Do you have obscure minorities in your country that are almost forgotten? We have these:
>Rusyns They live in the far Norteast. Language is related to Ukrainian, but they consider themselves a separate ethnicity. Many of them are assimilated and you can recognise them only by their religion, which is Greek Catholicism, whereas Slovaks are traditionally Roman Catholics or Lutherans.
>Gorals You can find them in the mountainous border areas near Poland and Czech Republic. They live in the mountain valleys, language is related to Polish.
>Carpathian Germans Came here in the Middle Ages to repopulate the land after plagues and Mongol invasion. Were concantrated in mining towns of Central Slovakia and big cities. They use dialects that are hard to understand for standard German speakers. Mostly Protestant. Only a few thousands left after the post-WWII expulsion.
>Croats In the Southwest. Descendants of refugees from the Ottoman wars in the Balkans. Mostly assimilated.
>Valachs Romance speakers, shepherds in the mountains, only speak Slovak for several centuries.
>Jews Only a few thousands left. Even less of those who stayed observant. Mostly in big cities.
We also have Hungarians, Gypsies and some Czechs, but they're not obscure.

Cooper Myers
Only official minorities are Italians and Hungarians and they're pretty small so I guess they count.
Are the Croats the same as the communities in Burgenland?

The sorbs and the frisians. The sorbs are known a bit because of the krabat book that build upon their myths.

>Cherkessians A people from the caucuse mountains that went trough something close to a genocide under the Russian empire and fled to Ottoman empire. They live in few villages and although muslim sided with Jews during war of independence >Assyrians They claim to be the the remnants of ancient Assyrians and are Christians. They have an identity crisis with some selfidentifing as Arabs and others getting insulted if they are called that. They recently won a recognition as a separate ethnic group by the goverment >Samaritans They claim to be ancient Israelites from the northern kingdom. There were millions of them but they were genocided by the Byzantine empire after a series of rebellions and now there are only few hundreds left

what about Ethiopian Jews?

>Finlandssvenskar They speak some sort of bastardized version of Swedish and the old ones think they're "nobles" somehow. >gypsies Swedes made a gypsy hanging law in 1637 and they all fled here instead. The ones that don't steal are hated by the thief ones, and they actually stab and shoot each other over that. Main bulk of the prison population. >Samis Reindeer herders that gradually drift south to be unemployed in Helsinki >Tatars 900 or so Russian muslims in Helsinki that were resettled here in the 1800s.
John Hernandez
There are to many of them to call them obscure and they are generally considered as a subgroup of Jews. Yes I know, but it serves no point to question that since they are already here.
Adrian Barnes
Do you have a minority that keeps to a viking style of life?

Ethiopian jews are pretty well known. The Zimbabwean Lemba jews are pretty obscure, though. I don't know whether they have a diaspora in Israel, though.

Apparently we also have a small amount of Czechs and Slovaks too.
Alexander Bennett
Why are Germans such gypsies?
Jaxson Ward
>tfw no old minorities feels good man
Logan Jones
They live in Israel Syria and Lebanon. They have strong warrior culture and a secret monoteistic religion that believes in reincarnation. They have a strong warrior tradition. Their spiritual leader resides in Israel. The Israeli ones side with the Jews in the conflict, many are career officers and reach high positions in the army. The Syrian ones are allied with Assad and the Lebanese ones switch sides all the time. Even though they are divided by loyalties to enemy countries and may face each other in battle they are also loyal to each other and try to walk this line carefully.
Lucas Foster
Do they still have cool sounding names like Ragnar the Whale Rapist?
a lot of -sson ending family names, but they're not edgy.

Why does every Eastern European country have minority communities of a dozen ethnicities from random other countries? How did Czechs end up in Bulgaria for example? Why are there Ukrainians, Armenians, Greeks,... everywhere?

As for the rest, I don't know if they could be considered memes because there's too many.

Matthew Gutierrez
I wasn't saying they were created by those things, I was explaining why they're in other countries. It depends on the case, some are well-established for centuries in the countries they're in, some were displaced by some relatively recent conflict.
Brody Edwards
There's a lot factors. Turmoil, wars. Also Eastern Europe is the border between Western Europe and Asia. Czechs came here to settle desolate lands after our Liberation. Armenians mostly came here after or during WWI, but have been here historically for centuries.

Western European borders have remained relatively unchanged for centuries and the Germans, French, English, Spanish, etc have always had independent homelands of some kind, so no need to go anywhere else. There is a small German speaking population in your country as well as France anyway, is there not?
David Gonzalez
Aren't there supposed to be like ~3000 Cornish speakers and they all learned Cornish as a second language? This map seems dubious.
Daniel Bell
>There is a small German speaking population in your country as well as France anyway, is there not? Yes, but they are not ethnic exclaves, they are right on the border with Germany.
Aiden Kelly
Cornwall is sparsely populated Not sure about speakers, but I thought it was at about 10,000 and like you said, most learned it as a second language
Levi Clark
This sounds badass af. I kbew they were some platonist reincarnation mystery religion but the warrior stuff I didnt heard of yet. Based.

>Caldoches White people living in New Caledonia for a long time (most if them usually came here between 1850 and 1900) some of them are descendant from prisoners who were send in New Caledonia. They usually vote for loyalist party and represent 27% of the population. They speak with a weird accent. They love to do cowboy things youtube.com/watch?v=FqmWnT68NvE
>Béké Descendant of rich white people in the Antilles, they control something like 70% if the economy in those island. Their accent is a mix between quebecois and nigger creole.
>Georgetowniens Immigrants from Guyana in French guiana, usually consider by the local population as the most dangerous and violent immigrants in the department.
>Petits blancs des hauts, in reunion island Descendant of poor white people who settled in Reunion island in the last centuries. Most of them are pretty mixed because their ancestors used to married malgaches women. They lives in the inlands.
There's a lot of others ethnies in our overseas department and territories that people don't really know about

I don't understand why Haider hated Slovenes in Austria. They think of themselves as Slavic Austrians - Carinthians and I don't think their dialects are intelligible with standard Slovene.
Camden Richardson
Heil Haider!
Zachary Young
>Slavic Therein lies the problem for these people.
Noah Young
>and I don't think their dialects are intelligible with standard Slovene.
There are a few videos by a troll reporter who interviewed austrian slovenes. A bunch of old fucks talking in slovene, claiming that they don't speak slovene, but windisch, because they're deffo not slovenes and the reporter trolling them about it. The austrian germanisation propaganda was quite severe in the old days apparently.
Landon Nelson
All dialects are intelligible to an extent except some have more loanwords and unique elements than others

Hundreds of them, from sub-hohols to the south, to chukchas on the north-east. A lot of finno-urgics and mongoloids such as tatars, bashkirs, tuvins, etc
Lucas Sullivan
Havent really been politically informed at the time but slavs/any eastern bloc migrants used to be the big bogeyman for the right wing. Now its all about muslims with huge amounts of slavic immigrants actually voting FPÖ (they openly solicit for the serb vote in vienna)

Juan Morales
Bretons Normands Basques Corsicans Alsatians
All meme minorities
Landon Sanchez
The only real meme ethnicity we have is Irish Travellers (commonly known as Pikeys or just Gypsies, know. As Knackers in Ireland and Tinkers in Scotland and Ireland)
Remember the film Snatch? Brad Pitt played the "pikey boxer" from the caravan park? Well that's a good depiction of them. They roam like gypsies, they are insular as fuck, they generally don't see themselves as British (sometimes Irish) and they are believed to have split genetically from Irish people in the 12th century. they have their own language called Shelta which is supposedly a fast paced mix of Irish Gaelic an English mixed in with a lot of weird words they made up, it's purposely made hard to understand so outsiders can't understand.
Generally unlike gypsies they do actually work, the general stereotype is that they go place to place tarmacking driveways etc. They are heavily Catholic and strongly believe in gender roles, and they generally believe in domestic violence. They also love to fight each other and box, every young man has to "protect his family's name" by boxing with lads from other families, so they are trained to fight from a young age, which is why they make such GOAT boxers (like Tyson Fury)

>Gypsies Most disgusting scum to walk this earth, steal stab and fight. Only thing they've done for this nation is to clash with immigrants who are starting to steal stab and do all these gypsy activities.
>Fenno-"swedes" Finns who talk bastardized swedish who swedes don't understand and uphold this picture of being "upper class" or Bättre folk more locally
>Tatars Never met em, heard they're well integrated and uphold their traditions good.
>Samis Reindeerniggers who complain about everything
>Russians at the eastern border Buy land, move here, don't speak the language and be fucking rude.
Parker Edwards
>Tatere No idea who they were. They were attempted genocided in the 1950s, I have no idea how many survived or if their culture still exists. I think they fall under the English word gypsies, but we have three words for that in Norway, refering to different peoples.
>Sigoynere I think that's what they are called. Also a type of gypsies, but have a different language and haven't been in Norway for as long as the Tatere.
>Kvener People speaking a northern Finnish dialect that live somewhere in the north.
There are also Saami, but they are hardly forgotten. Out of the Saami, there are multiple subgroups, and only the inland Northern Saami really gets attention, the other groups are much more forgotten. There are three Saami languages in Norway, and another two (?) are extinct in Norway, but may remain in other countries. It's the Northern Saami that get the by far most attention, by no means obscure, but the sub group of Coast Saami are much more forgotten. The saami that lived on the coast. Out of the other languages that still remain, Lule Saami are the most obscure ones. They got some attention recently for a rape epidemic I think? But overall, they are ignored. Southern Saami are also pretty ignored compared to the North Saami, but get more attention than the other group, but still very little. While the Lule Saami are mostly located in one location, Southern Saami people are spread across 100s of kilometers while being rare, so I think the living communities are smaller. The extinct languages may still have some people of their origin, but I don't know if they exist anymore, never heard about them.

He was a neonazi scum who wanted to continue what the scum did before him but what you're saying is nonsense.
I don't know much. Mostly in Finnmark, some in Troms.
The language is apparently spoken by around 2000 people, but almost all of them are old, so it'll be extinct soon. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kven_language

I think he's upset that Heider didn't differentiate between Slovenes in Carinthia who were there for centuries, even before German Austrians, and who were integrated into Austrian culture and immigrants from the Eastern Bloc who came to Austria in the 90s.
