The '''Taineans''', known in [[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]] as '''Taínos''' and in [[Brenadine Tainean]] as '''Tainiens''' ([[Castadilla]]/[[Equatorial Ostiecia|Ostiecia]]) or '''Taino''' ([[Arona]]), are a [[Cronan peoples|Cronan]] ethnic group found in [[Vallos]]. By the mid-to-late [[15th Century]], they were one of the three principal inhabitants of the subcontinent alongside the [[Loa]] and the [[Latinic people|Latins]], with the Taineans mostly residing alongside the Latins in the northern half of Vallos. Historically, the Taineans have lived in agricultural societies ruled by [[kasikes]] with fixed settlements and a matrilineal system of kinship and inheritance (a system that modern Tainean culture still follows to this day). Tainean religion centred on the worship of the [[semi|semi'no]], which has since been adapted to revolve around major figures in Christianity. | The '''Taineans''', known in [[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]] as '''Taínos''' and in [[Brenadine Tainean]] as '''Tainiens''' ([[Castadilla]]/[[Equatorial Ostiecia|Ostiecia]]) or '''Taino''' ([[Arona]]), are a [[Cronan peoples|Cronan]] ethnic group found in [[Vallos]].

The Taineans of western Vallos have diverged the most from the original Taineans, having spent many years under cultural suppression and thus have occidentalised the most. Millions of people in Vallos today identify as Tainean or claim Tainean descent, most notably in Arona, Equatorial Ostiecia, and northern Castadilla where many have Tainean {{wp|mitochondrial DNA}}, indicating descent through a direct female line. Certain communities have claimed an unbroken traditional cultural heritage passed down from their Cronan forefathers, others are more occidentalised, and others still have underwent [[re-Taineanisation]] since the mid-[[20th Century]]. | ||

In 1925, ethnohistorian [[Michael Aedan Finnean]] referred to the Taineans as the "Vallosi Crona", expressing their origins from Crona. Since then, some scholars and writers have referred to the group as "Cronans" or "Vallosi Cronans". However, contemporary scholars and many Tainean cultural associations have recognised that the Taineans have developed a language and culture distinct from the Crona. | In 1925, ethnohistorian [[Michael Aedan Finnean]] referred to the Taineans as the "Vallosi Crona", expressing their origins from Crona.

Since the mid-20th Century, re-Taineanisation policies have made it so that the terms Tainean and Taíno should refer to the Crona-originated people of Vallos. Tainean nationalism since the 19th Century has led to the terms being claimed by the Taineans themselves as their original endonym has been lost to time. Many modern scholars have subdivided the Taineans into three main groups: Traditional Taineans, from [[Arona]]; Burgo-Taineans, or Brenado-Taineans, from [[Equatorial Ostiecia]] and [[Castadilla]]; and Pelaxo-Taineans, from | Since the mid-20th Century, re-Taineanisation policies have made it so that the terms Tainean and Taíno should refer to the Crona-originated people of Vallos.
