Pontid-Med

Izgleda kao da je poreklom iz Kavkaza ili Anatolije (Jermenija, Turska)

Looks West Asian (Caucasus, Turkey). This is majority phenotype among Aromanians who account for almost all the dark types in Romania that aren't Gypsy.

This is nonsense. Aromanians in Romania are majority Med, not West Asian.

The West Asian phenotypes in Romania have 3 main sources: Tatars, Gypsies, and Turks from Dobrogea and the Danube cities (unlike the rest of Wallachia, the cities along the Danube were under Ottoman control for 400 years).

I heard Romanian elite in Ottoman time was predominantly Aromanian. Also, Vlach peasants settled in eastern Serbia in 18th century because of presure of Aromanian elite in Wallachia.
Is this true?

No, that's false. Aromanians didn't settle in Romania in any numbers until 150 years ago.

That said, half of the ruling class in the Romanian principalities was not of Romanian origin, but Byzantine. This was true before and after the Phanariote era, although it's worth mentioning that these ruling families lost their Greek identity pretty early on.

Thanks for giving me a laugh, mutt subhuman slime. I regularly shit turds with a higher IQ than you could ever dream of, so keep on coping.

What the fuck is wrong with you, boy? This forum is filled with nutcases

Hold your horses! By West Asian I meant Near Eastern (Turkish/Armenian/Caucasian and Greek to a lesser extent), as you can see in my original response. As a matter of fact I didn't include other possible ancestries (all dating back to Phanariot times):

- Greek ancestry
- Armenian ancestry
- Georgian ancestry

Which is why today Near Eastern looking Romanians (or Greek Med like ones) are almost nonexistent in Transylvania...
