A focused population profile of Newar, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Newar is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Newar 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 Newar.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Newar is Nepali (Newar Profile). Other nearby references include Manipuri Brahmin, Tharu, Nepali (Tharu Profile), and Kusunda. This gives the Newar profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.
| Population | Distance |

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Newar 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 Newar profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Newar average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Nepali (Newar Profile). Other nearby references include Manipuri Brahmin, Tharu, Nepali (Tharu Profile), and Kusunda.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Nepali (Newar Profile) is the closest listed match to the Newar average after removing Newar itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Newar G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
