Kasiiralq (Kasiirala: Kasiiralẋ hmuuẋs [kɐsiːrɐlχ m̥uːχs]) is a country located in Northern Miraria, largely over 60° with one small peninsula extending into the arctic circle. It shares land borders with Achiyitqana to the north, and Fazulavaz to the west and southwest, being otherwise surrounded by the northern reaches of the Asura.

Geography

Climate

The country is principally subarctic, with tundra in the northeasternmost peninsula. As such, it experiences extremely long, cold winters. The majority of the country is naturally covered by taiga forests, with some tundra to the north.

Demographics

Ethnic groups

There are six major human ethnic groups represented in the country. The largest group are the Tulipik, at nearly 28% of the country's populace.

Vodholk comprise the second most populous group at approximately 25% of the population, giving Kasiiralq the second highest per-capita number of vodholk on Sahar behind Oimia

Language

The major languages of Kasiiralq represent three language families: Maakpauean, Tulipi-Lakup and kamPatuk, as well as two dialect clusters variously considered language isolates or small language families, Yucho and Vemkha.

The country's most widely-spoken language by total speakers, Kasiirala, is a Maakpauean language. It is the principal language for official national and international affairs, and for a large percentage of the ethnic Maakpauean people who make up nearly 18% of the country's population. Another minority Maakpauean language, Siyatsiluq, which is more closely related to Achiyitqan, is spoken by a small number of Kasiiralqi citizens.

Tulipik and Lakup are the principal extant languages in the small Tulipi-Lakup family. Of these, Tulipik is by far the largest with over 34,000 speakers, making it the largest in the nation by first-language speakers. Lakup is spoken by approximately two-thirds of the ethnic population of 2998.

Various kamPatuk languages are spoken by members of the Vodholk species, and therefore mostly in the more northern areas of the country. The largest of these is Patuk, followed by Kunguk and mPuk.

Yucho is primarily spoken in the autonomous Yaru Islands province, with the exception of Enyet Yucho spoken by a few hundred speakers on the mainland.
