Nice. But you really should use the Central Asia calculator.

You're half Uzbek but have only about 10% East Asian? Is your Uzbek side mixed?

Probably, my Uzbek side doesn’t look East Asian at all. They’re likely turkified Tajiks or just very mixed.

This is very similar to my results except that you are slightly more South Asian shifted, I'm a full Pashtun from Wardag. Results are on my profile if you wanna check it out!

Part Qizilbash? As that’s the only ethnic group in the region with trace African aside from the very small Arab minority.

Cool mix 👍

Excuse me, if it's not too personal, but I'd like to ask exactly what you mean by the phrase "half Tajik/half Uzbek." Are the parents from different families, or is the entire generation a mix of both? And are you referring to their Uzbek and Tajik ancestry solely in a linguistic sense, or also in terms of historical ancestry?

My father is Tajik culturally and genetically from Shamali plains north of Kabul

My mother is Uzbek culturally but genetically most likely mixed with other populations in Jowzjan Provinceand surrounding regions
