In addition to the Paisonic Coscivians and Ærans, other Coscivian ethnic groups strongly associated with the mass immigration of the Great Crossing Era have substantial populations in Niyaska. Vilamem and Kaśuvem have a vibrant presence in County Metuśen, which is also home to one of the largest Lusem populations on the eastern seaboard. Helskem immigrants, who are present throughout the state in small numbers, are credited with establishing the first "Niyaska eateries" (see below), and Helskem familiescontinue to own and operate most of them to this day. | In addition to the Paisonic Coscivians and Ærans, other Coscivian ethnic groups strongly associated with the mass immigration of the Great Crossing Era have substantial populations in Niyaska.

Identifiable communities of Old Niyaskans are found in a few rural pockets of South Niyaska and a rapidly shrinking rural corridor in County Manôt. The ''Marithāruv'' ("Meadow people"), an ethnic group of mixed descent from Tapkek aboriginals and various groups of early Coscivian settlers, inhabit many wetland areas of the state, where their community cohesion and traditional way of life are increasingly threatened by encroaching urban development and environmental degradation. | ||
The Isvɚ̯x Road Albinos, a small community of 80-250 people with {{wp|albinism}}, thought to be of either Coscivian or mixed Coscivian-Aboriginal extraction, live in an area of pine-cedar forest and scrubland in County Manôt. Although accorded Scheduled Tribe status by the federal government and have been under a protective order from the state government since 21182, the Albinos occasionally come into conflict with residents of the expanding exurban communities in their vicinity. | The Isvɚ̯x Road Albinos, a small community of 80-250 people with {{wp|albinism}}, thought to be of either Coscivian or mixed Coscivian-Aboriginal extraction, live in an area of pine-cedar forest and scrubland in County Manôt.

Due to its inclusion in the cosmopolitan Valēka metropolitan area, all religious traditions with a visible following in Kiravia are present in Niyaska. However, Coscivian-Rite Christianity is by far the largest faith tradition, adhered to by 60-65% of Niyaskans, with the Coscivian Catholic Church being the largest single religious body and the Coscivian Orthodox Church the third-largest. Niyaska also has a significant number of Latin-Rite Catholic parishes, serving both immigrant and Coscivian congregations. The [[Insular Apostolic Church]] is the second-largest religious body. | |||
Niyaska has the second-largest Jewish population in the Federacy after the neighbouring Kiygrava. Most Niyaskan Jews belong to the Ivraīan Coscivian subgroup and live in suburban North Niyaska. After Kirosocialism, some Haredi communities belonging to the Avraman Coscivian subgroup left Valēka and resettled in and around Vilnúdaritren in South Niyaska. | |||
