In the plans is a map of possible Urheimat propositions for native Caucasian languages

Note: Georgian here only refers to Georgian-speaking peoples, not Kartvelian tribes in general (as "Kartvelian" and "Georgian" are used interchangeably in an ethnic sense)

Armenian Y-DNA Origin (Big-Y, n=963)

Keep in mind that Hurro-Urartian and Semitic lineages were sometimes very close to each other and there might be some inaccuracy between them. Most "Not Armenian" clades were most likely of Urartian and Anatolian origin but to be safe I labeled them as vaguely "Not Armenian".

Nakh-Dagestani is mostly from Kura-Araxes Culture remnants, which would be most likely Nakh-Dagestani, not from modern Nakhs and Dagestanis

Note that this is a heatmap for absolute quantity of the clade, not the frequency in local populations.

Heatmap of J2-CTS6804 in Georgians. This clade is associated with Nakh peoples and reflects remnants of ancient Nakhs assimilated by Georgians. Some of these lineages are more recent and come from Nakhs who were exiled for heavy crimes such as murder.
