A focused population profile of Georgians from Tbilisi, their South Caucasus background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Georgians from Tbilisi are part of the Georgian population of the South Caucasus. Tbilisi is Georgia's capital and largest city, historically positioned between eastern Georgia, western Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, the North Caucasus, Iran, Anatolia, and the Black Sea world.
Georgian is a Kartvelian language written in its own script. It is unrelated to Indo-European, Turkic, or Semitic languages and forms part of the wider Kartvelian family alongside Mingrelian, Laz, and Svan.
As a genetic reference, Georgian Tbilisi should be read as an urban Georgian and South Caucasus profile. It is useful for comparison with western Georgian, Mingrelian, Kartlian, Kakhetian, Meskhian, and other Georgian regional references.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Georgian Tbilisi is Mingrelian Nokalakevi. Other nearby references include Mingrelian Jgali, Mingrelian Lia, Mingrelian Tsalenjikha, and Georgian West. This gives the Georgian Tbilisi profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry model gives deep component proportions, while the closest matches show the modern context. Georgian Tbilisi clusters inside a South Caucasus and Kartvelian reference space, with western Georgian and Mingrelian entries especially close in this dataset.
The heatmap should emphasize Georgia and the South Caucasus, especially western Georgian and Mingrelian reference zones alongside Tbilisi's broader urban Georgian context.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Mingrelian Nokalakevi. Other nearby references include Mingrelian Jgali, Mingrelian Lia, Mingrelian Tsalenjikha, and Georgian West.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Mingrelian Nokalakevi is the closest listed match to the Georgian Tbilisi average after removing Georgian Tbilisi itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Georgian Tbilisi G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
