The '''Pine Swamp Coscivians''' are a socially insular and poorly-understood endogamous social group comprising some eight clans who traditionally inhabit poorly-drained pinelands and some coastal wetlands along the Eastern Seaboard of Great Kirav. Six of the eight clans live in South Niyaska, while the remaining two live in Trinatria. Each clan has a {{wp|moiety|moïetic}} relationship with one of the other clans, with men from one moïetically-paired clans only marrying women from the other clan, and vice-versa.

The Pine Swamp Coscivians are thought to be primarily descended from early Taństan and mainland Akúvaric Coscivian colonists in Kiravia. Their language appears to be a Taństan-based creole or jargon which is not mutually intelligible with the traditional speech of neighbouring non-swamp Old Niyaskan families.
The Pine Swamp Coscivians are thought to be primarily descended from early Taństan and mainland Akúvaric Coscivian colonists in Kiravia. Their speech appears to be a heavily {{wp|mixed language}} with Kalvertan, Iforian, and (esp. in Niyaska) Kir lexical influence, which is unintelligible to neighbouring non-swamp Kalvertan, Iforian, and Old Niyaskan families.
