* Titular ethnicities of “ethnic dioceses”, a few dioceses where there often is a local indigenous pre-Chlouvānem language with legal recognition there. These titular ethnicities are rather small because, like all other Chlouvānemized peoples, they have interbred with Chlouvānems and taken cultural influences, as well as converted to the Yunyalīlta, and the “purest” form of their culture mostly survived in remote valleys or plateaus; in fact, in most ethnic dioceses the local titular ethnicity does not count for more than 10% of the population, with the majority of people having origins in both that ethnicity and in not-better-defined Chlouvānem; | * Titular ethnicities of “ethnic dioceses”, a few dioceses where there often is a local indigenous pre-Chlouvānem language with legal recognition there.

====Distribution==== | |||
The population of the Inquisition is very unequally distributed throughout the national territory. The eastern part of the Lāmiejāya-Lāmberah plain, together with the neighboring Jade Coast and its surroundings, is the most densely populated area on the whole of Calémere, and similar densities may be found in coastal Haikamotė, Hirakaṣṭė, and Kainomatā dioceses in the East. On the other hand, there are many mostly rural areas as well as sparsely populated areas such as the taiga in the far Northeast, the Southern rainforest, and most high mountain chains; the extreme example is the desert belt formed by the Salt Desert and Great Desert, which is a huge area (almost 10% of the country) with no population at all except for a few oasis due to the almost complete lack of water sources.<br/> | |||
Many of the most important cities of the Inquisition are on or near the shores of the ''Flæmvasta Sea'' (''flæmvasta ga jariā'') - the huge marginal sea bordered by the Jade Coast, the eastern part of the Plain, the Near East, and parts of the Far East: among the most important ones there are Līṭhalyinām, Līlta, Talliė, Huñeibāma, Līlikanāna, and Ehalihombu from east to west, plus the capital Līlasuṃghāṇa that lies inland but in the tidal Lulūnīkam lake (''lulūnīkam ga gėrisa''), and Lāltaṣveya which lies on the Lāmiejāya delta. | |||
