A focused population profile of Wakhi, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Wakhi is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Wakhi 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 Wakhi.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Wakhi is Pamiri Sarikoli. Other nearby references include Pamiri Ishkashim, Tajik Badakhshan, Kho, and Pashtun Afghanistan North. This gives the Wakhi profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Wakhi 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 Wakhi profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Wakhi average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Pamiri Sarikoli. Other nearby references include Pamiri Ishkashim, Tajik Badakhshan, Kho, and Pashtun Afghanistan North.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Pamiri Sarikoli is the closest listed match to the Wakhi average after removing Wakhi itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Wakhi G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
