The Namuno-Ethian peoples are a cultural-linguistic group defined by their shared common ancestors, the Proto-Namuno-Ethian people, and their languages, the Namuno-Ethian languages.

Names

Namuno-Ethian refers to the geographic extent of the culture, spreading from Namun, across the Múne, and into Anidon (Eth in Old Phyrean). Other names include Namuno-Phyrean, Namuno-Muno-Phyrean, Namuno-Etho-Transzorniscian and Macro-Orddonachian, among others.

Origins

It is largely agreed upon that Proto-Namuno-Ethians originate from the shores of the Namun river, where they became a distinct culture somewhere around 4600 BNB, although the Sanjai culture preceding them since 170 000 BNB may be related. Most of the information gathered about them comes from extensive linguistic reconstruction, as they existed before the advent of writing, along with a few artifacts associated with the Janda civilisation, an early Namuno-Ethian culture theorised to be a later stage of the original Proto-Namuno-Ethians.

Culture

Many aspects of the related Namuno-Ethian cultures are shared between each other, which has led researchers to believe that they originate from the ancestral culture of the Proto-Namuno-Ethians. These are theorised to have been pastoralist nomads with a gender system based on sexual activity, a caste system dividing people into priests, orators, herders and warriors, a tendency for war, and early seafaring. They had a complex pantheon of deities associated with various aspects of life, with the daytime sky, *H₄éwtos, as head god.
