A focused population profile of Tiznit Shilha Berbers, their southern Moroccan Amazigh background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Tiznit Shilha Berbers are Tachelhit-speaking Amazigh communities from the Tiznit and Souss-Massa/Anti-Atlas area of southern Morocco.
Tachelhit/Shilha is central, alongside Moroccan Arabic and French. Tiznit sits within the southern Moroccan Amazigh zone between the Souss, Anti-Atlas, and Saharan-edge routes.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Tiznit Shilha ancestry is best interpreted as southern Moroccan Amazigh, close to broad Shilha, Ait Atta, Errachidia, Ouarzazate, Saharawi, Central Atlas, Mozabite, and Beidan references.
The heatmap should emphasize Tiznit, Souss-Massa, the Anti-Atlas, southern Morocco, Ouarzazate, Errachidia, Saharawi regions, and Central Atlas/Amazigh areas.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Berber Morocco Shilha. Other nearby references include Berber Morocco Shilha Ait Atta, Berber Morocco Central Atlas Tamazight Ifrane, Moroccan Arab Errachidia, and Berber Morocco Shilha Ouarzazate.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Berber Morocco Shilha is the closest listed match to the Berber Morocco Shilha Tiznit average after removing Berber Morocco Shilha Tiznit itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Berber Morocco Shilha Tiznit G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
