mtDNA Haplogroup of Kurds, Persians, and Tajiks

Today, I want to present the mtDNA data published in the paper "Phylogeographic analysis of mitochondrial DNA in northern Asian populations" by Derenko et al., in 2007, which includes of 25 Kurds from Kurdistan-Iran, 82 Persians, and 44 Tajiks. In a more recent paper (Malyarchuk et al., 2013) the Y-chromosomes of these 25 Kurdish individuals were described.

From the paper:

Most of the haplogroups were determined by RLFP screening using various restriction enzymes. Additionally, the HVRI and HVRII were sequenced.
I also took a closer look at the raw data of the 25 Kurds and tried to give a more precise annotation of the haplogroups.

Since the paper was about Northern Asia I also looked at specific Kurdish mtDNA variants that are shared with others. These shared variants -if very specific, e.g. with rare mutations- can indicate migration.
D4 T16223C, T16362C, A73G, A263G, 309.1C, 315.1C could be also found in 1 Korean (1/103), 4 Buryats (4/295).
H CRS, A263G, 315.1C could be also found in 1 Kalmyk (1/110), 1 Buryat (1/295), and 3 Telenghits (3/71).
J1b1b1 T10410A, C16069T, T16126C, G16145A, C16261T, C16290T, A73G, A263G, C271T, C295T, 309.1C, 315.1C could be also found in 2 Telenghits (2/71).
J1b1b1 T10410A, C16069T, T16126C, G16145A, C16261T, A73G, A263G, C295T, 309.1C, 315.1C could be also found in 1 Persian (1/82).
1xT1a1'3 T16126C, A16163G, C16186T, T16189C, C16294T, A73G, T152C, T195C, A263G, 315.1C could be also found in 1 Chukchi (1/15).

Since haplogroup J is known to be from the Middle East it is interesting to note the presence of the specific J1b1b1 haplogroup in 2 Telenghits that is also present in one Kurd. Additionally, 3 Telenghits carry a T1 variant (haplogroup T also originated in the Middle East) that is present in one Persian, and one Chukni has the T1a1'3 haplogroup that is also present in one Kurd. All of this indicates an ancient migration from Kurdistan-Iran or nearby to Siberia.

Edit:
Regarding the J1b1b1 haplpogroup in Siberia I also looked into fully sequenced people:

EF397558(Buryat) Derenko is identical to FJ624455 FTDNA. FJ624455 is FTDNA 65964 Merante. This individual is in the Sephardic Heritage DNA Project. Considering that the mtDNAs from Buryat and Sephardi Jews are identical the migration must be fairly recent, so these Mideast signals in Siberia could be explained with recent Jewish migration from the Middle East to Siberia.

Castle of Kurds got bombed by Syria

From Wikipedia:

Krak des Chevaliers (French pronunciation: ​[kʁak de ʃəvaˈlje]) (Arabic: قلعة الحصن‎), also Crac des Chevaliers, is a Crusader castle in Syria and one of the most important preserved medieval castles in the world. The site was first inhabited in the 11th century by a settlement of Kurds; as a result it was known as Hisn al Akrad, meaning the "Castle of the Kurds"...Since 2006, the castles of Krak des Chevaliers and Qal'at Salah El-Din have been recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Apparently, the castle is in under attack, this video was uploaded on Friday, July 12nd, 2013.

The weirdest languages on Earth

After my last blog post I had some discussions about common language structures and language phenomena in different languages. Thanks to a comment from CC Bilgin (and other interesting comments) I now know that the repetition of words is called "reduplication" and is not a solely Kurdish language phenomenon but can be observed in many unrelated languages. So, I thought it would be good to have a world map of these language phenomena.

Apparently, I am not the first person with that idea:  Instead of creating I am referring to "The World Atlas of Language Structures" (WALS).  
WALS Online is a joint effort of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology and the Max Planck Digital Library website and it has a lot of great maps comparing various grammar features of languages all over the world.

So the first world map I looked up was, of course, "Reduplication"

(Rubino, Carl. 2011. Reduplication.
In: Dryer, Matthew S. & Haspelmath, Martin (eds.)
The World Atlas of Language Structures Online.
Munich: Max Planck Digital Library, feature 27A.
Available online at http://wals.info/feature/27A
Accessed on 2013-07-06.)

Unfortunately, Kurdish is not included in the map for reduplication but just based on the overall distribution of it, one can say that reduplication is a very common language feature (except in Europe),  not having reduplication in a language is actually "weird".

The next feature I looked up was "Order of Object and Verb" in a sentence.

(Dryer, Matthew S.. 2011. Order of Object and Verb.
In: Dryer, Matthew S. & Haspelmath, Martin (eds.)
The World Atlas of Language Structures Online.
Munich: Max Planck Digital Library, feature 83A.
Available online at http://wals.info/feature/83A
Accessed on 2013-07-06.)

In Kurdish the Verb is at the end of the sentence, so the object comes first. This sentence order is called Object-Verb or simply "OV" (highlighted in blue in the world map).
Most languages have the "OV" or the "VO" sentence order, but very few use both orders depending on the situation and sentence. Languages like Armenian or German don't have a dominant order, which is pretty weird.

Next, I looked up "Gender Distinctions in Independent Personal Pronouns".

(Siewierska, Anna. 2011. Gender Distinctions in Independent Personal Pronouns.
In: Dryer, Matthew S. & Haspelmath, Martin (eds.)
The World Atlas of Language Structures Online.
Munich: Max Planck Digital Library, feature 44A.
Available online at http://wals.info/feature/44A
Accessed on 2013-07-06.)

In Kurdish there is no gender specific "he" or "she" just "ew/v" ( "o" in Zazaki), so pretty easy grammar rule. Turkish, Basque, and Hungarian is like that as well.
Contrary, Arabic has not only a gender specific "he" (huwa (هو)) and "she" (hiya (هي)) but also for the 2nd Person Singular "you" masculine anta (أنت) and feminine anti (أنت). Moreover, Arabic has a gender specific 2nd Person Plural "you": masculine antum (أنتم) and feminine antunna (أنتنّ) and a gender specific 3rd Person Plural "they": masculine hum (هم) and feminine hunna (هنّ), not so easy grammar rules. Arabic also has 2nd Person Dual "you two" antumā (أنتما) and 3rd Person Dual humā (هما). Based on the map, it seems like that Spanish picked up some of these weird gender rules from Arabic (from the Moors?).

These are just a few language features I covered here. The list of maps on WALS Online is long, everyone who is interested in languages should definitely take a look at other maps as well.

The website Idibon ("Language Technologies for a Connected World") went through the provided data of the WALS Online website and determined the "Weirdness-Index" of each language.

Here is a quote from the Idibon website how they defined weirdness:

This is odd. Is this odd? One of the features that distinguishes languages is how they ask yes/no questions.The vast majority of languages have a special question particle that they tack on somewhere (like the ka at the end of a Japanese question). Of 954 languages coded for this in WALS, 584 of them have question particles. The word order switching that we do in English only happens in 1.4% of the languages. That’s 13 languages total and most of them come from Europe: German, Czech, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Frisian, English, Danish, and Spanish.

A total of 21 "weirdness" features were compared, only languages that had data for at least 14 features were included in the final ranking, however, they calculated the "Weirdness-Index" for the other languages as well. The Kurdish "Weirdness-Index" is 0.781 but Kurdish was excluded from the ranking (only 12 features compared), otherwise Kurdish would have been at position #26, so Kurdish is pretty weird.

One of the weirdest language families seems to be the Germanic language family.

Some of the more known languages, their ranking and Weirdness-Index:
#9 Armenian (0.861),
#10 German (0.858),
#11 Abkhaz (0.844),
#12 Dutch ( 0.844),
#16 Norwegian  (0.828),
#21 Czech (0.791),
#23 Spanish (0.790),
#25 Mandarin (0.789),
#33 English (0.756),
#40 Japanese (0.736),
#57 Greek (0.669),
#75 Persian (0.649),
#77 Hebrew (0.639),
#111 Polish (0.564),
#159 Finnish (0.466),
#181 Russian (0.401),
#217 Lithuanian (0.257)
#226 Turkish (0.214),
#230 Basque (0.189),
#235 Hungarian (0.132)
#239 Hindi (0.087).

Repetition of words in the Kurdish language

Today, I want to present a phenomenon of the Kurdish language that I don't know of any other language.

In order to intensify the meaning of a word English uses the word "very", "a lot of" or simply uses a new word for it. Similar, in Kurdish a word can be intensified with the word "zor" (=very), however, in some cases the word itself can be repeated twice to intensify its meaning.

Here are some examples of this repetition

Kurdish	English	Kurdish Repetition	English
rang	color	rang-aw-rang	colorful
dûr	far	dûr dûr	very far
zor	very, a lot, much	zor zor	even more, exceedingly
wurd	tiny, little	wurd-a-wurd-a	slowly
koka	cough	kok-a-kok	a lot of coughing
bola	loud complaining	bol-a-bol	a lot of loud complaining
ming	???	ming-a-ming	grumble
qîzh	scream	qîzh-a-qîzh	a lot of screaming
shirr	squeak, squeal, scream	shirr-a-shirr	a lot of squeaking

The color of the eyes: at least 17 HERC2 variants in Human gene pool

Today, after analyzing the Kurdish gene pool for HERC2 and the Eurasian gene pool for HERC2 I want to add the third post in the HERC2 trilogy. I analyzed additional data from other parts of the world and discovered 10 more existing Human haplotypes and one extinct haplotype in Neanderthals.

All the HERC2 haplotypes of humans, Neanderthals, Denisova and many mammals can be found in the spreadsheet I generated.

Interestingly, the ancestral HERC2 haplotype is ht13, which is present in the Denisova genome and most likely in the Neanderthal gene pool. Ht13 survived at low frequencies in Kumyk from the Caucasus (4%), Chenchus from India (25%), Mongolia (5-6%),  Bantu (3%), Mbuti Pygmies (15%), Sandawe (11%), Puerto Rican (2%) and Dominican (2%).

Below is a rectangular tree of these haplotypes (ht1 and h2 give light eye colors):

The highest variability of HERC2 can be found in Subsaharan Africa and in mixed population of the New World (African American, Dominican, Colombian, Puerto Rican).

Edit: July 02, 2013:

I got some questions why some populations have let's say 20% Branch/haplotype #1 and #2 but not 20% of the population has light eye colors. The reasons is because haplotype 1 and 2 are recessive.
Thus, in order to get light eye colors not one but 2 copies/alleles are needed, one inherited from the father, one from the mother.
How to calculate frequency of light eyes in a population based on my presented tables (based on the Hardy-Weinberg principle):
Frequency of light eyes in a population = (%ht1 +%ht2)²

Example1: Germans have 46% ht1 and 33% ht2.
(46%+33%)²
= (0.46 + 0.33)²
= 0.79²
= 0.62
= 62%
62% of the Germans have light eye color based on the HERC2 genotype.
