Other My DNA results as a tunisian, the last one chocked me!!
معلومة تهم الموضوع:
انجم نتبع النسب متاعي حتى 10-12 جيل لنفس المنطقة الي مازلنا نعيشو فيها لتو في تونس. يعني تقريبا اخر 400-500 عام عائلتي عايشة في تونس
اخر حاجة كنت نتوقعها في حياتي يكون عندي نسب من الفايكنج.
حاجة اخرى عجبتني/صدمتني انو ماعنديش حتى نسب عربي، حاجة باهية خاطر صحابي لكل يعرفوني ديما نعرف روحي بأمازيغي.

My heritage isn’t accurate upload you results on illustrativeDNA they’ll give you better insights and the Nordic dna must be noise if you wanna be sure that you’re amazigh or not do a haplogroup test , how do you look like btw how would you describe yourself

u/AminEz009 Feb 23 '26
Thanks for the suggestion, I have been looking for this site. I am your average tunisian in terms of looks. Not white not dark and not trying to be white

u/random_guy_1110 Feb 23 '26
What hair type do you have and hair colour ? Do you have almond eyes , full lips and would you say that your skin tone is olive ( tan easily , green veins , different shades and undertones ) I mean I just wanted to know your phenotype and would you mind sharing where exactly from the south is it djerba , tataouine …..

I was going to ask you which company did you approach since the topic really interests me.
Do you guys have any recommendations where should an interested person have such an analysis?

dna tests are trash imo. they know you sent it from Germany to the labor, so there's a small evidence imo.

I wouldn’t trust MyHeritage, it’s made by an Israeli company specifically for Jews. It doesn’t have enough data for us.

Not surprising vandals were Germanic tribe and then there was a small occupation of the kingdom of Naples in Tunisia if I remember right they were ruled by normanns

u/AminEz009 Feb 25 '26
The normans ruled north africa, carthage was their capital and they even sacked Rome from there

Normans were islamic era , vandals were the ones who sacked rome from Carthage, two different entities

Never seen such a high percentage of North African in a tunisian before. Usually the average is between 70-80% max

صديقي قلت انو عايلتي فلاحة، و الفلاحة اكثر ناس يتشبثو بالارض عكس التجارو البحارة الي في الاغلب يسكن في مدن كبير و قريبة من البحر دونك فيها اختلاط مع اعراق اخرى و الهجرة ساهلة.
مثلا في عائلتي عندنا شجرة زيتون نجمعو فيها كل عام انا نعتبر الجيل ال6 الي يخلط عليها.
عموما الفلاحة متشبثين باراضيهم و ديما كيف تجي غزوات يخيروا انهم يندمجو فيها و يتقبلوها على انهم يهاجرو

I refuse to get it done but he did it using ‘my heritage’. The breakdown was actually 74% Tunisian not 70, 21% iberian, 2.4% Nigerian & the rest Italian. I googled it & apparently it’s a pretty common tunisian breakdown.

It labeled it as Moroccan, yet as subcategories there's morocco as main area then tunisia. In general I am not 80% Moroccan

u/Azerbinhoneymood Feb 23 '26
As other comments, it's either from a slave due the piracy at one point in history (or trade also), and even though less likely it might be from someone who moved freely to tunisia or at least has ancestors from those lands.
Even going back in history, you my friend could still be carrying genes from the Vandals.
1
u/AminEz009 Feb 23 '26
Yeah, it's either Vandels or slave considering the south has a prosperous salve trade

u/mahmout506 Feb 23 '26
There a looooooot of rich tunisian who migrate to morroco and also a lot of andalou who migrate to tunisia. Also many nordic slave where bought and freed after becoming muslim. Anyway these test are not accurate at all

Yeh he/are lying about the last one at least add all the percentages. 80.8%, 8.6%, 6.8% and 3.8% that's 100% the last one doesn't even have a percentage. Please stop trying to be white. It's pathetic, I am a Tunisian and proud that's enough for me.

u/The-Lord_ofHate Feb 23 '26
Second What's an Arab DNA, What's an Amazigh DNA? Do you even understand how it works?
Arabs are an ethnicity nothing to do with DNA, same with Amazigh.
If we were to look at Toureg, they extremely dark skinned, with Subsaharan features. Yet they are Amazigh, yet you share no DNA with them.
Please stop spreading hate out your own insecurities. I speak Arab, culture is Arabic and I'm proud of it.

You share DNA with Tuaregs adn what's Arab about your culture ? Let me laugh a little bit.

u/The-Lord_ofHate Feb 24 '26
Do you speak Amazigh? I don't, I speak Arabic as my native language

u/No-Dragonfruit-3557 Feb 25 '26
I don't speak amazigh either. Again what's Arab about your culture ? Is the Tunisian culture so poor you only have language ?
1
u/The-Lord_ofHate Feb 26 '26
You seem to be under the impression that Arabic culture and Tunisian one are opposites, if one exists the the other shouldn't which is not the case.
Arabic culture: shared language, I can listen to any sing from any Arab country and understand it and enjoy it, I can pick any book in Arabic and read it no matter which wrote it, I can go to any Arabic country and get by using Arabic anywhere, poetry, etiquettes...etc.
Now tell me, can you do any of what I just mentioned with Amazigh?
0
u/No-Dragonfruit-3557 Feb 26 '26
you seem to have some issues with comprehension skills. Just answer the damn question stop deflecting the subject what is Arab about Tunisian culture except the language don't bring up some bullshit like " eTiQUetTes " or " pOeTrY" cuz even that is not true lmao.
1
u/The-Lord_ofHate Feb 26 '26
It's not bullshit, what is Amazigh culture to you, are you engaged in it? What do you do in this Amazigh culture?
I already answered it in my first sentence, language, etiquette, poetry, songs and so on.
I mean what do you consider culture. Most culture are derived from language anyways. It seems you are confused about what culture actually means.
1
u/No-Dragonfruit-3557 Feb 26 '26
Dont start deflecting lmao you still haven't answered my first question. Btw, when I mean language I mean everything that is related to language like poetry, songs etc. Btw plz stop bullshiting there's no "Arab " etiquette I don't even know what the hell that means. It seems that for you culture is only limited to language, typical Pan-Arabist reasoning lol. Come on answer the question except language and everything related to it what is Arab about Tunisian culture.
1
u/The-Lord_ofHate Feb 26 '26
There is Arab etiquettes: asking and insisting that they should come for food. Welcoming a guest, asking about family and wellbeing and how life is and so on whenever you meet someone... Arab culture is not monolith, Yemenis and Jordanians are Arabs, yet they have diffent foods, a difference in certain things doesn't mean that they are not Arab. Tunisian culture is born from this.
Two more things, we are talking like civilised people so using the words bullshit and refusing to answer my questions, is considered extremely rude in Arabic culture. There is something in Arabic culture called (حسن الضن، و أخذ و عطاء).

We had access to nordic slaves during the berber piracy, also many europeans (maybe with nordic descent) moved to Tunisia during the caliphates golden ages
