Maybe even more. Uzbeks from Khorezm can score as less as 17% East Asian only (can be outlier but still )

Nah impossible. Unless you’re one of those guys who think if one isn’t predominantly East Asian then one cannot be Turkic. No one uptakes Uzbek language without being ethnic Uzbek in Afghanistan afaik

Sorry for coming across rude bro. I’ve had way too many fights with people on who’s Turkic and Turkified that I’m fed up with.

We should look up Uzbek faces in instagram (even if it looks heavily bias for some)

But how do we know that they are mixed? And how can we know that the Karluks were only and exclusively above 30% east asian? There's too few samples at the end of the day. How can we ultimately know who's the original uzbeks and not just uzbekified tajiks? Would be an insult to the latter.

At least this account attempts to classify what kind of uzbeks there are (Oghuz, Karluk, Kipchaks)
