N number of participants, SD standard deviation, mm millimetre, n-sn nasion to subnasale, n-pn nasale to pronasale, sn-pn subnasale to pronasale, al–al ala to ala, ac-ac ala curvature to ala curvature. a, d, e = identical subscript letters have differences existing between the mean values of two tribes by means of a post hoc test (the p values are only the result of the ANOVA and not the post hoc test). Statistical significance at p < 0.05
