| | | | 1707 - Deaths: Encyclopedia II - Britain - Britain and Brittany The original reference seems to have been to the territory in which the Brythonic languages were spoken, which more or less coincided with the Roman province of Britannia, an area equivalent to modern England, Wales and southern Scotland. In the Early Middle Ages speakers of a Brythonic language which later evolved into Breton migrated from Cornwall to Armorica, Western France, possibly because of pressure from Saxon invasions. This is why different forms of the same name apply to insular Britain and continental Brittany. In French the similarity is even more obvi ...

Unusually, Jat groups share only two haplotypes, one of which is also shared with Turks (Turkey), and have few matches with neighbouring Pakistani populations. This haplotype shared between the two Jat groups may be p ...
