Nariki people

Narikis are almost exclusively defined as ethnically Darnussian people who speak Narik as their mother tongue; this definition usually excludes Narik-speaking Darnussian Yeudis, who are generally considered to be their own separate ethnic group.

Identifying who belongs to which ethnicity in Darnussia is a task fraught with difficulty; native language and geographical origin is usually used, but because Darnussia is almost entirely bilingual, this is sometimes not helpful. There are hundreds of thousands of self-identifying Narikis who live in mainland Darnussia and who speak Darnus as their main language, and as such are usually identified by their Nariki surname or their family origin. Darnussia is also home to hundreds of thousands of ethnically-mixed families and individuals, further rendering identification difficult.
