The '''Delepasians''' ([[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]]: | The '''Delepasians''' ([[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]]: Delepasiano) are a [[Vallos|Vallosi]] {{wp|ethnic group}} descended from [[Pelaxian colonization of Vallos|predominantly Pelaxian settlers]] first arriving at the [[Bahía de Los Rumas]] with [[Isurians|Isurian]] Captain [[Mauricio José Delepas]] in [[1497]]. Until [[1994]], they were the only group allowed to take part in [[Rumahoki]]'s politics. Delepasians make up approximately 61.6% of the total Rumahokian population, based upon the number of Rumahokians who self-identified as Delepasians in the [[Rumahokian National Census of 2028]]. [[Rumahokian Pelaxian]], Rumahoki's most widely spoken home language, evolved as the {{wp|First language|mother tongue}} of Delepasians. It originated in the [[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian vernacular]], incorporating words brought from the [[Adonerii]] and the now-extinct indigenous [[Vallosi people|Vallosi]]. | ||
The arrival of Delepas at Bahía de Los Rumas in 1497 opened a gateway of free access to Vallos from [[Pelaxia]]; however, it also necessitated the founding and safeguarding of the Pelaxian colonies from not only indigenous resistance, but also from foreign navies from [[Kiravia]] and [[Burgundie]] with the latter leading to a series of clashes lasting from the early [[16th Century]] until [[1665]]. As the colonies grew and prospered, some of the colonists, both notable and common, have began to practice intermarriage with both the remaining indigenous Vallosi and the [[Latinic people|Latins]]. Despite their diverse nationalities, these three groups have intermingled, using Pelaxian as the common language and adopting similar attitudes towards politics. The attributes they eventually shared served as a basis for the evolution of an Delepasian identity and consciousness separate from the wider [[Pelaxians|Pelaxian culture]]. | The arrival of Delepas at Bahía de Los Rumas in 1497 opened a gateway of free access to Vallos from [[Pelaxia]]; however, it also necessitated the founding and safeguarding of the Pelaxian colonies from not only indigenous resistance, but also from foreign navies from [[Kiravia]] and [[Burgundie]] with the latter leading to a series of clashes lasting from the early [[16th Century]] until [[1665]].

The term "Delepasian" (sometimes in the forms ''Delepasan'' or ''Delepase'', from the name Delepas) currently denotes the politically, culturally, and socially dominant and majority group among the non-indigenous groups of [[Rumahoki]], or [[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]]-speaking population of [[Pelaxians|Pelaxian]] origin. Their original progenitors, especially in paternal lines, also included smaller numbers of [[Cartadanians]], [[Latinic people|Latins]], and the indigenous [[Vallosi people|Vallosi]] people. Historically, the term "{{wp|mestizo}}" has been used to describe the Pelaxian-speaking colonists further in-land as a group, with ''Vallosi-Pelaxian'' being used to describe the colonists who lived in coastal areas and thus were completely of Pelaxian ancestry; these aren't particularly objectionable, but "Delepasian" has been considered a more appropriate term. | |||
By the late eighteenth century, the term was in common usage in the Pelaxian colonies of eastern [[Vallos]]. At one time, ''mestizos'' denoted the Pelaxian-speaking colonists who lived away from the coast: those settlers who engaged in intermarriage more often, and did so regularly regardless of social status. Most Pelaxian-speaking settlers who lived in coastal areas saw themselves as ''Vallosi-Pelaxians'' despite never having intermarried with the indigenous Vallosi. Both terms have remained in use as late as the 1850s. | |||
The first recorded instance of a colonist identifying as a Delepasian occurred in July 1797, during the tricentennial of Delepas' discovery of the [[Bahía de Los Rumas]]. When the author [[Juan Guerrero]] wrote, "''Hace trescientos años, el intrépido héroe Mauricio Delepas plantó la bandera de Pelaxia en el hermoso dominio de Delepasia. Nosotros, los delepasianos, deberíamos desarrollar una identidad separada de Pelaxia, una identidad en la que abracemos la única fe verdadera sin importar si nuestros antepasados fueron pelaxianos, cartadanianos, latinos o los Vallosi, mitificados durante mucho tiempo.''" ("Three hundred years ago, the dauntless hero Mauricio Delepas planted Pelaxia's flag on Delepasia's fair domain. We Delepasians ought to develop an identity separate from Pelaxia, an identity where we embrace the one true faith without regard towards whether our forefathers were Pelaxian, Cartadanian, Latins, or the long-mythologised Vallosi."). Guerrero's words were widely-distributed amongst the Pelaxian colonies, leading to growing sense of national consciousness amongst all colonists regardless of whether they were on the coast or further inland. | |||
