aesthetics are top tier of the top tier.
