The problem we have with defining Edom is that over time our gedolim began to use ethnic terms that had specific geographic and linguistic references for Imperial and religious meanings. For example, Edom came to be defined as the Roman Empire, and later the Catholic church. Ishmael came to be defined as Islam and Muslims, even though that religion only came into being 1350 years ago. So any actual ethnic reference that may have applied to Edom, which disappeared as a kingdom before Rome rose across the Mediterranean, no longer held much value. But if you are asking who the people who lived in the Negev/Jordan/Saudi area around the gulf of Aqaba and north and east of it most resemble in linguistic and genetic terms, it would be their cousins to the southeast.
