A focused population profile of Jordanian Arab Muslims, with closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Jordanian Arab Muslims are the majority population of Jordan, a southern Levantine country east of the Jordan River and north of the Arabian Peninsula. Jordan includes urban, rural, tribal, Bedouin, Palestinian-origin, Circassian, Chechen, and other communities.
Arabic is the official language, and everyday speech includes Jordanian Arabic varieties within the broader Levantine Arabic continuum. Modern Standard Arabic is used formally in education, media, religion, and government.
The Jordanian Arab Muslim reference is useful for comparing southern Levantine Muslim profiles, especially Palestinian Muslim, Gaza, Levantine Iraqi, Syrian, and Arabian-adjacent references.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, Jordanian Arab Muslim is closest to Palestinian Arab Muslim, Iraqi Arab Nineveh with a Levantine profile, Palestinian Arab Muslim Gaza, Iraqi Arab Babylon with an Arabian-mixed profile, Iraqi Arab Nineveh mixed Levantine-Mesopotamian, and Iraqi Arab Maysan Arabian-mixed. The strongest direct match is Palestinian Arab Muslim.
| Population | Distance |

The ancestry model shows deep components, while modern matches place Jordanian Arab Muslim in a southern Levantine Arab cluster with Palestinian references and some nearby Iraqi Arab profiles that lean Levantine or Arabian-mixed.
The heatmap should emphasize Jordan, Palestine, the southern Levant, and adjacent northern Arabian and Mesopotamian border regions.
Yes. Palestinian Arab Muslim is the closest non-self match to Jordanian Arab Muslim in the World Genetics comparison.
The closest match is southern Levantine, but Jordan's position near northern Arabia means some references can show Arabian-adjacent context.
Not exactly. Jordanian Muslim clusters closest to Palestinian Muslim, while Jordanian Christian clusters closest to Palestinian Christian and other Christian Levantine references.
