A focused population profile of Iraqi Arabs with a Mesopotamian Arab profile, including closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Iraqi Arabs are the Arabic-speaking majority population of Iraq, a country centered on ancient Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Iraqi Arab communities include major regional profiles from Baghdad, the south, the Euphrates, the Tigris, marshland areas, and northern Iraq.
Iraqi Arabic, also called Mesopotamian Arabic, is the main spoken Arabic variety, while Modern Standard Arabic is used formally. Iraq also includes Kurdish, Turkmen, Assyrian, Armenian, Mandaean, Yazidi, and other communities.
This reference is labeled as a Mesopotamian Arab profile, so it should be read as an Iraqi Arab profile centered on Mesopotamia rather than on Levantine or Arabian-mixed Iraqi subprofiles.
In the World Genetics modern G25 table, Iraqi Arab with a Mesopotamian Arab profile is closest to Iraqi Arab Dhi Qar, Iraqi Arab Najaf, Iraqi Arab Dhi Qar Marsh Arab, Iraqi Arab Wasit, Iraqi Arab Maysan, and Iraqi Arab Babylon. The result is a tight Iraqi Mesopotamian Arab cluster.
