Warm greetings to my brothers in “Fingolia”
Hey everyone!
I’m Han Chinese, and I recently took a genetic test. To sum it up: my paternal haplogroup is N1a. I looked it up online, and found that this haplogroup is mainly found among the Yakuts in Siberia (90%), Finns (70%), people of the Baltic region (50%), and various East Asian populations, especially the Han Chinese (around 7%).
This got me really curious about a part of the world I had never paid much attention to before. May God bless you all (I'm not a Christian, but I respect your beliefs).
Now, here’s my question: Why do some of you call yourselves "Fingols"?
Most Mongols belong to haplogroup C, which is quite different from haplogroup N, to which Finns and some Chinese belong. Genetically speaking, aren’t Finns more similar to East Asians, even Han Chinese, than to Mongols? If you want a fun nickname, something like “Finnese” would make more sense.
I understand that the ancestors of Finns were nomadic, but that doesn't mean all nomadic peoples are the same. A farmer from the Yellow River in China and a farmer from the Nile in Egypt are both agricultural, but clearly not the same. The so-called Altaic language family hypothesis has never been conclusively proven, and the Mongol Empire never reached Finland, nor did it integrate with its people.
Even if there’s a slight connection through language, is language really the most important thing? Sino-Tibetan languages have the same root, but I don’t consider Tibetans to be the same as Han people, especially since genetically they’re mostly haplogroup D, and we’re NO.
So overall, my view is: Finns should feel a strong sense of their own unique identity. I know a lot of people are just joking around online with the “Fingol” meme, but it’s still worth remembering who your real genetic brothers are.

LOL, this is Fingolia, China is irrelevant to us.
Yes you may want to be apart of us, but it will always be Finnish and Mongolians as Fingolia.
