The ethnic makeup of the country is fairly broad among nations in northern Levantia, with the primary ethnic group being the ''Marfhainn'', or Sea Fhainn (almost universally shortened to Fhainn). This group originates around the [[Vandarch Sea]] and forms the cultural and linguistic core of the country, and a significant plurality of the country's population consist of ethnic groups related to the Fhainn. The Leufhainn in the eastern Vandarch basin and the Sheafhainn of western coastal Faneria descend directly from tribes related to the ancestors of the Marfhainn are only slightly distinct; others, such as the Saelish people, centered in [[Sorhaithe]], and the Parvefhainn and Cascufhainn, who live along the [[Kilikas Sea|Kilikas]] coast and the mountain belts of the interior respectively, have their own defined histories and cultures which to varying degrees have been diluted by Marfhainn hegemony. Among gaelic Fanerians, the Saelish and the Culriochan gaels are the least related to the Marfhainn aside from [[Caergwynn|Caeric]] and [[Fiannria|Faeskt]] populations near the northern and eastern borders. | |||
Significantly smaller in size but outsized in historic relevance are the non-gaelic peoples of Faneria. Werdachi, remnants of gothic invaders in the eastern Vandarch, and the Neitic goths of modern [[Namhe]] and western [[Culriocha]] exist in a social periphery with a number of historic insurrections and separatist movements which remained unaddressed until the beginning of the [[Transisthmus Peace Process]] in the 1990s. Other groups, primarily including the [[Ænglish people|Ænglish]], [[Coscivians]], [[Yonderre|Yonderrines]], and [[Derian identity|Derians]], have regional immigrant populations and contrubuted significantly to the development of language, technology, law, and history in the country. | Significantly smaller in size but outsized in historic relevance are the non-gaelic peoples of Faneria.

Due to the manner in which subjugated or culturally assimilated peoples were historically renamed as Fhainnin subgroups, classification of peoples within the Fhainnin people group and the country more broadly has varied by period and defining metrics. Under monarchial rule, any group conquered by or invited to immigrate to Faneria were labelled with the suffix of -fhainn to enforce a singular national identity. Since republicanization, it has been increasingly understood under language-centric government policy that people who speak [[Fhasen]] are 'Fhainnin', whereas non-speakers are refered to solely as their original group name. As a result, a Saelish person who only speaks Saelish is considered Saelish, whereas a Saelish person who speaks fluent Fhasen, even if they use Saelish in the home, is 'Saelifhainn'. This distinction also follows for foreigners (such as permanent Coscivian populations becoming 'Coscivifhainn') to be 'adopted' into the culture group. In official documentation, 'Fhainnin' is used to refer to Marfhainn, Saelifhainn, Leufhainn, Cascufhainn, Parvefhainn, and Sheafhainn; Culriochans, Caeric and Fiannrian as well as other foreign gaels are listed as 'Non-Fhainnin Gaelic' on census data, and other ethnic groups are listed as their ethnic origin; however, language status is the primary factor in legal and social status. | |||
