'''Fhainnin civilization''' is a relatively new concept formed in the 1800s as an extent of [[Pan-Gaelic Theory|Gaelic nationalism]] which states that Gaelic peoples, specifically those in [[Faneria]] and to a lesser extent [[Caergwynn]], retain a significant enough degree of freedom from Latin and Coscivian civilization to constitute a unique and dynamic culture in its own right. The idea of Fhainnin civilization is specifically reactive to and in opposition towards the idea of Latin civilization 'taming' Levantia, and is loosely associated with [[Counter-Equatorial Movement|antiequatorial theory]]. It is explicitly exclusionary towards Gallic peoples in modern [[Urcea]] and [[Dericania]], with an unclear consensus on [[Fiannria|Fiannrian]] and [[Carna|Carnish]] people. | The '''Fhainnin civilization''' is a grouping of peoples who share a related ethnic heritage or primarily speak the [[Fhasen]] language. Generally considered a subset of Gaelic and in most cases wider Occidental civilization, Fhainnin peoples typically share ancestry with Gaelic peoples and the Fenni, an extinct first people settled in northwest [[Levantia]]. Fhainnin peoples in modernity generally speak the same language, but vary in heredity in a number of ways. Other ostensibly Fhainnin peoples share little common ancestry with the Fenni but primarily speak and act in accordance with Fhainnin culture; a small number of ethnic Fhainn are completely separated from the Fhasen language. This variance has created a large grey area as to the boundaries of Fhainnin civilization, with the [[Faneria|Republic of the Fhainn]] acting as the locus of Fhainnin peoples worldwide. | ||
==People Groups== | |||
Fhasen people are generally broken into three primary groupings: Fenni-Descent Fhasen speakers, non-Fhasen speakers with Fenni descent, and Fhasen speakers lacking Fenni descent. The last category exists primarily due to the social programs of the Kingdom and later Republic of the Fhainn, which has cemented its national identity around the Fhasen language rather than ethnic ties, as the number of subgroups within the wider Fhainnin umbrella often created separatist movements within the country. Combined with aggressive cultural programs in the 18th and 19th Centuries, forced migrations, and the creation of the common language as a replacement for regional tongues, every notable Fhasen-speaking group shares a common culture. However, the distinct groups within Fhainnin culture remain in the form of local customs and dialects. | |||

Because of Fhainnin culture's distinctive elements and widespread use of artificially-imposed language alterations, many Gaelic peoples outside Faneria do not associate Fhainnin civilization with wider Gaelic civilization, as the culture of Faneria has veered away from the shared culture of other Gaelic peoples in numerous key aspects. This is in spite of attempts by Fhainnin scholars to place Faneria as the center of the modern Gaelic world, which has been met with considerable academic backlash as the Fhainnin people have been historically classed as a mixed race due to their partially non-Gaelic heritage. | Because of Fhainnin culture's distinctive elements and widespread use of artificially-imposed language alterations, many Gaelic peoples outside Faneria do not associate Fhainnin civilization with wider Gaelic civilization, as the culture of Faneria has veered away from the shared culture of other Gaelic peoples in numerous key aspects.
