Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition: Difference between revisions

A number of dioceses in the Inquisition are '''ethnic dioceses''' (''lailyāvikausire juṃšañāña'', pl. ''lailyāvikausirāhe juṃšañāñai''), home to native, non-Chlouvānem ethnicities. In these dioceses, the languages of the titular ethnicities are co-official in every aspect of public life and members of these ethnicities usually have "land rights" that other ethnicities do not have (for example there are usually substantially faster waiting times for housing allocation for titular ethnicities when compared to ethnic Chlouvānem).<br/>
It should however be noted that in all but one of these dioceses (Tūnambasā), the titular ethnicities are less than half of the population, being as low as 9% for Hūnakañai in Hūnakañjaiṭa (most ethnic Hūnakañai do live there — but the diocese includes the 10th largest city of the Inquisition, Līlekhaitē, which is predominantly Chlouvānem). With the exceptions of the Bazá (Chl. ''Basā'') in Tūnambasā and the Čathísǫ̃́g (''Chandisēkai'') in Jįveimintītas, all other titular ethnicities are only native to the territories of the Inquisition. The Bazá, which are the largest group in their ethnic diocese (78%), are also numerically the largest of any non-Chlouvānem titular ethnicity in the Inquisition.<br/>Note that, despite the small number of ethnic dioceses, most of the country is actually a patchwork of different ethnicities with multiple spoken languages. However, ethnic dioceses are those where the non-Chlouvānem ethnicity is generally more homogeneous; in some cases, ethnic dioceses are actually less ethnically diverse than many other regular ones; compare many dioceses of the South, where the Chlouvānem element is generally small (smaller than in most ethnic dioceses), but the population is divided into many small ethnicities, up to nearly 30 (often numbering in the few thousands of people, due to the sparse settlement of those rainforest areas) in some cases.
