A focused population profile of Bezhta people, their Dagestani highland background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Bezhta people are a Northeast Caucasian population from highland Dagestan, linguistically connected to the Tsezic branch.
Bezhta is the core local language, while Avar and Russian may be used in wider regional contexts. The genetic profile sits close to other Dagestani and Northeast Caucasian highland groups.
As a genetic reference, Bezhta is useful for comparison with Hinukh, Tsez, Hunzib, Georgian Khevsurian, Chechen, Bagvalal, Tabasaran, Georgian Tushetian, Chamalal, and Tindi.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Bezhta is Hinukh. Other nearby references include Tsez, Hunzib, Chechen, and Georgian Khevsurian. This gives the Bezhta profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Bezhta ancestry is best interpreted as western Dagestani/Northeast Caucasian, close to Hinukh, Tsez, Hunzib, Bagvalal, Chamalal, Tindi, Chechen, Tabasaran, and nearby Georgian highland references.
The heatmap should emphasize highland Dagestan, Bezhta/Tsezic areas, Avar and Andic-Dagestani regions, Chechnya, Tabasaran areas, and the northeast Georgian highlands.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Hinukh. Other nearby references include Tsez, Hunzib, Chechen, and Georgian Khevsurian.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Hinukh is the closest listed match to the Bezhta average after removing Bezhta itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Bezhta G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
