Masaman's 2021 Ethno-Racial Map of the World (Part 2: Europe)

  • Here is the latest installment in the 2021 Masamap series chronicling the distinct ethno-racial-religious-linguistic groups of the world, this time focused on the European continent. With over 700 million people, Europe is certainly a hardy task to pinpoint the different ethnic and cultural identities that transcend borders and modern nations, but I feel I have created a good representation of not only the historic ethnic groups of the continent, but also some of the more contentious nuances surrounding the linguistic and religious makeup of some of these groups.
    Part 3 will be out shortly, followed by an eventual release of the full map, but keep in mind, some of the areas may change, as I reserve the right to revise and edit my work. Thank you all so much for the encouragement and patience you've shown over the years and thanks for watching!

    As an italian, I think that classifying both Tuscany and Sicily, whose inhabitants have completely different cultures, under the same group, while leaving regions like Emilia-Romagna, which is much closer to the central italian culture than the venetian one, outside of it, is a little weird. I'd suggest making a new subdivision for the central italian dialects, which are spoken in most of Latium, Umbria, Marche and in some parts of Abruzzo, and including the tuscan dialects too in it, since all of these regions have been highly influenced by standard "tuscan" italian language and culture. Nonetheless, great work on everything else, keep going!

      Furthermore Romagna never was part of Lombardy. Indeed the name Romagna (land of romans) is just in contrast with Lombardy (land of lombards=longobardi).
      But you are right about the linguistic issue: both the dialects emiliano and romagnolo are with a celtic substrate like lombard and piedmontese. All dialects under the line La Spezia-Rimini (Tuscan, Umbro, Marchigiano, Romanesco, Neapolitan, Abruzzese, Pugliese, Calabrese, Siciliano) are eastern romance, above the line (Emiliano, Romagnolo, Lombard, Piedmontese, Veneto) are western romance,

      @aleccaruana 3 роки тому +6

      In my opinion, the division of Italy that Daniele suggests - Northern, Central (Tuscany, Lazio, Umbria, Marche), and Southern - is justified but tricky. Such a division occurs in this paper, for example: www.nature.com/articles/srep32513/. The problem with it is that there's significant crossover between the 'Nord' and the 'Mezzogiorno' with the north and south parts of the centre, respectively. For example, people from Lazio and Abbruzzo can both cluster as southerners on a PCA chart, while people from Emilia-Romagna/Liguria and Tuscany can both cluster as northerners. The central group itself also shows significant differences within; Tuscans only share strong genetic affinity with Corsicans and tend to differ genetically from the Latin-Umbrian-Marche group who speak 'Central Italian' dialects. You can see this illustrated on the map and PCA chart in the paper which show (a) the significant overlap between south-central (ie. Lazio) and southern populations and (b) that the more homogenous Tuscan group clusters closer to its northern neighbours than its fellow 'centrals' to its immediate south: i.imgur.com/tpLc14V.png.
      With the North-Central-South division somewhat undermined or problematised by this evidence, a binary North-South division becomes more appealing. The question then is where to draw the cultural/genetic/linguistic 'line.' I think @Masaman classified Tuscan as a part of the Southern group out of linguistic convenience rather than on a historical/genetic basis. Tuscan is traditionally grouped as part of the Italo-Dalmatian language group that dominates Southern Italy, but it is notably not grouped as a 'Central Italian' dialect under the Italo-Dalmatian subheading, it's always considered its own thing relative to the dialects of Lazio, Umbria, and Marche. Genetically and culturally, it makes more sense to put Tuscans in the Northern group with which they somewhat overlap - more so than they do with Sicilians or Calabrians. A map here - www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1683007/ - further illustrates this, showing that both the Campania-Lazio and the Tuscany-Lazio borders are genetically salient while the Tuscany-Emilia border is just linguistic: imgur.com/vdvf8Zr. A map of Haplogroup R1b-u152 distribution further shows Tuscan affinity with the North rather than the South: i.pinimg.com/originals/cb/ba/7d/cbba7d594c9f58d5594200a95adb8377.jpg.
      Tl;dr: I would prefer a North-South binary division of Italy on the map to a North-Central-South one. However, speakers of Tuscan dialects ought to be grouped with the North while Central Italian dialect speakers should be grouped with the South. I do agree with the general sentiment in this thread though that it's odd to see 'Southern Italian' extend all the way up to Tuscany, and if this is solved by splitting Italy in three it would be okay (though not preferable).

    My family is from Southern France (South-East) and I live in Northern France
    And it really seems to me that we have genetical differences
    In my family we all have black or dark brown hair, and when I visit my grand-parents, it’s the same for their neighbors
    But in my school, everyone from French origin (they are mainly from Northern France) has light or medium hair color, most of girls have dark blond hair
    I mean I met no one except me from French origin with black hair (or even curly hair but I am the only one in my family to have curly hair so not very relevant) 😂😂😂
    Physically, there is no difference about skin tone or eyes color, and it difficult to remarks the other differences
    But the difference with hair color is VERY remarkable and I think that it means something
    The differences about Northern and Southern France in food, architecture etc are very numerous

      What I would like is more recognition for our unique slowly dying language. Especially looking at Germany and the eastern and northern Frisian languages which are only spoken by a few thousand people and are very endangered.

      I doubt the genetical difference. Frisians are one of many germanic tribes, which are genetically similar/identical. Saxons, Franks, Thuringians, Allemanns, Bavarians and others are all western germanic, as are the frisians. The difference is mainly cultural/linguistic, but every other tribe has its own dialect/language as well. Saxons speak plattdütsch for example.
      So frisians arent really any different from other germanic tribes.

    What is your opinion on the fact that southern gemany austria, swiss and northern italy used to be settled by celtic tribes some thousand years ago before the germans and romans came and took over? They intermixed with the local population and got absorbed but are still felt today I think. In river names like the danube, Iller, Isen, Glom (doesnt this sound scottish?) or some traditions like austrian wrestling rangeln or the "Rauhnacht". I think this is a thing which is often overlook in modern anthropology/science because the germanic and celts are lumped together in the german speaking wordl or associated with the british isles and at best the parts of france/spain which have minorities their.

When one of these things change, many people already consider it a different ethnicity despite nothing else having changed.

      We are by far mostly Celts. In the south more Mediterranean influence and in the North more Germanic influence. :)
      But overall Celts.

    Great work! Any comment on the recent findings that a majority of Irish have pre-celtic middle eastern DNA?

    It might make more sense to divide Asia up into smaller, more manageable chunks since its such a large grouping of land.

    Does Portugal and Galicia share the same Ethno-racial culture/language?

    • @teixeira476
      @teixeira476 3 роки тому +7

      the language is basically the same for both, galician has a more spanish-like pronounciation. the northren portuguese and galicians have the same celtic roots (there are ruins of the same people groups in both territories), both influenced by christians, arabs and other iberian kingdoms, etc. Although portugal is a VERY homogeneous country (unlike its neighbour spain), i would say there is a slight, almost impossible to differentiate, division between northren and southren portuguese. The south of Portugal has kinda been influenced more by arabs and has virtually no celtic roots, but thats pretty much about it. This is because galicia and portugal were once the same kingdom and portugal conquered its territory from north to south. As I would say, the northren portuguese and galicians are "the original portuguese people".

      in the south of Portugal Arab / Berber influence is counter balanced by the influx of settlers from the northern provinces and by foreigners of the regions of Britain ,France and Germany,that fought in the Reconquista and were given land as reward .Galiza and the third upper part of Portugal are more homogeneous and reflect the remains of the Celtic culture of our ancestors.

      @@teixeira476 You´re wrong, southern portugal has the very same celtic roots as the north. Celts were all around western iberia.

      Portuguese language and settlers came directly from galician language and people.

      Portugal isn't that homogeneous. The native Iberian people were in prolonged contact with Romans, Celts, Germans, Arabs, Phoenicians, etc. There are genetic differences in our territory that translate into physical differences between the population of the southern and northern regions. For example, most Portuguese have brown hair, the minority in the south has dark, curly hair and in the north, blond and straight hair. Another interesting example is the fact that in the northern city, Póvoa do Varzim, there are considerable casesof people with a rare neurodegenerative genetic disease called amyloidotic polyneuropathy. This rare disease is found around the world in some cities of former colonies of Portugal, such as São Paulo. This disease is also common in Sweden, as in Pita, Skelleftea and Uma. This disease was brought on by people from Swedenin the Middle Ages, who settled in this region of Portugal. It should be noted that Póvoa do Varzim has the highest concentration of blonds in Portugal. Genetically and, of course, culturally there are differences associated with Portuguese geography as in any country.
