Turkey
Afro-Turks are people of Zange (Bantu) origin in Turkey. Like the Afro-Abkhaz, they trace their origins to the Ottoman slave trade. Beginning several centuries ago, a number of Africans, usually through Zanzibar as Zanj and from places such as Niger, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Kenya and Sudan entered the Ottoman Empire, populated by Dalaman, Menderes and the Gediz, Manavgat and Çukurova valleys. African quarters of 19th century Izmir, including Sabirtasi, Dolapkaya, Tamashalik, Ikicheshmelik and Ballikaya, are mentioned in modern records.
There are a number of communities in South Asia that descended from African slaves, traders, or soldiers. These communities are the Siddi, the Shedi, the Makrani, and the Sri Lankan Kafras. In some cases they became very famous, such as Jamal-ud-Din Yakut, Hoshu Shidi, or the rulers of the state of Janjira. The Mauritian Creoles are the descendants of African slaves like those living in the Americas.
Some Pan-Africanists also consider other peoples to be diasporic African peoples. These groups include, among others, the Negroes, such as in the case of the peoples of the Malay Peninsula (Orang Asli ); New Guinea (Papuans); the Andamans ; some peoples of the Indian subcontinent and the aboriginal peoples of Melanesia and Micronesia. Most of these claims are dismissed by mainstream ethnologists as pseudo-science and pseudo-anthropology as part of an ideologically motivated Afrocentric irredentism promoted primarily among some extremist elements in the United States who have no thought for the dominant African American community. Mainstream anthropologists determine that the Andaman and others are part of a network of authoritarian ethnic groups present in South Asia that trace their genetic lineage back to a migration sequence that ended with the emergence of Australian Aborigines, not directly from Africa. Genetic testing has shown that the Andamanese belong to the Y-chromosome haplogroup D-M174, which is shared with the Australian Aborigines and the Ainu from Japan, not the true African diaspora.
