Dhimze people
Dhimzes ([ˈdɪmzeɪz]; Dhimze: jhmirjhvit; [ˈd͡ʒmird͡ʒvitʰ], pl. jhmirjhviá [d͡ʒmirˈd͡ʒvia]) are an ethnic group native to the Western Triangle Sea area in Northeastern Yazland. Dhimzes constitute the main population of Dhimrai and a significant minority in various colonies across the Commonwealth of Dhimrai. In ancient history, Dhimze colonies were established around the Triangle Sea and most notably on Etzavaz, however the ethnic Dhimze population there is now considered a distinct ethnic group.
Dhimze is a Yasgan language and one of two surviving members of the Dhimzic branch, along with Gharzi. It is one of the oldest continuously spoken languages in Jotunnheim. Like several other languages of the region it is written in the Dhimze script, which developed into its modern form around the early 4th millenium CY.
Most Dhimzes follow Pheiaic faith, a church of Yasgan religion based on early Classical Dhimze texts and traditions. Pheiaism is a polytheistic religion centered around Pheias, goddess of life, and Judzin, god of the Sun. It is one of the largest religions on Jotunnheim.
