Who looks more alike: Turks and Pakistanis or Irish and Greeks?

[Grace O'Malley]

I guess Greeks and Irish considering that there are the so called "dark Irish" who can pass in Greece and so on.

I think Greeks and Irish look more alike than Turks and Pakistanis but I don't think "dark Irish" i.e. Irish with dark hair necessarily can pass in Greece.




Maybe other's might disagree.

Imo even the French are fairly easy to tell apart from any British Isles nationality as a group, let alone Greeks.

Still closer to each other than Turks and Pakistanis specially Punjabis.

I found this fst distance table for another thread and Irish and Greeks are actually very distant genetically. Swedes and Danes are actually closer to Greeks than the Irish are.

Checking the table I found a highly doubtful proximity between Belgians and Italians, but you point is valid, Greeks and Irish live in two opposite corners of Europe, so the genetic distance separating them could be the farthest.

I am not saying otherwise.

I am not saying otherwise.

Just to make sure, I wonder who are the five who voted opposite.

[lonewolfcypriot]

Greek and Irish especially Mainlanders

why exclude Pashtuns . On topic Pakistan is a massive country

This is ethnic/linguistic break down of Pakistan according to latest census(2017), as you can see even ethnicites of Pakistan run in size of country


On topic i would say Pashtuns and other West and North Pakistanis will have a pull toward turkey(East) and East Pakistanis have a pull toward Subcontinent

But Greek and Irish look more alike because there is a European Look.

Do you know why the percentage of Punjabi’s has dropped 6 percent in the last 20 years? From 44% to 38%.

Greek and Irish, but it's not a smart comparision.

most punjabis are getting urban and hence they have lot lower birth rates than Pashtuns and other North Pakistanis who are rural. As you can see percentage of Seraikis(South Punjabis) have also increased since it is mostly rural region. Bloch percentage decrease is most alarming to me, with Afghan migration in Baluchistan demography of Baluchistan is already disturbed against Balochs. But good thing is that lot of balochs speak seraiki as well and live in seraiki region of country.

I'd say greeks and irish, even after pashtuns are included. Many pashtuns can pass as turks, but overall europeans look very similar facial features wise imo disregarding hair and eye colors.
