A focused population profile of Jordanian Arab Christians, with closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Jordanian Arab Christians are Arabic-speaking Christian communities of Jordan, with roots in towns and regions such as Amman, Madaba, Salt, Karak, Ajloun, and other southern Levantine areas.
They generally speak Jordanian Arabic or related Levantine Arabic varieties, while church traditions can involve Greek, Syriac, Latin, and other liturgical languages depending on denomination.
The Jordanian Arab Christian reference is especially useful for comparing Christian Levantine populations across Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, Jordanian Arab Christian is closest to Palestinian Arab Christian, Lebanese Arab Christian Greek Orthodox Koura, Karaite Jew Iraq, Lebanese Arab Christian Maronite Zgharta, Lebanese Arab Christian, and Lebanese Arab Christian Greek Orthodox Beirut. This places it in a southern and central Levantine Christian cluster.
