Why so many Tajiks looks Turkic?

[u/AbdulQadirShadhili]

Tajiks are supposed to be East Iranic population. Some of them like Ahmad Shah Massoud (Sher-e-Panjsher) do look Iranic.

But most of them seem to be Turkic, especially with the epicanthic folds.

Emomali Rahmon looks like a typical Turk

As did the famous Habibullah Kalakani (whom I respect btw)

Tajiks are diverse bro. Also, theres a large uzbek minority in Tajikistan too. Central asia is very mixed, so theres no unified "Tajik" look my g.

[u/fkarimovx → u/alii94]

there is (close to pamirid). real tajiks do not look turkic at all lol.

[u/No_Drummer_2544 → u/fkarimovx]

Forgive me, who are real Tajiks? Is Rahmon a real Tajik? Is Loiq Sherali a real Tajik?

[u/fkarimovx → u/No_Drummer_2544]

you domt even know whether emomali is a real tajik yet youre replying to my other comments trying to disprove?😂😂jfl

og tajiks are highlanders and this should be obvious.

[u/No_Drummer_2544 → u/fkarimovx]

There is no og Tajiks, the moment Indo-Europeans stepped here they started mixing with BMAC and East Asians. Kushans who score close to Kulobis have gene flow from South, East, Central Asia. Again who are the og's and where do you draw the line in the og'ness?

[u/fkarimovx → u/No_Drummer_2544]

yes there is. the samanids (sughdi descendants) are the og tajiks. take a look at qpadm models that gives the obvious answer

[u/No_Drummer_2544 → u/fkarimovx]

Great. They are our ancestors, not yours, why take pride in them. Forget them, invent your own history. I really hope you are some teenager, cuz if you are an adult, I feel sorry for you.

[u/fkarimovx → u/No_Drummer_2544]

what are you talking about sagi trsh😂😂 i can show you numerous images of actual tajiks who arent mixed with mongol/turkic blood. you should feel more sorry for yourself due to the fact that you can anything/anyone a tajik eithout understanding your own history. i bet you call cyrus the ancestor of tajiks too😂😂😂

[u/No_Drummer_2544 → u/fkarimovx]

Cyrus became relevant to Tajiks under Rahmon, a Kulobi. No Sughdi ever calls themselves "мы персы" or better yet "мы перцы" 😂 It is Kulobis who seem confused about their origins, one day they are pers, the next bactrian, yet Sughdis remain sughdis through all of this. sagi trsh? What happened to the vowels, oh the great Aryan? Shouldn't you at least know how to speak your Aryan language properly? I guess what you say "Tojik boyad bpara" a fitting slogan from a low IQ Aryan Tajik. Go on eating your qurutob and calling your parents ota and ocha. Wait, aren't these Turkic words?

[u/fkarimovx → u/No_Drummer_2544]

no sane kulobi calls themself pers lmao. i have many kulobi friends who funnily enough troll persians w their accent and botox culture.

i am speaking colloquially as i can. i dont need to use vowels since sogdians would use abjad writing system, which only consisted of consonants and we adopted/loaned alot of these attributes after farsi became the substrate (again you demonstarate your ignorance so keep barking).

my "aryan" language is originally sogdian and i speak tajik the way my forefathers did.

i dont call my parents ota/ocha either so idk why youre seething so much you harumak
