In Remote Tajik Mountains, Pamiris Keep Unique Culture Alive 

They are descendants of Iranians and Scythians. Idk where this Alexander myth came from.

@@alexanderabdulov9434 they look more caucasian than average iranian/afghan but they still dont pass in europe unless they r roma gypsy

The Iranians themselves are descended from bronze age European tribes connected to the Andronovo horizon. Iranian is an Indo-European language that was brought to Iran from eastern European/Siberian nomadic tribes (similar to Scythians but older than that). These tribes mixed with the even more ancient peoples who had lived in Iran since the Neolithic.

@@Wowzersdude-k5c afghans and tajiks have more R1a1 haplogroup than iranians .. most iranians have near eastern and caucases origins

Iranians are mixed with Arabs. Pamiris are much more pure.

its just a myth. Im from hunza and and a lot of people believe that we, pamiris and wakhis are descendants of ancient greeks, its kinda dumb to be honest but im pretty sure some people from these regions have individual European ancestry

It's RFERL, what do you expect from them? They have to feed the populist in the west so that people will watch them.

Typical western nonsense.lol you can't get purer and more native than a people living in a 7000mt mountain chain. Greetings from your Brothers and Kin in Iran✌❤ درود

@@nizar151 The Kandahar inscriptions (Edicts of King Ashoka) erected from around BC 260 were written in both Greek and Aramaic. So some of you in the region may indeed have some Greek ancestry. That said, you guys do speak an Old Eastern Iranian language, which descends from old Indo-Aryan. So your ancestors likely did migrate from proto-Indo-European homelands somewhere near the Caucasus mountains.

You are not Persians, the Persians originated from South Iran and have more Middle Eastern ancestry. Your language is not descended from Persian. Your language and culture are distinct. You are descended from the Indo-Iranian tribes and have the highest Sintashta DNA in Central Asia. You are much purer than the Persians.

Bless you. But Iranic not only persian.

@@Muizz1987 parsa parsi = all Iranian people

They are not Persian

@@saeeddookat2330 No

we are the real Aryans and not the people from today's iran

No, we are Shia Ismailis, we don't call ourselves Persians

do SEPARATE Pamiris from the rest of the Tajiks because we're not tajik ffs. We're not tajik and we preserved our OWN culture not the "tajik" one. I'll never call myself tajik

You call yourself whatever you want but don’t enforce your own beliefs on others. Also you are not an elected representative of Pamiri people to speak on our behalf. Most of us, almost all of us don’t feel ourself Tajik and we can clearly see the differences between us and Tajiks. That does not mean that we hate or disrespect Tajiks. That means we are different people and we deserve to be recognized.

as far as i noticed tajiks have a bit of uzbek and other admixture in them not all but many

u are not Pamiri, go back to Dushanbe

Wait pamiri are east iranic but not tajik they are east iranic like pashtuns Kurds and baloch

@@hashmatamin3710 read about tajiks! They are EASTERN IRANIC OF CENTRAL ASIA! Same as pamiris, pamiris keps they old dialect of iranic language unlike tajiks who accepted modern form of new persian lang

@@Roropromt1 I know but they are a distinct group if they are eastern iranic it doesn’t mean they are tajik stop stole our identity

@@Roropromt1 and Tajiks dna is more turkic then iranic

@@hashmatamin3710 who’s identity?

Russian is just language for international discussions as many people in ex soviet countries speak this language

We speak Russian so other people can understand us since it is lingua franka in region

we are not tajiks, bro stop

An italian ethnologist, Cacopardo, has studied that. There used to be the same pre-vedic indo-aryan culture in that mountainous area, the Badakhshan and Cachemire, with a religion similar to hinduism but european pagan celebrations.

They are Pamiris people Shia Muslims Ismaili live in Pamir .

Agreed! They say the same about any lighter skinned non Indian looking Pakistani too!

What about pashtun😂

They are indo european

Yes you’re correct. They are pure East Iranians. They have the highest Sintashta DNA in Central Asia.

@@wilhelm4760 not on average, I only see 10-20 for a average tajik, 45 is just a outlier sample

We pamiris are all Shia

Their name Pamir came from the region they reside in, Pamir Mountains

Ahh yes as a Pamiri I'm proud to be part of East Albanian empire 🤣

Not a single pamiri has any connection with Greeks we are iranic people as tajiks pashtuns ossetians

@@fashionguide2446 wakhi are pamiri east iranic group not turkic in any case. I don't know about kalash

@@jutea9858 Pamiris are not Persian
