The land of their people are the ethnostates they currently reside in. They live in homogenous communities, not typically intermixed with the Han. And they've been there for hundreds of years. Genetically, they're closer to the Han than Arabs. Just like how Croats, Serbs, and Bosniaks are closely related. It's just that hundreds of years ago, some members of the tribe they were in converted to a different religion.
