Okay so I took a dna test and I was wondering if these haplogroups are common amongst somali?
I am sheekhal aw qutub on my dad said and sheekhal qallu On my mom sideYou are more related to my Moroccan in-laws then to the vast majority of Somali males
Are you Sheekhaal/Sheekhaash?
Your paternal group is pretty common among your clan specifically.It is an Amazigh/Berber lineage.During the Medieval Period some Islamic scholars from Morocco and Tunisia were present in the Horn, we have evidence of that through the book Futuh Al Habasha which was written during the time of Imam Ahmed bin Ibrahim (aka Ahmed Gurey to Somalis).I am sheekhal aw qutub on my dad said and sheekhal qallu On my mom side
Your ancestor was Arab....just an Arabized Berber like the vast majority of the MaghrebOk so I told my mom about it and she said that Fiqi Omar was an Arab and nt North African so the test was fake lol![]()
Is the other half Ethiopian?Oh and another question if im only 45% Somali im still and ethic Somali right?
If you don't mind can you post a screenshot? I'm not surprised by the Oromo as your mother subclan is known for living among the Oromos and your ancestors were probably responsible for making them Muslims and teaching them the deen.Most oromia and western peoples??? Ethiopian with some Amhara region, and then some Turkish arab and south asain![]()
I don’t really want to for personal reasons and what’s on there….. but yea im not calling my people pagans since im not a self hater and that would be disrespectful to my mom since she considers her self as an Oromo, plus if we play that game we gotta thank Arabs for showing us Islam and you know im not about to do thatIf you don't mind can you post a screenshot? I'm not surprised by the Oromo as your mother subclan is known for living among the Oromos and your ancestors were probably responsible for making them Muslims and teaching them the deen.
The pagan Oromos should thank your ancestors!
I don't think that G individual was Shekhaal.As far as I'm aware, Sheekhaal are an interior clan but perhaps an unrelated foreign religious group on the Banadir coast took the Sheekhaal name for themselves.That individual falls under the same branch as the Yemeni Ashraaf Ba'Alawi's of Hadhramawt who were also attested to be in modern SL/Eastern Ethiopia during Imam Ahmed's daysSheekhaals have very interesting set of haplogroups. You are not the first one with a foreign haplogroup, there's another sheekhaal sample that belong to haplogroup G which most likely came from Portugal.
