Question: What nationality do I sound like!?
I know people will say you can't generalize but i'm just wondering what nationality I look like based on these features!.

I get asked "what nationality are you!?" a lot, more than any person I know!. and everyone seems to think i'm something different!. I don't want to post a picture so i'll just describe my features!.

I'm 5'2" with dark brown wavy hair!. I have light brown orange-ish eyes!. olive skin!. very small/thin boned!. prominant collar bone!. long straight medium sized nose!. skinny lips!. thin eye browns!. big almond eyes!. long eye lashes!. circular/oval face!.

i'm sure people will say stupid comments but I thought I would ask anyway!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would say you have European and Indian Ancestry!. Alternatively you could have European and Asian!.

I get asked this question a lot too! I think even if we know our ancestry, we don't know for sure where we absolutely come from!. A lot of tourists ask me where I come from!. I have strangers walk up to me and ask me where I am from!.

I have Irish, Scottish, some English, French and Welsh ancestry!. Some people say I look middle eastern !.!.!. so it's all very interesting!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Your nationality is where you have your citizenship and nothing else!.

It is not the same thing as race, ethnicity or ancestral heritage!. It is not the country from which your ancestors immigrated!.

In genealogy we really don't think about how a person appears in making a decision on their ancestry!. We trace ancestry with documents/records!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you should just ask your mum and dad what nationality they are to get some kind of idea!. and maybe find out some background history on your family like what nationality your grandparents are and that!. but you probably know, so from the description i'd probably say indian tooWww@QuestionHome@Com

The features you've described sound like those typically seen in South-Eastern Europe!.
Then again, I'm technically South Eastern European, and most people assume that I'm Scandinavian, so it really depends!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
