itemprop='description articleBody'> </br>As far as I've been able to discern, Ashkenazi Jews are very similar to Sephardic Jews, except with minor admixture from Central and Eastern Europe, and perhaps Central Asia (via the Silk Road). So the hypothesis presented in this <a href="https://gbe.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2016/03/03/gbe.evw046.abstract">new paper</a> at <i>Genome Biology and Evolution</i> doesn't work for me:</br></br> <blockquote>The Yiddish language is over one thousand years old and incorporates German, Slavic, and Hebrew elements. The prevalent view claims Yiddish has a German origin, whereas the opposing view posits a Slavic origin with strong Iranian and weak Turkic substrata. One of the major difficulties in deciding between these hypotheses is the unknown geographical origin of Yiddish speaking Ashkenazic Jews (AJs). An analysis of 393 Ashkenazic, Iranian, and mountain Jews and over 600 non-Jewish genomes demonstrated that Greeks, Romans, Iranians, and Turks exhibit the highest genetic similarity with AJs. The Geographic Population Structure (GPS) analysis localized most AJs along major primeval trade routes in northeastern Turkey adjacent to primeval villages with names that may be derived from "Ashkenaz." Iranian and mountain Jews were localized along trade routes on the Turkey's eastern border. Loss of maternal haplogroups was evident in non-Yiddish speaking AJs. Our results suggest that AJs originated from a Slavo-Iranian confederation, which the Jews call "Ashkenazic" (i.e., "Scythian"), though these Jews probably spoke Persian and/or Ossete. This is compatible with linguistic evidence suggesting that Yiddish is a Slavic language created by Irano-Turko-Slavic Jewish merchants along the Silk Roads as a cryptic trade language, spoken only by its originators to gain an advantage in trade. Later, in the 9th century, Yiddish underwent relexification by adopting a new vocabulary that consists of a minority of German and Hebrew and a majority of newly coined Germanoid and Hebroid elements that replaced most of the original Eastern Slavic and Sorbian vocabularies, while keeping the original grammars intact.</blockquote></br> Das et al., <a href="https://gbe.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2016/03/03/gbe.evw046.abstract">Localizing Ashkenazic Jews to primeval villages in the ancient Iranian lands of Ashkenaz</a>, <i>Genome Biol Evol</i> (2016), doi: 10.1093/gbe/evw046</br></br> See also...</br></br> <a href="https://eurogenes.blogspot.com/2014/02/khazar-shmazar.html">Khazar shmazar</a></br></br> <a href="https://eurogenes.blogspot.com/2016/07/khazar-shmazar-2.html">Khazar shmazar #2</a></br></br> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/04637918905430604850' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/04637918905430604850' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Davidski</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://eurogenes.blogspot.com/2016/03/irano-turko-slavic-roots-of-ashkenazi.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://eurogenes.blogspot.com/2016/03/irano-turko-slavic-roots-of-ashkenazi.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2016-03-03T17:25:00-08:00'>5:25:00 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1186917030'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=4123559132014627431&postID=1403336672782960090&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=4123559132014627431&postID=1403336672782960090&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=4123559132014627431&postID=1403336672782960090&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=4123559132014627431&postID=1403336672782960090&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=4123559132014627431&postID=1403336672782960090&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=4123559132014627431&postID=1403336672782960090&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='comments' id='comments'> <a name='comments'></a> <h4>35 comments:</h4> <div id='Blog1_comments-block-wrapper'> <dl class='avatar-comment-indent' id='comments-block'> <dt class='comment-author ' id='c3715903720414315473'> <a name='c3715903720414315473'></a> <div class="avatar-image-container avatar-stock"><span dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/profile/07969348276219179258" target="" rel="nofollow" onclick="" class="avatar-hovercard" id="av-3715903720414315473-07969348276219179258"><img src="//www.blogger.com/img/blogger_logo_round_35.png" width="35" height="35" alt="" title="Fanty"> </a></span></div> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/07969348276219179258' rel='nofollow'>Fanty</a> said... </dt> <dd class='comment-body' id='Blog1_cmt-3715903720414315473'> <p> well, dont know.

(Apparently the closest German dialect to Yiddish is Badisch, which makes sense.) <br /><br />I was just agreeing that Dutch <i>generally</i> sounds like Yiddish. I guess what adds to that effect is the very guttural Dutch G (don't know the correct term). Luxembourgish, for example, should sound more like Yiddish, and perhaps it does, but to my ears it sounds softer, almost more "French." Of course we're talking about language so a ton has changed in a 1,000 years. <br /><br />Btw, the English wikipedia version of the map you linked to is annotated and a little more clear: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_German_languages#/media/File:Continental_West_Germanic_languages.png<br /><br /> </p> </dd> <dd class='comment-footer'> <span class='comment-timestamp'> <a href='https://eurogenes.blogspot.com/2016/03/irano-turko-slavic-roots-of-ashkenazi.html?showComment=1457121732660#c7352025273772331881' title='comment permalink'> March 4, 2016 at 12:02 PM </a> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-976184706'> <a class='comment-delete' href='https://www.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=4123559132014627431&postID=7352025273772331881' title='Delete Comment'> <img src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon_delete13.gif'/> </a> </span> </span> </dd> <dt class='comment-author ' id='c3837810452595738628'> <a name='c3837810452595738628'></a> <div class="avatar-image-container avatar-stock"><span dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/profile/07969348276219179258" target="" rel="nofollow" onclick="" class="avatar-hovercard" id="av-3837810452595738628-07969348276219179258"><img src="//www.blogger.com/img/blogger_logo_round_35.png" width="35" height="35" alt="" title="Fanty"> </a></span></div> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/07969348276219179258' rel='nofollow'>Fanty</a> said... </dt> <dd class='comment-body' id='Blog1_cmt-3837810452595738628'> <p> Hm. didnt know yet, that the dialect of the most northern part of the Rhineland is rated as a "Dutch" dialect. cO<br /><br />Hm.

The 'linguistic hypothesis' they're defending is exceptionally minor.<br /><br />2) Argument via false etymology: Ashkenaz may have once referred to someplace in Anatolia. In the dark ages, it referred to Germany.<br /><br />3) What genomes did they use? Because saying 'they're close to Italians, Greeks, Turks and Iranians' in a paper trying to prove kinship with Iranians suggests that they're more closely related to Italians and Greeks than Iranians, which supports preexisting genetic hypotheses. Certainly anyone with an eye to IBD sharing, YDNAs, or just autosomal runs can dismiss this paper out of hand.<br /><br />4) It suggests the AJs picked up non-'Ashkenazi' MTDNAs when they eventually moved to Europe but their MTDNAs hint strongly at an Italian origin around 1800-2000 years ago, if you look at nesting and TMRCAs, which flies against this idea. Isn't it simpler to suggest, as has already been suggested, that Mountain Jews, already believed to be an offshoot of Persian Jews, share YDNA with other Jews because of common Judaean patrilineage?<br /><br />5) No Sephardics mentioned, hm. Sephardics are basically the massive stone in the shoe of Khazar theorists and I guess these idiots too, if objective genetic, historical and linguistic evidence weren't enough. Basically: AJs and Sephardics are genetically incredibly similar. Yet no one would suggest Sephardics are from the Steppe or wherever. What gives, theorists?<br /><br />In summation it can be stored neatly with Elhaik's work, and then set on fire."<br /> </p> </dd> <dd class='comment-footer'> <span class='comment-timestamp'> <a href='https://eurogenes.blogspot.com/2016/03/irano-turko-slavic-roots-of-ashkenazi.html?showComment=1457157018842#c324075599102164898' title='comment permalink'> March 4, 2016 at 9:50 PM </a> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1354544715'> <a class='comment-delete' href='https://www.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=4123559132014627431&postID=324075599102164898' title='Delete Comment'> <img src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon_delete13.gif'/> </a> </span> </span> </dd> <dt class='comment-author ' id='c922876352579251563'> <a name='c922876352579251563'></a> <div class="avatar-image-container vcard"><span dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/profile/13578860964923773647" target="" rel="nofollow" onclick="" class="avatar-hovercard" id="av-922876352579251563-13578860964923773647"><img src="https://resources.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif" width="35" height="35" class="delayLoad" style="display: none;" longdesc="//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhni17wMDrqkvcyLUkYLJi4SWKLyfnED--AK0ImyhLiOYrhBl6Per1w55i9iDQ9PunDhlJXegAjgigKko87HhTdoXEx9gpCko4eQHohwVbZTuVgxRB3sRZWi816QdxzlJo/s45-c/scansione0001.jpg" alt="" title="Gioiello"> <noscript><img src="//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhni17wMDrqkvcyLUkYLJi4SWKLyfnED--AK0ImyhLiOYrhBl6Per1w55i9iDQ9PunDhlJXegAjgigKko87HhTdoXEx9gpCko4eQHohwVbZTuVgxRB3sRZWi816QdxzlJo/s45-c/scansione0001.jpg" width="35" height="35" class="photo" alt=""></noscript></a></span></div> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/13578860964923773647' rel='nofollow'>Gioiello</a> said... </dt> <dd class='comment-body' id='Blog1_cmt-922876352579251563'> <p> Of course I don't say anything about the linguistic question, and German speaking people have said enough. Perhaps the thesis of Elhaik could be reversed: origin in the Rhine Valley of people coming from South and later many introgressions from Black Sea (Khazars and others), but Elhaik is adversed because he, like me, says that Jews are above all introgressed and perhaps a few from Old Israel (my links of Jewish even J1 with European origin are many). I make links of the Y and mt and use a little the autosome, subdue above all to interpretations. About these samples I'd want to say only one thing. There is a person mt H41a. This haplogroup was found from Irene Pichler in many Hutterites and she (from Alto Adige, thus she believes to be of German origin) searched for the closest haplotypes in Central Europe, but H41a is the haplogroup of my paternal grandmother and was of my father's and my cousin's and her daughter's… I wrote to Irene Pichler to find in Tuscany, but he didn't reply to me. </p> </dd> <dd class='comment-footer'> <span class='comment-timestamp'> <a href='https://eurogenes.blogspot.com/2016/03/irano-turko-slavic-roots-of-ashkenazi.html?showComment=1457211435438#c922876352579251563' title='comment permalink'> March 5, 2016 at 12:57 PM </a> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-160877649'> <a class='comment-delete' href='https://www.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=4123559132014627431&postID=922876352579251563' title='Delete Comment'> <img src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon_delete13.gif'/> </a> </span> </span> </dd> <dt class='comment-author ' id='c186300527017716915'> <a name='c186300527017716915'></a> <div class="avatar-image-container vcard"><span dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/profile/00679577049261430513" target="" rel="nofollow" onclick="" class="avatar-hovercard" id="av-186300527017716915-00679577049261430513"><img src="https://resources.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif" width="35" height="35" class="delayLoad" style="display: none;" longdesc="//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx3cwUFNZ7PHTlDX_p85dx8wcgWFskK51oiQkqTT0gEyewwY_gXudZnaCp4gk_coAFu1BOBjYjzK7Mx5ClebB2oNfF4jmi2veGsOTWtX7YoHvZCYF3eDKBAEnJkcO7yQ/s45-c/Arch+Hades+logo+v+2.0.jpg" alt="" title="Arch Hades"> <noscript><img src="//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx3cwUFNZ7PHTlDX_p85dx8wcgWFskK51oiQkqTT0gEyewwY_gXudZnaCp4gk_coAFu1BOBjYjzK7Mx5ClebB2oNfF4jmi2veGsOTWtX7YoHvZCYF3eDKBAEnJkcO7yQ/s45-c/Arch+Hades+logo+v+2.0.jpg" width="35" height="35" class="photo" alt=""></noscript></a></span></div> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/00679577049261430513' rel='nofollow'>Arch Hades</a> said... </dt> <dd class='comment-body' id='Blog1_cmt-186300527017716915'> <p> The genetics pretty much shows that Ashkenazi Jews are just a group of Sephardi Jews that headed North and picked up ~10% Central-East European admixture. What do you get when you mix a 90% Sephardi Jew with 10% Central-East European, an Ashkenazi. So Sephardis will have nearly all the same components Ashkenazi Jews do. The authors of these papers should always included European Sephardis when they are coming up with their hypothesis on Ashkenazi origins. It's very lazy and stupid not to. </p> </dd> <dd class='comment-footer'> <span class='comment-timestamp'> <a href='https://eurogenes.blogspot.com/2016/03/irano-turko-slavic-roots-of-ashkenazi.html?showComment=1457211735435#c186300527017716915' title='comment permalink'> March 5, 2016 at 1:02 PM </a> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-627536548'> <a class='comment-delete' href='https://www.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=4123559132014627431&postID=186300527017716915' title='Delete Comment'> <img src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon_delete13.gif'/> </a> </span> </span> </dd> <dt class='comment-author ' id='c5540866429346895624'> <a name='c5540866429346895624'></a> <div class="avatar-image-container vcard"><span dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/profile/13578860964923773647" target="" rel="nofollow" onclick="" class="avatar-hovercard" id="av-5540866429346895624-13578860964923773647"><img src="https://resources.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif" width="35" height="35" class="delayLoad" style="display: none;" longdesc="//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhni17wMDrqkvcyLUkYLJi4SWKLyfnED--AK0ImyhLiOYrhBl6Per1w55i9iDQ9PunDhlJXegAjgigKko87HhTdoXEx9gpCko4eQHohwVbZTuVgxRB3sRZWi816QdxzlJo/s45-c/scansione0001.jpg" alt="" title="Gioiello"> <noscript><img src="//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhni17wMDrqkvcyLUkYLJi4SWKLyfnED--AK0ImyhLiOYrhBl6Per1w55i9iDQ9PunDhlJXegAjgigKko87HhTdoXEx9gpCko4eQHohwVbZTuVgxRB3sRZWi816QdxzlJo/s45-c/scansione0001.jpg" width="35" height="35" class="photo" alt=""></noscript></a></span></div> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/13578860964923773647' rel='nofollow'>Gioiello</a> said... </dt> <dd class='comment-body' id='Blog1_cmt-5540866429346895624'> <p> About that 10% introgressed we should discuss a lot. Costa et al. said (so long after me) that the mt is for more than 90% introgressed. I study above all the hg. R1b (that is mine) and I've written a lot about R-V88 (the origin in Sardinia/Italy is more and more likely). About R-M269* there is a Jewish line but with a MRCA perhaps not more than 2000 years ago (we'll see next if the first 19 SNPs in common are rooted in Middle East or elsewhere: R-M269* is above all Italian so far: see the tree of Sergey Malyshev). Also of R-L277 there is only a line only Jewish so far, and the most part are Italian so far, even though L277 is an “Eastern haplogroup” and not pretty Western European as others, not only after R-L51 but already downstream CTS7556.

I know only one Brazilian which believes that his J1* came from Southern Caucasus, he is Ricardo Costa de Oliveira, but he did a Full Genome and his data are deeper. To compare U4 or U5 (which are many tens of thousands of years old) and to say that R-M343* was born in the Caucasus is very ingenue. I demonstrated tha your India has R-L389- and Italy R-L389+ and all the subclades and they separated pretty 20000 years ago. That the R-L23-Z2105* found in Samara have no meaning if your don't find there both the upstream subclades and above all the downstream L51 I said from so long… and that many old subclades are from many thousands of years both in the Caucasus in the Alpine region I am sayng from so long too. Perhaps a recent paper with the oldest LGM refugia may you understand what really happened. My “Italian Refugium” may have been the around the Mediterranean refugium. South Asia had another, completely different… and very likely R1a* (amongst other haplogroups) was here and not there. </p> </dd> <dd class='comment-footer'> <span class='comment-timestamp'> <a href='https://eurogenes.blogspot.com/2016/03/irano-turko-slavic-roots-of-ashkenazi.html?showComment=1457246212630#c3289370689211842067' title='comment permalink'> March 5, 2016 at 10:36 PM </a> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-160877649'> <a class='comment-delete' href='https://www.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=4123559132014627431&postID=3289370689211842067' title='Delete Comment'> <img src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon_delete13.gif'/> </a> </span> </span> </dd> <dt class='comment-author ' id='c8238508138475757532'> <a name='c8238508138475757532'></a> <div class="avatar-image-container vcard"><span dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/profile/12880827026479135118" target="" rel="nofollow" onclick="" class="avatar-hovercard" id="av-8238508138475757532-12880827026479135118"><img src="https://resources.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif" width="35" height="35" class="delayLoad" style="display: none;" longdesc="//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC_GcYvzRom1Gu9hnhTmP2f3qT4PUkn1ZXgskmcLmH0aQh0pcvFN3epUmZiBXfbubdZ0qZbvphGHKwv547yi-GILc1ezAsmIZ_fDPWb_Cc4099hCaPreNcYTea5ZaQ6-c/s45-c/ekam.jpg" alt="" title="Nirjhar007"> <noscript><img src="//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC_GcYvzRom1Gu9hnhTmP2f3qT4PUkn1ZXgskmcLmH0aQh0pcvFN3epUmZiBXfbubdZ0qZbvphGHKwv547yi-GILc1ezAsmIZ_fDPWb_Cc4099hCaPreNcYTea5ZaQ6-c/s45-c/ekam.jpg" width="35" height="35" class="photo" alt=""></noscript></a></span></div> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/12880827026479135118' rel='nofollow'>Nirjhar007</a> said... </dt> <dd class='comment-body' id='Blog1_cmt-8238508138475757532'> <p> Thank you Gioiello , your remarks are important and professional!.<br /><br />I have only question for you now, as you already know, the Varna Cultures genome are coming very soon ( probably this upcoming week?) , Do you think there will be R1b-M269?. </p> </dd> <dd class='comment-footer'> <span class='comment-timestamp'> <a href='https://eurogenes.blogspot.com/2016/03/irano-turko-slavic-roots-of-ashkenazi.html?showComment=1457264942762#c8238508138475757532' title='comment permalink'> March 6, 2016 at 3:49 AM </a> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-2054244635'> <a class='comment-delete' href='https://www.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=4123559132014627431&postID=8238508138475757532' title='Delete Comment'> <img src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon_delete13.gif'/> </a> </span> </span> </dd> <dt class='comment-author ' id='c3860860169765126598'> <a name='c3860860169765126598'></a> <div class="avatar-image-container vcard"><span dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/profile/13578860964923773647" target="" rel="nofollow" onclick="" class="avatar-hovercard" id="av-3860860169765126598-13578860964923773647"><img src="https://resources.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif" width="35" height="35" class="delayLoad" style="display: none;" longdesc="//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhni17wMDrqkvcyLUkYLJi4SWKLyfnED--AK0ImyhLiOYrhBl6Per1w55i9iDQ9PunDhlJXegAjgigKko87HhTdoXEx9gpCko4eQHohwVbZTuVgxRB3sRZWi816QdxzlJo/s45-c/scansione0001.jpg" alt="" title="Gioiello"> <noscript><img src="//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhni17wMDrqkvcyLUkYLJi4SWKLyfnED--AK0ImyhLiOYrhBl6Per1w55i9iDQ9PunDhlJXegAjgigKko87HhTdoXEx9gpCko4eQHohwVbZTuVgxRB3sRZWi816QdxzlJo/s45-c/scansione0001.jpg" width="35" height="35" class="photo" alt=""></noscript></a></span></div> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/13578860964923773647' rel='nofollow'>Gioiello</a> said... </dt> <dd class='comment-body' id='Blog1_cmt-3860860169765126598'> <p> What to say with these presuppositions? “The discontinuity of the Varna, Karanovo, Vinča and Lengyel cultures in their main territories and the large scale population shifts to the north and northwest are indirect evidence of a catastrophe of such proportions that cannot be explained by possible climatic change, desertification, or epidemics. Direct evidence of the incursion of horse-riding warriors is found, not only in single burials of males under barrows, but in the emergence of a whole complex of Indo-European cultural traits. The original term for: 'Castes' in India was: 'Varna', meaning: 'Color', cognate to French: 'Vernis', and Spanish: 'Barniz' (both= Varnish)”.<br />I thank you for the news, I didn't know.

That Medieval Latin derives from “Late Greek verenike” is only an hypothesis, possible but undemonstrated. I did mean other, i.e. that could be a link between the Skt varna and varaṇa if both from IE *werno/ehₐ- (the link is done from Mallory&Adams, The Oxford Introduction to Proto-Indo-European and the Proto-Indo-European World, at list for varaṇa) if the same would be happened in the meaning of English “alder” in the two meanings. When a folk etymology was done from old peoples it becomes interesting. But we are not discussing here of linguistics but of genetics, and, just for what you said, also those results have to be interpreted, because a possible R1b will be able to be interpreted in opposite ways, either come with the invasors or due the invaded. </p> </dd> <dd class='comment-footer'> <span class='comment-timestamp'> <a

its quite possible. <br /><br />Yes, if R1b from Varna is found it will be vital to see how related they will be with Yamnaya types, but it will be huge as the culture is older!. </p> </dd> <dd

<p> @ Fanty<br /><br />I think you may be overestimating the importance of the sound of certain dialects. Different variants of Low German, or High German for that matter, can sound quite different. Bavarian sounds very different from Swabian, yet they're both HIgh German. There is even quite some difference between Dutch and Flemish, although they're essentially the same language:<br />http://www3.germanistik.uni-halle.de/prinz/sprachen/130.htm<br /><br />http://www3.germanistik.uni-halle.de/prinz/sprachen/068.htm<br /><br />@PF<br /><br />Baden makes sense. In fact the very name "Yiddish" looks like derived from the Baden dialect word for "Jewish", standard German "Jüdisch". The change from ü to i is typical in some parts of Baden and the Alsace, and also used to be typical for the Swiss city of Basel.<br /> </p> </dd> <dd class='comment-footer'> <span class='comment-timestamp'> <a href='https://eurogenes.blogspot.com/2016/03/irano-turko-slavic-roots-of-ashkenazi.html?showComment=1457378517059#c3293341790210891407' title='comment permalink'> March 7, 2016 at 11:21 AM </a> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-288898387'> <a class='comment-delete' href='https://www.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=4123559132014627431&postID=3293341790210891407' title='Delete Comment'> <img src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon_delete13.gif'/> </a> </span> </span> </dd> <dt class='comment-author ' id='c3964064149148563865'> <a name='c3964064149148563865'></a> <div class="avatar-image-container vcard"><span dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/profile/02315913670679395734" target="" rel="nofollow" onclick="" class="avatar-hovercard" id="av-3964064149148563865-02315913670679395734"><img src="https://resources.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif" width="35" height="35" class="delayLoad" style="display: none;" longdesc="//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7WppnJO9sl8MLHJC5XQXE1NY-L8B7bhgz4rpXqs3lR6mfYYr6Mfds452FUPin1raRIoZWkZzgOdjsvR_XPw5VrSzBpo_ZaF9P68YdahXaEzrR93_jeLP2t40dM0cpIfM/s45-c/523490_10150880394731313_72455519_n.jpg" alt="" title="Joshua Lipson"> <noscript><img src="//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7WppnJO9sl8MLHJC5XQXE1NY-L8B7bhgz4rpXqs3lR6mfYYr6Mfds452FUPin1raRIoZWkZzgOdjsvR_XPw5VrSzBpo_ZaF9P68YdahXaEzrR93_jeLP2t40dM0cpIfM/s45-c/523490_10150880394731313_72455519_n.jpg" width="35" height="35" class="photo" alt=""></noscript></a></span></div> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/02315913670679395734' rel='nofollow'>Joshua Lipson</a> said... </dt> <dd class='comment-body' id='Blog1_cmt-3964064149148563865'> <p> If anyone wants a quantitative sense of how marginal any Turkic influence on Ashkenazim is, check out this spreadsheet of East Asian component values (MDLP and Dodecad; I'm sure Eurogenes would second them) among Jewish, Mediterranean, Caucasian, and Eastern European populations. <br /><br />https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17rLOHTcQpws2Yit_Ka_6HdUfkeVAl-wIPHtr1ul6FSU/edit#gid=0<br /><br />Yes, Ashkenazim are the most East Asian population in the Central/East Mediterranean.
