What is that?
Also, would you classify the Italian-speaking Swiss as "Italians"?

The Romansh is a Romance ethnic group, and the Italian-speaking Swiss are ethnically Italian, but see themselves as being Swiss.

--- Quote from: EagleEye on September 08, 2007, 11:16:28 PM ---Armenoids are a geographical variant of the Dinaric subtype, therefore, Romanians/Serbs/Bulgarians are fairly similar to ashkenazi Jews.

What is Dinaric a sub-type of, Alpine?

I believe not, though Dinarics may be mixed with some amount. Alpines would be slavs, typical Polish or Russian person.

--- Quote from: Hail Columbia on September 08, 2007, 11:10:03 PM ---* the Romands, traditionally speaking Franco-Provençal dialects, today largely assimilated to the standard French language (Swiss French), amalgamated from the Gallo-Roman population and Burgundians (the historical Upper Burgundy). They are closely related to the French (especially those of Franche-Comte).

So that brings us to the question of what is the makeup of The French? I know the native French population (Those from the original Gaul.) are related to the original inhabitants of The British Isles [The Galic-speaking peoples of Wales (Derived from "Gaul".), Scotland, and Ireland.]. I think these French still live in Britanny and Normandy. All these people are descendants of Gomer, from Japheth, son of Noah.

The French people are made up of a mixture of Gauls (Celtic), Franks (Germanic), and Romans.
EagleEye:
I think that this gentic testing has proven that although Jews tend to be either ashkenazi or sephardic, it is membership to a religious community that makes someone truly Jewish, not genetics. Someone with a Jewish father clearly has Jewish DNA, but is not Jewish by Orthodox standards. Someone with no Jewish DNA can convert.
Jews are not a race.
