Traditionally a Kir-majority state, large-scale migration from elsewhere in Kiravia and abroad since industrialisation has given modern Kaviska a highly multiethnic character. Many Kaviskans today are described (or describe themselves) as ''Úramdikir'' (roughly "hyphenated Kir") who speak Kiravic as their mother tongue and live in a primarily Kirish cultural context but also owe ancestry and affinity to other (mostly Coscivian) ethnic groups. Numerous (mostly perjorative) terms exist for the converse phenomenon of upwardly-mobile people who identify affirmatively as non-Kir but use Kiravic as their main language and do not live in a compact ethnic community. | Traditionally a Kir-majority state, large-scale migration from elsewhere in Kiravia and abroad since industrialisation has given modern Kaviska a highly multiethnic character.
