A focused population profile of Gilak, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Gilak is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Gilak with other modern populations in the database.
The label should be read as a population reference name rather than a complete description of every individual, family, language, region, or community history connected with Gilak.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Gilak is Mazandarani. Other nearby references include Persian Hormozgan, Tat Iran, Lur, and Kurdish Sorani Iran Kermanshah. This gives the Gilak profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Gilak average. It should be read as a model of deep ancestry components, while the closest-match table is the better guide to which modern populations are most similar in G25 space.
The heatmap gives the Gilak profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Gilak average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Mazandarani. Other nearby references include Persian Hormozgan, Tat Iran, Lur, and Kurdish Sorani Iran Kermanshah.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Mazandarani is the closest listed match to the Gilak average after removing Gilak itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Gilak G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
