Taormines are a Mediterranean people with Greek and Italic ancestry. Though historically {{wp|Eastern Orthodox}}, they are now almost exclusively members of the {{wp|Byzantine Rite|Byzantine-Rite}} Greek Catholic Church of Ibykia. They are extremely religious, with upwards from 60% practicing religious rites on a daily basis, and the majority of Taormine children attend church schools. Taormine culture is high-context, kinship-based and communitarian, with the village and extended family regarded as the formative units of society.The Taormine people speak Ibixo, a creole derived from Romance/Late Latin and successive strata of Ancient, Koiné, and Byzantine Greek. There are three coëxisting orthographies for the language: the Cyrillic script adopted under Eörlingan rule, a modified Latin script incorporating certain Greek letters that was exclusively used until the Eörlingan conquest, and a recently-devised Iatic orthography to facilitate government communication with Taormines using keyboards, software, and fonts designed to write Kiravic. The Cyrillic script is the most widely used today, appearing in handwriting, newspapers and magazines, signage, and business materials, while the Latin script has remained the norm in literature, academic writing, and digital communication. The Iatic script enjoys mostly auxiliary use in government documents and for filling out forms. | Taormines are a Mediterranean people with Greek and Italic ancestry.

Because of the special privileges granted to them in Ibykia by Kiravian immigration law, Ibykia is the main destination for emigrants of [[Quazuaria|Quazuarian]], Shiá [[Absurranian]], and Olmoni backgrounds from the [[United Islamic Federation]]. The first wave of refugees fled Quazuaria during the [[Ten Day War]], while others left later on citing religious and political discrimination. The Shi’a community is very politically active with regard to issues affecting their homeland, and murals depicting Shi’a cleric [[Ayatollah Khayatini]] and Kiravian politician [[Ilham Haydar]] can be found in most Shi’a neighbourhoods. This community benefits from new mosques and community programs courtesy of the All-Kiravia Shiïte Mosque Fund. | Because of the special privileges granted to them in Ibykia by Kiravian immigration law, Ibykia is the main destination for emigrants of [[Quazuaria|Quazuarian]], Shiá [[Absurranian]], and Olmoni backgrounds from the [[United Islamic Federation]].
