Fariva has traditionally been the cultural domain of the [[Taństem Coscivians|Northern Tańrisem ethnic group and the closely-related Taństem]]. However, the state's demographics have been changed dramatically by centuries of large-scale immigration, and the Tańrisem and Taństem together now comprise some 44% of the population. Nonetheless, Taństan Coscivian remains the first official language and the both groups are overrepresented in the state's political institutions. Aspects of Taństem/Tańrisem culture have been embedded into Farivan life and adopted by the various other groups who have migrated to Fariva over the centuries, forming the foundations of Farivan local and civic culture. Many families of non-Taństem origin who have been settled in the state for centuries, such as the [[Leonoix family]], have become socially integrated with the old Tańrisem establishment, as have some wealthy mercantile families of foreign origin, such as the [[de Marbot-Gisin family]], whose ancestors migrated to Béyasar from [[Burgundie]] in [[1568|20748]]. Taństan Coscivians are found throughout the state and are the majority or plurality ethnic group in most areas, though they are now squarely in the minority in Béyasar, its inner suburbs and many of its satellite cities.

Other ethnic groups have arrived in multiple waves of immigration, first by the [[Ĥeldican Coscivians|Æran and Frydhian Coscivians]] and other groups from the poorer areas of Western Éorsa, such as the Peninsular Coscivians, Kālatan Coscivians, Lusan Coscivians, Kostiatan Coscivians, Valosian Coscivians, Iyaspalan Coscivians, Ardónian Coscivians, Purgónian Coscivians, Venskan Coscivians, and North Elutes. These Western Éorsan peoples who arrived during the Great Crossing continue to live mainly in and around the state's cardinal cities, but have diffused further afield in the post-Kirosocialist era. Minority groups that have followed similar migration patterns include the Kópistonians, Idsikurians, and Ânaromanotes. Subsequent groups of immigrants have come from other New Coscivian countries (Triatha, Saliera-Arudia-Nutriava, and Kylixa). Others have come from Coscivian diaspora communities or Coscivian-influenced countries elsewhere in Ixnay, such as [[the Cape]], [[Koré'heranùa]], and [[Rumelistan]]. Coscivian peoples closely associated with seafaring, such as the Lúnstan Coscivians, [[Ethnic groups in Kiravia#Sea Coscivians|Sea Coscivians]], and Keregūlan Coscivians, have a large presence in Béyasar and Norvimur. As Farivan ports were (and are) the main shipping hubs serving Kiravian islands in the [[Kilikas Sea]], communities of [[Meridia|Meridian Finns and Meridian Coscivians]], Suderavian Coscivians, and [X Islanders] have lived in Fariva for quite some time. The state is also home to the largest population of 10th, 11th, and 12th-generation Kiravian refugees from the island of [[Wintergen]].

The largest single ethnic group in Fariva, after the Taństem, are Kiravian Gaels. Though a few Celtic villages remained in hilly areas of western Fariva after Coscivian colonisation, the state's substantial Gaelic minority is mainly as a result of mass in-migration from neighbouring Gaelic-majority states ([[Arkelly]], [[Dunlévia]]) during the industrial era. There is a long history of tension between the Gaelic minority and the historically dominant Taństan Coscivians, beginning with conflicts from the colonial period but primarily based in a legacy of discrimination and political suppression during the industrial age. Gaelic culture in Fariva has been bolstered by immigration of Levantine Gaels from Fiannria, Fhainnaeran, Carna, and Urcea (see below).
