A focused population profile of Anakalangu people, their Sumbanese and eastern Indonesian background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
The Anakalangu are a population from Sumba in eastern Indonesia, part of the Lesser Sunda Islands. Sumba sits in a maritime zone linking eastern Indonesian, Austronesian, Papuan-related, Timorese, Flores, and broader Island Southeast Asian histories.
Anakalangu is a local Sumbanese language, while Indonesian is widely used nationally and in education. This reference is useful for understanding Sumbanese genetic variation and its relationship to nearby islands and Oceanian-adjacent populations.
As a genetic reference, Anakalangu is useful for comparison with Kambera Wunga, Kambera Rindi, Manggarai Rampasasa, Maori, Tongan, Hawaiian, Bajo, Tahitian, Tongan European-mixed, and Samoan.
In the World Genetics modern G25 table, Anakalangu is closest to Kambera Wunga, Kambera Rindi, Manggarai Rampasasa, Maori, Tongan, Hawaiian, Bajo, Tahitian, Tongan with a European-mixed profile, and Samoan. The strongest regional signal is Sumbanese and eastern Indonesian, with broader Austronesian/Oceanian-related affinities.
| Population | Distance |

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Anakalangu is best interpreted as a Sumbanese/eastern Indonesian profile, close to other Sumba and Flores-region references and more broadly connected to Austronesian and Oceanian comparison groups.
The heatmap should emphasize Sumba, eastern Indonesia, Flores, the Lesser Sunda Islands, Bajo maritime regions, Polynesian comparison points, and wider Austronesian/Oceanian zones.
Yes. Kambera Wunga and Kambera Rindi are the closest matches in this comparison.
They reflect broader Austronesian/Oceanian-related ancestry patterns, though the closest and most local context is Sumba and eastern Indonesia.
Yes. The profile is best read as Sumbanese/eastern Indonesian, with nearby Lesser Sunda and maritime Southeast Asian context.
