Please tell me what you think.
Are Turkmens closer to Turkey/Azerbaijan or other Central Asian Turks?
Why I think they are closer to Azeris, Turks
- Linguistically, Turkmen belongs to the Oghuz -Turkic group unlike other who belong to the Kipchak-Turkic group.
- Of all Central Asian Turks, Turkmen is the most Caucasoid DNA and physically
My reason for Turkmen being closer to Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Uzbeks
- They are in Central Asia
- Many of them look strongly Mongoloid aswell
But at this moment I can't decide still.
Turkmen DNA 18 - 58% Mongoloid
Azeris 6 - 29% Mongoloid
Turks 5 - 25% Mongoloid
