@oghurian If the 46% Sogdian segment is re-evaluated as a composite of Khwarazmian+Alan-Sarmatian sources the model becomes much more explanatory.Given that the Oghuz territory was formerly a stronghold for Alan-Sarmat tribes interaction and genetic continuity are historically inevitable
The origin of the East Eurasian component in Turkmens shows a different pattern than Y-DNA alone. Despite the dominance of haplogroup Q, autosomal data indicates that 80–85% of this East Eurasian ancestry comes directly from Hunnic sources, rather than Siberian Scythians+

@oghurian In my view,the Iranian component in Turkmens originates mainly from the assimilation of local Khwarazmians during the Oghuz Yabgu era,particularly through the maternal line.The patterns observed in our Y-DNA tables strongly support this historical integration over a Sogdian model
Many people assume a significant Siberian Scythian autosomal legacy based on paternal markers, but as shown in the data, the reality is the opposite: Turkmens derive the majority of their East Eurasian genetic heritage from their Hunnic ancestors.

With the addition of two individual samples, the Afghan Turkmen dataset now consists of a total of 8 samples. Despite the newly added samples, the average remained unchanged, indicating that the Turkmens of this region carry roughly this level of Turkic genetic heritage
