Do you think Somalis and Eritreans look like each other?

[Sigmundd]

I would say yes but at the same time we dont. I can tell the difference usually through their eyes and lips which gives me away they're Habesha but I also noticed a lot of ajanabis these days can also tell the difference but I think it's not really genuine but out of hate when they say Somalis and Eritreans don't look nothing like each other. I mean we might not look the same but we do look similaor since they share the same phenotype as us.

I know eris and they mostly look similar. I had a eri friend that I thought was Somali for months. Another was a girl I was moving to time ago who was Eri Hijabi that I thought was Somali also

depends on the tribe

Exactly we look very similair especially if they wear hijab. I would say it's mostly Habesha guys that look more somali from what I seen although I can still somehow tell they're Habesha because of their lips and eyes which is a dead giveaway.

True I'm mainly talking about Tigrinya since they make up the majority in the west.

Tigrinyas look like Ethiopians to me. Afars Saho & some Tigre's look Somali adjacent

Ofcourse they look like Ethiopians since they're both families and are both Habesha. The other cushitic tries like afar saho look similair but not alike. They still somehow manage to look psyedo Habesha.

 

[TheLand]

Yes very similar look except they are much shorter so makes it easy to tell apart.

 

[CABDULWALI XASAN.]

Absolutely, I think eritreans and afars look way more closer to us then oromos. even though it dosent line up genetically.

The only oromos that look somali are some of the eastern ones with somali in them. So many times I have seen a eritrean aswell as some afar and tigrayans that look 95% somali.

Are Jabertis in Eritrea related to Somalis?

 

[EritreanPost_]

Does he look Somali too

 

[wonyluvr]

Only some ethnic groups

 

[Garaad.XIV]

It varies by tribe. The largest group, the Tigrinya, who are most commonly seen in the diaspora, generally don’t resemble Somali features. They tend to have the distinct Habesha appearance.

Honestly i have never seen the other tribes in real life.

Nope. He looks very Habesha to me

Even Afar, saho from what I seen look more Habesha than Somali.

They don’t look Habesha at all, the eritrean ones just have more foreign admixture than us so they’re lighter that’s all. They don’t have anny Habesha features at all.

Afar in/around sitti + djibouti look like 5’5 somalis.

True, they look like they have a bit more foreign blood. But from what I seen they don't really look Somali. Like you can tell they're either Eritrean, Ethiopian or Sudnaese with some of them.

They aren’t Habesha. The majority of their Y haplogroups fall within E, with 60% and some E-V32, possibly from Somali traders who settled there or from groups that stayed while the rest of the proto-Somali migrated further south.

The Habesha claim Axum, but its history is more accurately associated with the Tigre and Tigrinya people, as well as the Ge'ez language. The Habesha people are genetically diverse, with their largest Y haplogroup being J1, which likely originated from Yemen and may account for their characteristic height.

I always thought this guy was Somali especially with the last name.

He literally has the bug eyes commonly associated with Habesha features.
