==Society & Culture==
Tryhstian culture is dominant in the territory and central to its identity. Ethnic Tryhstians, who account for just over two-thirds of the territory's residents, trace their genetic and cultural heritage back to the Old Tryhstian people of what is now [[Heku]] and [[Insui]], and to the mediæval Celtic societies of Great Kirav. The Old Tryhstians were a mercantile and seafaring people who spoke a divergent dialect of Hekuvian Latin that evolved into the modern Tryhstian language. The Tryhstians arrived in Great Kirav from across the [[Sea of Odoneru]] first to establish seasonal fishing settlements and then to establish trading posts. The towns and cities that grew out from these trading posts, inhabited by the descendants of Tryhstian merchants and local Celts, would later form the territorial basis of the Tryhstian Littoral.  
Lusonic culture is dominant in the territory and central to its identity. Historically, the majority of the population were of direct Cartadanian extraction, whether immigrants or their Kiravian-born descendants. Today are a few dozen of these "Old Tryhstian" Cartadanian families with roots in the Littoral before Kirosocialism living in the territory. The majority of the Littoral's contemporary Lusophone population arrived after its reëstablishment in the 21190s. These include recent immigrants from Cartadania and the Cape, Lusonic-Kiravians from other parts of the country (mainly Farravonia and the Kiygrava), and a much smaller number from Lusophone Crona.  


The largest non-Tryhstian groups in the Littoral are Coscivians and Hekuvians.  
The largest non-Lusonic groups in the Littoral are Coscivians and Hekuvians, with an additional minority of Levantines, mostly South Levantines.

===Language===
Tryhstian is the territory's first official language (as designated by the Territorial Charter) and the primary working language of the government. It is the most widely-spoken language in the territory and the main language of instruction in public schools. Nonetheless, the territory is quite multilingual: Some forty percent of ethnic Tryhstians report an "intermediate command" of Kiravic or better, while two-thirds of Coscivians report an intermediate or better command of Tryhstian. Around 50% of the non-Hekuvian population reports a firm command of Latin, compared to the national average of 11%. Italian, Greek, and Lebhan are also widely understood.
{{wp|Portuguese language|Lusonic}} is the territory's official language and the primary working language of the government. Over two thirds of the population claim Lusonic as their native language, though it is believed that actual home usage is somewhat lower, as many ethnic Lusonic-Kiravians who migrated from other states still prefer to speak West Coast Marine Coscivian or Kiravic in private, and that some Cartadanian immigrants from other linguistic backgrounds similarly misreport as Lusophone. Nonetheless, Lusonic is the predominant language of public life.


Most public signage in Tryhstia is bilingual (Tryhstian and Kiravic), with the exception of streets signs (almost exclusively Tryhstian) and public transport and safety signs (which are also printed in Latin). Shops and businesses in urban areas popular with foreign visitors usually offer signs, menus, and other written materials in Tryhstian, Kiravic, and Latin, while more peripheral areas conduct business entirely in Tryhstian. Court proceedings in the territory may take place in either Tryhstian or Kiravic, and both languages are permissible for addressing the ''Cortes''. A law introduced in 21205 gives police officers who can pass a standardised Latin exam priority with regard to promotions.
Most residents of the Tryhstian Littoral are multilingual to one degree or another. Some sixty percent of Lusophone report an "intermediate command" or better of a Coscivian language, and a similar percentage of of Coscivian residents report an intermediate or better command of Lusonic. 24% of the non-Hekuvian population reports a firm command of Latin, compared to the national average of 11%. {{wp|Ligurian language|Sintalian}}, {{wp|Greek language|Istroyan}}, and [[Lebhan language|Lebhan]] are spoken by minority communities.

The Tryhstian Littoral is officially a bicalendrical jurisdiction, with both the Reformed Iatic calendar and Gregorian calendar in use as civil calendars, but in practice, the Tryhstian/Hekuvian majority and the vitality of international commerce to the territory's economy ensure that the Gregorian calendar is the main one used in everyday life.
