The Mufedha are a Panethnic and Polyethnic group, located primarily in Bahia and Badawiya, but with small minorities in Coius, the Asterias, and Euclea.
Often described as highly successful merchant caste, the multiplex origins of the Mufedha, and the semi-integration of other groups over the centuries, has resulted in a highly disparate, geographically distant, and culturally diverse group. While the original Mufedha were Irfanic Badawiyic or Paradarani speakers, the dwindling group now encompasses multiple religions and dozens of languages, with many Mufedha communities at risk of partial or full integration into the more dominant cultures of the countries they inhabit.
