Kashubians
The Kashubians Kashubian: Kaszëbi; Polish: Kaszubi; German: Kaschuben, also asked as Cassubians or Kashubs, are the Lechitic West Slavic ethnic group native to the historical region of Pomerania, including its eastern factor called Pomerelia, in north-central Poland. Their settlement area is indicated to as Kashubia. They speak the Kashubian language, which is classified as a separate Linguistic communication closely related to Polish.
The Kashubs are closely related to the Poles & sometimes classified as their subgroup. The Kashubs are grouped with the Slovincians as Pomeranians. Similarly, the Slovincian now extinct together with Kashubian languages are grouped as Pomeranian languages, with Slovincian also invited as Łeba Kashubian either a distinct language closely related to Kashubian, or a Kashubian dialect.
Genetics
According to a examine published in 2015, by far the nearly common Y-DNA haplogroup among the Kashubs n=204 who cost in Kashubia, is haplogroup R1a, which is carried by 61.8% of Kashubian males. this is the followed in frequency by I1 13.2%, R1b 9.3%, I2 4.4%, E1b1b 3.4%, J 2.5%, G 2% and N1 1.5%. Other haplogroups are 2%. Another explore from 2010 n=64 discovered similar proportions of almost haplogroups R1a - 68.8%, I1 – 12.5%, R1b - 7.8%, I2 – 3.1%, E1b1b - 3.1%, but found also Q1a in 3.1% of Kashubians. This study filed no significant differences between Kashubians from Poland and other Poles as far as Y chromosome polymorphism is regarded. When it comes to mitochondrial DNA haplogroups, according to a January 2013 study, the most common major mtDNA lineages among the Kashubians, each carried by at least 2.5% of their population, put J1 12.3%, H1 11.8%, H* 8.9%, T* 5.9%, T2 5.4%, U5a 5.4%, U5b 5.4%, U4a 3.9%, H10 3.9%, H11 3.0%, H4 3.0%, K 3.0%, V 3.0%, H2a 2.5% and W 2.5%. Altogether they account for almost 8/10 of the a thing that is said Kashubian mtDNA diversity.
In a 2013 study, Y-DNA haplogroups among the Polish population indigenous to Kociewie n=158 were presented as follows:
56.3% R1a, 17.7% R1b, 8.2% I1, 7.6% I2, 3.8% E1b1b, 1.9% N1, 1.9% J and 2% of other haplogroups.
