@oghurian If the 46% Sogdian segment is re-evaluated as a composite of Khwarazmian+Alan-Sarmatian sources the model becomes much more explanatory.Given that the Oghuz territory was formerly a stronghold for Alan-Sarmat tribes interaction and genetic continuity are historically inevitable

@TurkmenDNA The thing is we can't be sure of this since models can't really take apart sogdian-like and scytho-siberan source when it's modeled with a hunnic source.For example 47% sogdian admixture alone would make 16.5 zagros which is a little bit contradics with this.

The origin of the East Eurasian component in Turkmens shows a different pattern than Y-DNA alone. Despite the dominance of haplogroup Q, autosomal data indicates that 80–85% of this East Eurasian ancestry comes directly from Hunnic sources, rather than Siberian Scythians+

@oghurian In my view,the Iranian component in Turkmens originates mainly from the assimilation of local Khwarazmians during the Oghuz Yabgu era,particularly through the maternal line.The patterns observed in our Y-DNA tables strongly support this historical integration over a Sogdian model

@TurkmenDNA I still support the idea of sogdian admixture is more than bulan-koby type admixture in modern turkmens though.

The modeling belongs to @Ilb3548; I would like to thank him for modeling these academic samples.

@TurkmenDNA @schiz0warrior Why do they usually cite 25-30% figure for Turkmenistan Turkmens?

With the addition of two individual samples, the Afghan Turkmen dataset now consists of a total of 8 samples. Despite the newly added samples, the average remained unchanged, indicating that the Turkmens of this region carry roughly this level of Turkic genetic heritage

@Kurganenjoyer @AnatolianRednek @genosteppe Do you know which tribe the person who gave the sample belongs to? Afshar Bayat?

Afghan Qizilbash (Turkmen) from Herat, under the Scytho-Siberian Q haplogroup common in Turkmans. @AnatolianRednek

PCA of Afghan Turkmens.
As shown,Afghan Turkmens are positioned immediately adjacent to the Medieval Turkic core cluster Based on this model, Afghan Turkmens can be inferred to have strong Medieval Turkic-related ancestry, with an estimated average of around 40% East Eurasian anc
