<!-- *Sinyolans* are a contentious social category that is mainly applied to populations of aggregate or fractional descent from the autochthonous Cronite inhabitants of Æonara but do not live in designated indigenous reserves nor follow a comprehensively indigenous lifestyle. Essentially all Sinyolans have some measure of Éorsan Coscivian ancestry, and most Æonaran Coscivians have some measure of Cronite ancestry, but communities and individuals identified as Sinyolan are *perceived* to have a greater genetic and cultural inheritance from the indigenous Cronites than visibly mixed Æonaran Coscivians. Boundaries between the two social categories are somewhat permeable and fluid. Self-identified Sinyolans typically consider themselves distinct from mainstream Æonaran or Umcaran Coscivians. However, whether they consider themselves Coscivians or non-Coscivians varies and is often context-dependent. During the Exile, the Kiravian government vigorously promoted the idea of Sinyolans as part of Coscivian civilisation, though it was inconsistent in characterising them as a Coscivian ethnic group in their own right versus subsuming them under the broader Æonaran Coscivian label. The Sanyao movement began as organised backlash from some Sinyolans against this perceived assimilationist policy and erasure of indigenous identity, and was suppressed by the government-in-exile. It saw a resurgence in the more open political climate of the post-Kirosocialist era --> | <!-- *Sinyolans* are a contentious social category that is mainly applied to populations of aggregate or fractional descent from the autochthonous Cronite inhabitants of Æonara but do not live in designated indigenous reserves nor follow a comprehensively indigenous lifestyle.

The turmoils of | The turmoils of the 20th century AD brought new waves of Coscivian migration to Æonara, first Kiravian {{wp|loyalism|loyalist}} refugees from the Cape after that country's independence, and later anti-communist refugees from [[Great Kirav]] and [[Sydona]] after the Kirosocialist takeover. Socially, the Capetian Loyalist community is well-integrated with the established Æonaran Coscivian population, already sharing a similar culture rooted in a shared colonial history. The ''Xátihomem'' or "Mainlanders" who settled in Æonara during and after Kirosocialism are more socially distinct from the Æonaran Coscivians. They tend to be urbanised and concentrated in select metropolitan areas and certain highland towns. The ''Xátihomem'' use Kiravic Coscivian as their common language, though many speak other ethnic and regional Coscivian languages at home and in other contexts. Between a quater and a third of Mainlanders speak West Coast Marine Coscivian, making it the fourth most spoken language in Æonara. | ||
The Æonara Migration Act of | The Æonara Migration Act of 1968 gave the Æonaran territorial governors authority to grant expedited sponsorship of 3,000 guest worker and medium-term residency permits annually to eligible [[The Cape|Capetian]] citizens wishing to settle in Æonara and Tævuon, exempting them from normal immigration procedures. The Capetian population is concentrated in West Æonara, South Æonara, Tævuon, East Æonara, and Umcara, making up 14% of the total population in South Æonara and 19% in Umcara. | ||
