Andswarian

Andswarian is a term used in fiction and world-building to describe the people, language, and culture of the region of Andswar. It is not a recognized ethnicity or nationality in real-world demography.

Etymology: The word is a standard demonym formed by adding the suffix -ian to the toponym Andswar. The region name likely derives from older linguistic elements; however, in most works the exact origin is left ambiguous.

Geography and society: In various works, Andswar is depicted as a continental region with diverse landscapes, from coastlines to highlands. Andswarian society is shown with varied social structures, occupations, and governance. Because Andswar appears in multiple fictional universes, depictions of its people range widely.

Language and culture: Andswarian language is often presented as a distinct tongue with its own grammar and vocabulary. Descriptions vary; some sources portray it as agglutinative, others as analytic, with several dialects. Cultural practices, art, music, and cuisine are likewise diverse across stories.

In popular culture: The term appears in novels, role-playing games, and encyclopedic world-builders as a generic example of a regional culture. The lack of a single canonical portrayal is typical of its use as a fictional construct rather than a real-world group.
