Who are Marathi?
Marathi is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Marathi 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 Marathi.
What is Marathi DNA closest to?
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Marathi is Indian South. Other nearby references include Dusadh, Uttar Pradeshi Chamar, Sinhalese, and Tamil Sri Lanka. This gives the Marathi profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.
