Are Romani people related to Kurds?

[Mesoman]

Hadouken looks like an aboriginal Northern West Asian. That's what he is genetically and passes the best as Kurdish and other Northern West Asian ethnicities as well first and foremost. But he passes in the peripheral Europe in the south and atypically in the balkans as well

There is a partial overlap with Kurds but not more then to any other westasian, because roma picked up a westasian genetic component on their way to europe and around the world. Does that mean Kurds look like roma? No, because roma are also 1/3 dalit, and it shows, they look different then Kurds. And I dont know what the genetic distance is between Roma_Balkan and Kurd_average, but I suspect it is high. I dont know who are the genetically closest populations to Roma, but Im quite sure it is not Kurds.

Also the OP is bullshit, the Kurds are not Dravidians, the languages are not similar, nothing of that is true. There are some persian words in the romani language, but it is not similar at all to kurdish, romani is a middle age indo-aryan language. Kurdish is something else, the only similarity is they are both IE languages, but there is no more similarity then to albanian or greek, who are also IE languages.

No, their west asian ancestry appears to be Anatolian rather. The cultural influences they share with Kurds obviously comes from turkish influence in both.

Ancestrially I think theyre closest or most similiar to balkan turks. Gypsies are mostly a mix of balkan and Anatolian, alike balkan descent turks, but however are like 30-40% North Indian gypsy. Still most of their ancestry is alike that of balkan turks, except gypsies lack turkic ancestry.

Culture wise I think theyre closer to turks than Kurds as well. Very much influenced by balkan and turkish muslim culture. Turks influenced balkan culture a lot too.

We Balkan Turks share nothing with Gypsies.

We are genetically, mentally, culturally and phenotypically too different than them.

We are only related with Turkic people.

Some Gypsies claim they are Turks though, even in places like Bulgaria or Greece so culturally there is some overlap maybe. But Turks do not want to have anything to do with them. But gypsies generally do that where they settle, it is not specific to turks.

Don't encourage the delusions of vulnerable mentally unstable people. When/if they realize that reality is different to what they believe, they may have a mental breakdown.

Balkan Turks, as the name implies descend from Turks and local Balkanites with no common heritage between the Gypsies of Anatolia and Balkans. As stated by Thracian, be it genetically, culturally or phenotype wise they are different entirely. For Anatolian Turks, they are also genetically, culturally and phenotypically different from the Gypsies.

Balkan gypsies arent 60-70% Anatolian west asian and balkan? Arent balkan turks a mix of native Anatolian, turks and balkanians? If 60-70% of the ancestry in gypsies isnt mix of Anatolian and balkan, then I agree. If balkan turks just means balkan + Seljuk turks, then I will say my attention was entirely on the turks that are both partially Anatolian, balkan and turkic.


I didnt say you were the same, I said they are ancestrially most similiar to balkan turks or turks that are mix of balkan/anatolian/turk than to kurds, being most similiar doesnt equal being very close. I especially never said gypsies and turks are closest to each other, theyre very different culturally and phenotypically too.

[Narration]

All ethnic groups are related to each other in various degrees.

[Victor]

They seem to be similarly ugly
