Gaels, also rarely known as Indigenous Levantines, are an ethic group native to Levantia and parts of Kiro-Borealis. Gaels made up the vast majority of the aboriginal population of Southern Levantia prior to the arrival of Latins from Adonerum, and remain the ethnic majority across much of Northern Levantia, with a significant diaspora in Kiravia and across Southern Levantia, with smaller populations in Levantine colonies worldwide.

Origins
Language and Culture Subgroups
Fhainnin/Fhasen
Fhainnin people, the dominant gaelic subgroup in Faneria, can be further divided into Sheafhainn, Fhainn Proper, Parvefhainn, and Cascufhainn. Cascufhainn are a mix of Caerish and Fhainnin descent, Parvefhainn are mixed with Fiannrians and Latins, and Sheafhainn have minor historic relations to Kiravian Coscivians. Regardless of their wide dispersal, the various regional dialects in Faneria were slowly coalesced into Fhasen by the Eighteenth Century. Fhainn have a number of unique linguistic and cultural traits that diverge from mainstream Gaelic cultures, partly due to the history of states in Faneria and its proximity to the Coscivian world.
