Who looks more alike: Lebanese and Yemenis or Pakistanis and Maldivians?

If Moldovans were replaced with some South Europeans (Sicilians, Aegean Greeks, Maltese, Calabrians, etc), then the answer would have easily been Pakistanis and one of the aforementioned Southern European groups.

Maldivians bro, also Moldovans are predominately southern. Calling them "just white" vs. Southerners is ridiculous given that they also have a lot of Turanids among them lmao. But your assertion must be one of the most ridiculous things ever said, to compare Pakistanis to Southern Europeans is insane - especially vs. Lebs/Yemenese. Even if Lebs don't look Yemeni they still have overlap with them, while most Southern Europeans have almost no overlap with Pakistanis - minus certain south-East/East Euros where Pontids are common.

But they are heavily concentrated in certain regions. The more urbanised south of Pakistan is overwhelmingly Indid.

Bro, even Pashtuns in Pakistan just look like their Indid neighbours. Pashtuns are diverse but the lightest and most west Eurasian looking groups are usually found in Afghanistan.

Not really bro, look at Adam saleh's family, they all could pass as Lebanese easily. The differences is not that big when comparing Pakistanis to flipping maldivians!!!!

Adam Saleh isn't really the average Yemeni at all, it is true that most Yemenis look like this:









But some of the lighter ones, which are a minority, could pass as Lebanese like Adam or guys like this:


The two Yemenis I've been closest to in my life both look quite light and not stereotypical Yemeni looking though, both could pass as Levantine and one even as European. But still most can't pass as Lebanese.

Although I do agree that the most lightest pashtuns do reside on average in Afghanistan, just purely based on the fact that they have significantly less south Asian like admxiture, climate, and more likely to related to the original proto pashtuns + other eastern Iranic tribes.

However , photos like the ones above aren't any good, I mean, first three pictures are from Karachi, so there is a good mix of pashtuns, pashtun admixed with sindhis etc and non pashtuns . The fourth picture are sindhis not pashtuns.

Here is a region where it's mainly pashtuns

( The presenters aren't from that region I believe)

These one are more in the cities ( within KPK), so you have a mix of pashtuns, hindkos etc.

I can't understand their Pashto though, it's way too mixed.

Edit : second pic is from Peshawar not Karachi
