| Taństans have been part of the Coscivian presence in Ixnay from the first expeditions of [[Kedhur Valēkas]], whose crew were over one-fifth Taństan. Taństans were the primary settlers of Fariva and Axonléga and had a major presence in all of the Coscivian colonies in Ixnay except for [[Etivéra]], [[Váuadra]], and [[Ilánova]].

| | |
| Taństan Coscivian is one of the most widely-spoken Coscivian vernacular language, with a long literary tradition and a well-developed network of Taństan-medium educational institutions, newspapers, and radio stations. It is an official language of Fariva, Axóléga, and the Austral and Itapau Islands. However, there are far fewer monolingual speakers of Taństan Coscivian than of the other vernacular languages of commensurate size, with most Taństans being fluent in Kiravic. Most monolingual Taństan-speakers in Great Kirav hail from overseas colonies or Livensóla.
| |
| | |
| ==Religion==
| |
| Ruricanism is the traditional faith of the Taństan people, but since the XYZth century the ethnic group has become increasingly diverse in terms of religion. Among the modern Taństans there are Archepiscopals, Mercantile Protestants, members of numerous small Taństan-initiated heterodox Christian sects, Iduans, Komarists, Sarostivists, Unitarians, Universalists, and members of urban {{wp|new religious movements}}. Ethnic Taństans who adhere to [[Catholic Church|Catholicism]] are commonly referred to as ''Marþonans'', though this term more properly refers to a specific subgroup of Latin-Rite Catholics Taństans, most of whom live in close-knit communities in rural Axóléga and in [[Avenirskara]]. Some Taństans have adopted Reformed Orthodoxy (Theophilianism). Whatever their creed, however, most Taństans maintain some sort of connexion to Ruricanism, whether in substantive syncretism with their professed religion or more through participation in Rurican rites and traditions in a non-defining or merely cultural way.
| |
| | |
| ==Culture and Customs==
| |
| | |
| The Taństans have a stratified, hierarchical culture that places great importance on notions of social rank, propriety, and protocol.
| |
| | |
| Most Taństan marriages are endogamous, but patterns of exogamy vary according to social rank and class. Rural Taństans are the most strictly endogamous segment of the ethnic group, followed by Republican-class Taństans in metropolitan and micropolitan areas who trace their ancestry to the old yeomanry and lesser nobility of Taństedan. Taństans involved in the maritime industry, seaborne commerce, and the navy have traditionally been more open to exogamy, while many aristocratic Taństan families have intermarried with families of comparably high status from other Coscivian groups. With regard to intra-ethnic marriages, rank, class, and ancestry play a major role in determining whether a pairing is acceptable. Marriages between Taństans from very different levels of the social hierarchy are strongly discouraged, and families often have strict standards as to which bloodlines are worthy of marrying their sons and daughters. Several services, including both for-profit companies and nonprofit societies, collect information on Taństan marriage prospects in a particular region, as well as their family histories, and publish this information in annual "marriage almanacs" to help young Taństans seeking spouses. {{wp|Cousin marriage}} is traditionally accepted among the Taństans, and in fact preferred among some subgroups.

| The Taństans have a strong {{wp|tea culture}} that sets them apart from other Coscivian-Kiravians, who have generally come to prefer coffee since settling in Ixnay and have developed a coffee culture adapted from [[Culture_of_Caphiria#Food_.26_Drugs|the Hekuvian]]. Taństan tea culture includes several {{wp|tea ceremony|tea-centred rituals}}, a literary canon of {{wp|Tea classics|tea classics}}, and the inclusion of tea consumption into other aspects of life, such as business meetings and hospitality customs. Like other Coscivians, the Taństans regularly visit the graves of deceased relatives, and have the unique traditions of leaving cups of tea or burning tea leaves as a grave offering.
| |
| | |
| ==Interethnic Relations==
| |
| The Taństans are closely related to several other Coscivian ethnic groups, including [[Southern Kiravians]], Tínorem, Liscem, Ebondem, Candem, and Ayonarem, some of which share Taństan Coscivian as their mother tongue; and more distantly to the {Erasmem or whatever we're calling them now}, Nūrthem, and Lúnstem.
| |
| | |
| Historical animosity between the Taństans and [[Ĥeldican Coscivians]] in Éorsa has carried over to Kiravia, and there remains a great deal of distrust and hostility between Taństan and Ĥeldican populations living in close proximity to one another. In Fariva, members of the many non-Taństan groups that have immigrated to the state over the centuries often pride themselves on being different from the politically and economically dominant Taństans, despite having adopted many aspects of Taństan-derived Farivan regional culture.

|
| |
| ==Distribution==
| |
| Taństans can be found throughout the Kiravian Federacy. They are strongly associated with the lower states of the Far Northeast, such as [[Fariva]], [[Axonléga]], Serikorda, and {{wp|Rhode Island}}, as well as Erinava, Iscavia, and the Aromatic Isles. Large populations can be found in [[Venèra]], northern [[Etivéra]], Oceantropica, Candava, [[Kiygrava]], [[Devalōmara]], and [[Ventarya]]. [[Southern Kiravians]] and [[Tínorem]], the historically dominant ethnic groups of South Kirav and the Míhanska Bay states respectively, are of primarily Taństan ancestry but are now seen as distinct (though closely related) peoples rather than Taństan subgroups.

| *Þanetsar, capital of [[Devahoma]]: 36% Taństan
