The Federated Kingdom of Akarus

Culture of Akarus

Major Cultural Groups

• Andleric ("Dit is een voorbeeld zin in het Andleric") The largest group within Akarus. Akarus was founded and led by Andlerics for most of its history, and has mantained a dominant position within the country. The Andleric language is also the most common within Akarus, and is spoken to some extent by the majority of the population.
  
• Colbene ("Dit is 'n voorbeeld sin in Colbene") The status of Colbene is an ongoing dispute within Akarus. The Colbenes were originally a distinct ethnic group, but centuries of direct Andleric rule had almost entirely assimilated it. However the Colbene maintain a distinct dialect and national identity, however the Akarusian government views it language as merely a dialect of Andleric rather than its own language or culture. With the right to statehood largely tied to language and culture, the fight for recognition has become a running conflict as a nmber of Colbene demand their own state.
  
• Einder ("Dat ass e Beispill vun engem Saz op Einder")
  
• Kapelgian ("Dette er et eksempel setning i Kapelgian") Kapelgian is the most different of the Akarusian languages from Andleric, and while posessing broader similiarites is typically considered part of a different language group. The Kapelgians mantain a strong national identity and the largest separtist sentiment.
  
• Rykenian ("Dit is in stekproef sin yn it Rykenian")
