ethnolinguistic groups

Ethnolinguistic groups are communities defined by a shared language and cultural traits, such as traditions, customs, and history. These groups often have a common sense of identity rooted in their language and cultural practices, which helps distinguish them from others. For example, the Basques or Kurds are ethnolinguistic groups because they speak unique languages and have distinct cultural identities. Recognizing these groups helps us understand the diversity within regions and how language and culture shape communities and their histories.
