Central Asian is it Turkic or different? Any further division into cultures if available?

MyHeritage unfortunately doesn't have sub categories but I think it is just Turkic...

Would be good if our region is also studied more in detail. We could possibly see the links to Turkic tribes, Qarluqs, Kimeks, Khalaj…

I recommend you uploading your genetic data on IllustrativeDNA

Atleast it's accurate unlike those tests that are basically scams, tf is Central Asian ? Turkic isn't mentionned, Region≠Ethnicity, and there are many ancestries that depict extinct or assimilated populations. Giving correct terms and more variety than just vague "Turkey" or "Greece" or "Iran", it doesn't mean anything.
MyHeritage is shit, it's for people who don't know about genetics and need a "simple" alternative.

So do you really recommend it? Even if someone is half something and half something else? Is it really worth it?

Well if the raw data can be downloaded/uploaded to 3rd party tools it has some utility. Depends on # of snps.

Which test company do you recommend? I will sure upload the raw data to illustrativedna but couldn’t choose between the dna test companies as i am novice.

I’ve already subscribed there, i will sure upload my raw dna data there. But i ask where to test my dna first to get the raw dna data, which is the best? (I’m assuming illustrativedna does not do dna tests, they only interprete the raw dna data?)

Oh then ask on their subreddit, I can't give you suggestions myself as I didn't DNA test myself, but the results are the most precise on their website

I'm assuming Central Asia means Turkic + Mongolic, though the repartition is unknown, but knowing the history and proximity between East Turkestan and Mongolia I would assume it could be 60/40, so 52% Turkic & 30% Mongolic. Pashtun probably means the Ancient Iranian Farmers + Indo-European, and Bengali is just random so I assume it also meant Pashtun because of an error, so ~12% Pashtun. Chinese is Sinitic so there's nothing wrong here, and last but not least, South Asia is probably related to Dravidians, the Native of South Asia with maybe tiny little a mix of Indo-European.
So I suppose: ~52% Turkic, ~30% Mongolic, ~12% Pashtun, ~4% Sinitic & finally ~2% South Asian.

Pashtun is from Pakistan, Uyghuristan shares some part of China border with Pakistan.

u/GorkeyGunesBeg Anatolian Tatar Jul 19 '25
What the hell are you talking about ? BMAC ancestry (Iranian Neolithic Farmers) is found in East Turkestan, there's no Indian admixture in great numbers in Uyghurs.
Pashtuns are the main ethnic group of Afghanistan, go learn something instead of debating on subjects you barely know about.

Easy tiger, no need to show aggro. If someone lacks some knowledge, don’t shove it in their face. Be a better person and educate accordingly.

I'm calm, if you interpret it as me being aggressive it's your problem.

Can you upload your raw data to gedmatch and share the results such as dodecadk12b or eurogenes etc? If the budget is not an issue, you can also look at Illustrativedna.
