The Monsilvan people or simply Monsilvans, are people or ethnic groups identified with Monsilva, usually through ethnicity, nationality, citizenship, or other affiliation.
Monsilvan people are commonly known as Shānguórén (山國人) in Monsilvan. Monsilvan people are primarily descendants of the Shan people from the same area as the current nation of Monsilva. The majority of Monsilvan people speak Monsilvan, whether it is the standard variant or a dialect of it. 71% of people who were born with Monsilvan parents or grandparents, live in Monsilva, the other 29% can be found all across Terraconserva.
The Monsilvan people are the largest ethnic group in Monsilva and the second largest ethnic group in Fujikuni. There are approximately 70 million people living in Terraconserva with Monsilvan ethnic heritage, however over 55 million of those people have Monsilvan parents or grandparents, the others' closest heritage is great-grandparents or older. This is thanks to mass emigration from Monsilva in the 1950s.
Monsilvans have many customs that range depending on dialect and region of Monsilva, as well as different customs for Monsilvans living outside Monsilva, such as in Fujikuni. Monsilvans are predominantly non-theistic, which is likely due to the prohibition of religion in Monsilva from 1943 to 1978. However, many Monsilvans can be found following traditional Monsilvan folk religion, which is an umbrella term for the many slightly differing belief systems that can be found in Monsilva.
