''' | '''Montanarans''' is an umbrella term for the various Slavic tribes inhabiting the of the eastern highlands of [[Pelaxia]]. The Pelaxian term ''Montanaro'' literally means mountaineer, and is not only used to refer to the ethnic group but also to ethnic [[Pelaxians]] who've migrated to live in the highland regions. Montanaros themselves identify as the specific Montanaro clan they originate from, usually named after the patronymic founder of the tribe, largest of the clans being the Ucarisa clan. | ||
While most Montanaros live in the eastern highlands, many Montanaros over time since the 18th century have migrated down from the highlands to the more arable flatlands near the western coast. With the industrial development of Pelaxia, also many Montanaros have left the region to other parts of Pelaxia after employment of education, with Montanaro communities in other parts of Pelaxia not being an unusual sight. Largest Montanaro communities outside of the eastern highlands are in Valariano, where they've found success in the shipbuilding industry. The Montanaros language is a topic of debate in Pelaxia, with Montanaros demanding it to be recognised as an official language and granted the protections it brings. Linguistically, as well as genetically, Montanaros are related closest to [[Volonia]]ns, and many Montanaro separatists believe the Montanaro region should be part of Volonia. | While most Montanaros live in the eastern highlands, many Montanaros over time since the 18th century have migrated down from the highlands to the more arable flatlands near the western coast.
