I left the circle we were in though
She is from the European side of Constantinople
I knew a Brazilian that had the hots for s Turkish girl
I'm not sure about them
they see east Asians as cousins though right? That could suggest they are related
Well
Turks are Altaic in origin
There has also been plenty of mixture throughout history at this point
But modern Turks are more Greek, especially in West anatolia
aye
You mean turkish from turkey or turkic?
Yes i was about to say that lmao.
Also by the time the Seljuk Turks arrived in Anatolia they had a lot of Iranian admixture
Yeah that's true , Turkish people were mixed to the Greeks mainly when they got to the Anatolia.
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
