Æonara has a [[Coscivian civilisation|Coscivian culture]] shaped by the rich heritage of Coscivian traditions transplanted by Kiravian settlers, as well as influences from the indigenous peoples absorbed and subsumed into the settler society, particularly as regards foodways, agricultural techniques, and the culture's relationship to its natural environment. | |||
The Æonaran Coscivians, who trace their ancestry back to the first and (to a lesser degree) second waves of Coscivian settlers, form the largest ethnic group on the island. They share most of their culture in common with the Umcaran Coscivians. Their language, Æonaran Coscivian, is characterised by many archæic and divergent features that differentiate it from modern Kiravic Coscivian (with which it is not mutually intelligible), as well as by a great many loanwords from local Cronan languages. It is an official language in all states of Æonara; and is spoken natively by an outright majority of the population in South Æonara. The second largest Coscivian ethnic group on the island are the closely related Umcaran Coscivians. | The Æonaran Coscivians, who trace their ancestry back to the first and (to a lesser degree) second waves of Coscivian settlers, form the largest ethnic group on the island.
