The Koman people are an ethnic group who mainly inhabit the modern-day country of Komania and originated around the northeastern region of Vaniua, they came to inhabit much of central Vaniua in the 9th century with a major migration weave up to the 12th century. Today Komans are majorly found in the modern-day countries of Balakia, Gushlia, Zinsha-Vogia, Kaatkukia, Ohania and Komania, furthermore, there is an estimated population of around 2,000,000 Komans living abroad with either undeclared ethnic background or living as immigrants.
Some sources list a totality of ten overarching Koman tribes, of which six the Oshar, Ahar, Baywar, Nazari, Sharaz and Shaz, are referred as Khəzeh Mamğan ("original tribes").
History
Tribal systems have always been present in Koman society, with many regarding it as being a core structure of the Qoman Qarem ("Koman Law"). Throughout history, there have been innumerable accounts of Koman tribes, while most sources have been obtained through ancient reports from Ohanians and Ancient Bodnians, written sources obtained from old inscriptions throughout the Tamyiran region records several sets of tribal confederacies that once roamed northern and northeastern Vaniua, most historians have interpreted these written sources as reports of tribal confederations of mixed origin. Koman historians have been able to classify these tribes with the help of linguistic reconstruction and decipherments using the base of the Shisadam script from which it derives.
While the precise number of tribal confederations of Koman affiliations is unknown, there are several accounts and inner sources which can clarify the most prominent ones. The Qom, Shan, Sheh, Tawar and Sahan confederations are all regarded as the source of Koman ethnogenesis and tribal origin.
Tribal banners
Founded in 1830 by a decree from the Koman emperor Shahshaz Qamashan, the Tribal banner system is meant to organise all 40 tribes into a collection of "confederates", each organised according to their historical tribal unions and cultural affiliations. The banner system is arranged into four main confederations, the Mishar, Tamyiran, Bari and Torosh banners with the Tamyiran and Torosh banners being the most numerous.
All confederations are granted a level of autonomy including the privilege of supervising all provinces under their command, this level of autonomy also grants the freedom of regulating provincial income under the supervision of the Ministry of Economy while having their own representatives in the State Assembly.
Dialects
Historically, every Koman tribe spoke a variant of Koman belonging to the Nashaghan dialect continuum, this, however, changed as nomadic traditions decreased and were further pushed by demographic changes, forcing former nomadic peoples to settle for a more sedentary lifestyle. This change was formalised after Emperor Warqaz-e Ğeraqan pushed reforms for sedentarism with the aim of increasing industrial production and economic productivity in the region. This transition deeply affected the language demography of the country. The tribes which moved westwards generally favoured a variant of Western Koman while those moving southwards tended to favour variants of Mishar Koman and vice-versa. With such changes a considerable portion of dialects became extinct.
Thanks to the lack of a standard dialect in Komania, most remaining variants were capable to subsist to a great extent. Today Koman is usually divided into three dialectal groupings: Western Koman, Torosh Koman and Bari Koman (also known as Wari Koman) from which Western Koman variants descend from Classical Koman while the Torosh and Bari variants belong to the Nashaghan dialect continuum.
