A focused population profile of Bari people, their South Sudanese Nilotic background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Bari people are a Nilotic-speaking population associated mainly with South Sudan, especially Equatoria and areas around Juba and the White Nile basin.
Bari is a Nilotic language, while Juba Arabic and English are widely used in South Sudanese public life. Bari identity sits within the wider Nilotic and Equatorian context of South Sudan, with neighboring Dinka, Nuer, Shilluk, Kakwa, and other communities represented in the database.
As a genetic reference, Bari is useful for comparison with Anuak Ethiopia, South Sudanese, Dinka, Shilluk, Nuer, Kakwa, Aringa, Nuba, Nuba Koalib, Dangaléat, Maba, and Daju Nyala Gemar.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Bari is Anuak Ethiopia. Other nearby references include South Sudanese, Dinka, Shilluk, and Nuer. This gives the Bari profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Bari ancestry is best interpreted as Nilotic and South Sudanese, close to Anuak, Dinka, Shilluk, Nuer, Kakwa, Aringa, and Nuba-related references.
The heatmap should emphasize South Sudan, Equatoria, Juba, the White Nile basin, Anuak regions, Dinka and Nuer areas, northern Uganda borderlands, and nearby Nile Valley/Sahelian references.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Anuak Ethiopia. Other nearby references include South Sudanese, Dinka, Shilluk, and Nuer.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Anuak Ethiopia is the closest listed match to the Bari average after removing Bari itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Bari G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
