Nomadic groups and polities from the north and northwest that historically existed and settled in the borderlands such as the Degei and Duoman peoples were gradually incorporated and some of their customs and fragmentary portions of their languages appropiated by the Corummese. Even today names found in Degei oral traditions are very popular in the northwestern provinces. | ||
The conquests of the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate|Oduniyyad]] brought new groups of completely distinct peoples to the western borders of Corumm, from dusky brown Umardis to charcoal skinned Audonians, these new arrivals left their influence in the farthest peripheries through holy wars, trade and slavery. This gave rise to a local syncretism and intermingling between Audonian and Corummese cultures and languages that continues to this day, especially in the form of the Yue ethnic group that resides mostly in neighboring [[Rusana]]. In the modern era, western Corumm continues to be the most diverse part of the country albeit not without the existence of simmering ethnic tensions only kept at bay by heavy handed government control. | |||
