Other New World Marolevians (Chistovodians, Asterian Soravian) |
The Vinalians Soravian Віналіяни: Vinaliyany) are a New World Marolevians ethnic group indigenous to Vinalia, who share a common Vinalian ancestry, culture, and history. Soravian, the most spoken Marolevic language, is the shared mother tongue of the Vinalians; Episemialism has been their majority religion since the formation of a Vinalian identity in the 18th-19th centuries.
The modern nation of Vinalia gained independence in 1883 from Chistovinalia, following an earlier end to Soravian colonial control in 1863. This began the process of forging a national identity that fused the cultural traits of Indigenous pre-Asteris origin with those of Soravian ancestry.
Most Vinalians live in Vinalia, however significant diasporas exist in Chistovodia, Soravia, Ardesia, and other Asterian and Euclean nations. Vinalia which had a rich immigration history prior to the Great War, became an emigration hotspot due to the Vinalian struggle. Which established significant populations in other countries, particularly countries closely aligned with either North or South Vinalia.
