Overall, the Chlouvānem Inquisition is ethnically heterogeneous despite the dominant Chlouvānem ''lailnekā'' - the borders between different ethnicities are often not clear-cut and are more noticeable because of local customs rather than the actual ethnicities of the inhabitants. As a general pattern, the areas with higher population density are more predominantly Chlouvānem, while local ethnicities thrive the lesser the population density is; it is however to be noted that, at a regional level, even mountainous or hilly areas are always ethnically heterogeneous and usually no absolute majority of any ethnicity. Urban areas often share the ethnic composition of the surrounding regions, but generally with a higher share of Chlouvānem people, also due to internal migrations and to the deportations (''paṣadimbhanah'', pl. ''-nai'') that were particularly common in the first 60 years of the Inquisition and the early Kaiṣamā period. Internal migration greatly contributes to the heterogeneous population of the biggest cities, where ethnicities from all over the country (and foreign immigrants) are represented. | Overall, the Chlouvānem Inquisition is ethnically heterogeneous despite the dominant Chlouvānem ''lailnekā'' - the borders between different ethnicities are often not clear-cut and are more noticeable because of local customs rather than the actual ethnicities of the inhabitants.
