Many of the "ethnicities" included within the question of Derian identity are groupings of people based on their spoken language rather than any deeper set of genetic similarities, as most people in historic [[Dericania]] share genetic origin regardless of the identity group of which they are a part - nearly all Dericanians are descended in some degree from ancient Celtic peoples and the [[Latinic people]] who conquered them, forming [[Great Levantia]]. Accordingly, historical development of senses of identity and ethnicity are relatively fluid in this region. The two groups most commonly known as "Derian" today - the Lapodards and the Rhotians - are almost entirely linguistic nationalities with only recent history creating distinctions between these groups. | Many of the "ethnicities" included within the question of Derian identity are groupings of people based on their spoken language rather than any deeper set of genetic similarities, as most people in historic [[Dericania]] share genetic origin regardless of the identity group of which they are a part - nearly all Dericanians are descended in some degree from ancient Celtic peoples and the [[Latinic people]] who conquered them, forming [[Great Levantia]].

Rhotians are an ethnic group based on linguistic ties residing in western Dericania. Their language, Rhotian, is descended from the Latin language of late [[Great Levantia]] and exhibits significant Celtic influences along with some limited Gothic ones. Accordingly, they are viewed to be more closely related to [[Urcean people]] and their related sub-identities, with [[Lebhan]] and Rhotian having a degree of mutual intelligibility. | Rhotians are an ethnic group based on linguistic ties residing in western Dericania.

Lapodards are an ethnic group based on linguistic ties residing in eastern Dericania. Their language, Lapodard, exhibits stronger ties to other vulgar derivations of the ancient Latin language as well as some influences of Istroyan language, making it distantly related more to the [[Burgoignesc language]] than more Celtic-inspired languages like [[Lebhan]]. | |||
===Bergendii=== | ===Bergendii=== | ||
{{Main|Bergendii}} | |||
The [[Bergendii]], or the Bergendii peoples, are a Derian ethnocultural group tracing their ancestry back to modern-day [[Burgundie]], but more specifically the [[Occidental_world#Istroyo-Adonerii_Culture_Group|Istroyo-Adonerii]] peoples of the northern parts of [[Burgundie]] ([[Ile Burgundie]] and [[Nostrestran]]) and not the Gassavelians of [[Faramount]]. | The [[Bergendii]], or the Bergendii peoples, are a Derian ethnocultural group tracing their ancestry back to modern-day [[Burgundie]], but more specifically the [[Occidental_world#Istroyo-Adonerii_Culture_Group|Istroyo-Adonerii]] peoples of the northern parts of [[Burgundie]] ([[Ile Burgundie]] and [[Nostrestran]]) and not the Gassavelians of [[Faramount]]. | ||
Due to their centuries of maritime travel, the [[Bergendii]] live on every continent and with few exceptions are present in almost every country on earth, this is especially true of countries with coastlines. | Due to their centuries of maritime travel, the [[Bergendii]] live on every continent and with few exceptions are present in almost every country on earth, this is especially true of countries with coastlines. | ||
===Lutsines=== | ===Lutsines=== | ||
{{Main|Lutsana}} | |||
The Lutsine people are a Derian ethnocultural group who originated from the intersection of Latinic residents of [[Levantia]] and the [[Paleo-Levantine_peoples#Orenstians|Orenstine]] peoples of eastern [[Levantia]] and live primarily in [[Lutsana]]. The Lutsine language and culture is related to the Lapodards, but features many staples of western Orenstine cultures and vocabulary. Lutsines began a national awakening in the 1850s and initially viewed themselves as Derians. Speaking a different language and exhibiting different traiditions lead to many Lutsines facing discrimination outside of their homeland, and by the late 19th century many leading Derian nationalists began to exhibit domineering attitudes towards the Lutsine people, calling for the "cleansing" of their culture of the outside influence of the Orenstines. Among Lutsines, this period lead to a new sense of themselves as a distinct peoples, a concept which was firmly entrenched by the 1920s. Despite this, Lutsines would continue to be included among Derians and Lutsana was included within the [[Deric States]] for reasons of history and economic dependency. | The Lutsine people are a Derian ethnocultural group who originated from the intersection of Latinic residents of [[Levantia]] and the [[Paleo-Levantine_peoples#Orenstians|Orenstine]] peoples of eastern [[Levantia]] and live primarily in [[Lutsana]].
