Paisonic Coscivians are the largest single ethnic group in Kiygrava, followed by Sedhan Coscivians, [[Ensciryan Coscivians|Æran Coscivians]], [[Taństem Coscivians]], and Gaels, but the state is home to members of virtually every Coscivian ethnic group, as well as many non-Coscivian peoples, ranging from Gaels to [[Azikorians]] to the indigenous Tapkek. | Paisonic Coscivians are the largest single ethnic group in Kiygrava, followed by [[Kir people]], Sedhan Coscivians, [[Ensciryan Coscivians|Æran Coscivians]], [[Taństem Coscivians|Taństan Coscivians]], and Gaels, but the state is home to members of virtually every Coscivian ethnic group, as well as many non-Coscivian peoples, ranging from Gaels to [[Azikorians]] to the indigenous Tapkek. | ||
Traditionally a Kir-majority state, large-scale migration from elsewhere in Kiravia and abroad since industrialisation has given modern Kiygrava a highly multiethnic character. Many Kiygravans today are described (or describe themselves) as ''Úramdikir'' (roughly "hyphenated Kir") who speak Kiravic as their mother tongue and live in a primarily Kirish cultural context but also owe ancestry and affinity to other (mostly Coscivian) ethnic groups. Numerous (mostly perjorative) terms exist for the converse phenomenon of upwardly-mobile people who identify affirmatively as non-Kir but use Kiravic as their main language and do not live in a compact ethnic community. | |||
There are two socially distinct populations of [[Taństan Coscivians]] in Kiygrava: The Green Taństans, who have deeper roots in Kiygrava, usually pre-Kirosocialist, and the Blue Taństans, who are the product of more recent waves of migration from the Northeastern states and elsewhere. The two groups are so named for their alignment in [[Intracity Sporting Rivalry in Valēka|Valēka's intracity sporting rivalry]]: older Taństan families in Valēka mostly support the Valēka Metropolitans (who wear green uniforms), while newer arrivals mostly support the Valēka Emperors or the Béyasar Blues (both of whom wear blue uniforms). | There are two socially distinct populations of [[Taństan Coscivians]] in Kiygrava: The Green Taństans, who have deeper roots in Kiygrava, usually pre-Kirosocialist, and the Blue Taństans, who are the product of more recent waves of migration from the Northeastern states and elsewhere.
