A focused population profile of Swahili Zanzibar, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Swahili Zanzibar is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Swahili Zanzibar 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 Swahili Zanzibar.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Swahili Zanzibar is Swahili Kenya Tchundwa. Other nearby references include Swahili Kenya Pate, Swahili Kenya Ndau, Swahili Kenya Faza, and Tunisian Arab Douz (Intermediate Shwashin Profile). This gives the Swahili Zanzibar profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

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