Northumbrians (Northumbric: ᛄᛠᚱᛗᚣᛗᛒᚢᚱ, tr. Hjermymber) are a nation and ethnic group native to the Northumberland autonomy of Ambrose, as well as smaller populations in surrounding counties as well as in northern Endynru. They are primarily considered a Voragonevanic people; however, are also descended from Celts and, to an extent, Anglo-Saxon Brunswickers.

Northumbrian culture has become heavily intertwined with that of their Brunswicker neighbors to the south, however they maintain a unique cuisine, dance, music, and other cultural traditions. Due to early modern language shifts, modern-day Northumbrians for the most part speak Anglish, though there remain thousands of speakers of Northumbric, the most widespread surviving Voragonevanic language. Northumbrian culture, language, and regional politics has become contentious in recent years, with the Northumbrian nationalist movement calling for greater recognition of their unique heritage by the Ambrosian government.

Northumbrians vary in physical appearance, with many displaying Mongoloid or Caucasoid phenotypic traits, or an amalgamation of the two; this also does not take into account the extensive intermarriages with Brunswickers. The Ambrosian Census of 2015 found that 4,435,546 respondents identified as ethnically or culturally Northumbrian, making up the vest majority of the autonomy of Northumberland.
