Iranian and Arab too probably

Iranian maybe, but not Arab

Levantine in any case for southeast, i don't think they have a lot of arab tbh.

southeast anatolia. *

No I don't see Levantines as Arabs

They're Arabized Levantines

@󠀂 󠀂 Actually, Seljuks didn't mix with the Iranians that much. Only those who settled in Iran, like Azerbaijan area

Egyptians aren't really Arab either

Oh

Yeah Azerbaijan is basically Iranians who speak Turkish

(Oghuz) Turkic people in Iran today

True egiptians are still mediterranean copts.

Azeris are Oghuz too?

Yeah

Despite nor being arabs, can we consider levantines as semitic too?

What did OG Oghuzes look like

@arsenicMysticist original Levantines were Semitic

I bed the OG Oghuzes looked like Kazakhs

Phoenicia and Israel were Levantinr

And nowdays levantines aren't?

They still are

But a different kind of Semitic

They speak Arabic now

Back in the day they would've spoken Hebrew, Aramaic, or some Phoenician/Canaanite dialect

Aramaic was definitely an important language

In what sense are they diferent aside from the language and culture?

Well genetically there are probably some Hellenic tracea

And ofc Arab

Real Arabs are dark af but many Levantines look not too different from Greeks or Italians

I don't think so XD

I like some Turk names, Levent, Mehmet, Koray, Suleiman

Mashriqi perhaps? Idk man, i know a good handfull of levantines that have that kind of "arabic" look on their features but are very white.

And some Levantines look straight up white

Palestinian girls are cute

Btw Oghuz had that kinda oriental look, not stricktly mongoloid.

I know a guy who is half Lebanese half Irish

Suleiman is an arabization of Solomon tho.

Despite being half Arab he can't grow a beard

Sad

Suleiman and Sulayman are still better than SHLOMOH

But yeah I'd say the OG Levantines were probably white
