Ascal (Ethnicity)

The Ascal in bulk are considered the largest ethnic group by populace in the galaxy. Ascal tend to be divided into two main groups, Low Ascal (or Kymrayg) and Simple Ascal (referred to as regular Ascal, Plain Ascal, or just Ascal). Their wide range gives them a long and arduous history, from the Ascal Empire to a myriad of modern states. The Ascal also lend their name to the Ascal Langauages.

Simple Ascal
The Simple Ascal are the largest of the Ascal Subgroups. They developed the old Ascal language, and modern Ascal derives from theirs. They generally are regarded as polite, good at engineering, and generally excellent at logistics. They also are the most religiously and politically diverse group of people in the galaxy. They tend to vary quite a bit within their language regarding pronunciations and accents, making Simple Ascal from various areas easy to identify.

Low Ascal
The low Ascal are spread primarily within Gath-Sako and its protectorate, Heilegeterra, and the Estran Empre. They have reactionary tendencies, but tend to be more clannish and militant than their simple cousins.

The Low Ascal also have singsong accents with incessant hard R's, making them distinct from the Simple Ascal easily.
