Extended definition
Ethnographic group is a community of people whose members identify with each other and share common culture, traditions, and customs. It is a detached part of a nation that has distinctive features in its culture and way of life (specific dialect, material and mental culture, religious beliefs). Such groups are usually formed in a process of assimilation of foreign groups or due to the confluence of different tribes into one nationality, if such tribes preserve some specific traits. They also can emerge when a part of a nation is separated from its main body for a long period of time. Characteristic feature of an ethnographic group is the recognition of it by others as a distinct group. In such a way, an ethnographic group is a specific group within the nation that differs from the rest of it in some cultural aspects.
