Orenstians are by far the largest non-Occidental group in Levantia, characterised by [[Orenstian languages|their distinctive languages]]. Orenstian culture is predominantly centred in north-eastern Levantia, with the significant exception of the [[Khunyer]], a group whose long migration westwards across Levantia led them to settle in what is now western [[Hendalarsk]] in the early medieval period. Although the Khunyer are a minority in Hendalarsk, they have held equal cultural status in the country since the aftermath of the [[Hendalarskara Civil War]], and [[Khunyer language|their language]] is a co-official national language in the country. The region of [[Khunyeria]], where most Khunyer live, bears their name, and in recent decades a Khunyer diaspora has sprung up through migration across Levantia, both in the Orenstian heartlands and elsewhere. | Orenstians are by far the largest non-Occidental group in Levantia, characterised by [[Orenstian languages|their distinctive languages]].

Orenstians also form part of the cultural fabric of [[Lutsana]], a former Deric State settled as a marcher realm during the time of [[Great Levantia]]. Although still formally part of the Levantine world through its membership of the Levantine Union, Lutsana is very much a mixed society, and the Orenstian language and heritage of much of its population shapes the state down to the present day, just as the Levantine sphere has shaped those Orenstian societies which border it to this day. | |||
