  1. Most of the EU ones are not really forgotten. I mean, you even have bilingual roadsigns in most of these places. Hard to miss even if you just drive through the area.

  2. How are any of these forgotten? What does ”… should know about” imply?

    This post is a mystery.

  3. Ah yes, Kurds and Basques, groups few people ever heard of…..

  4. there is a mistake, kurdistan covers the whole turkey. lmao

  5. I live in Romania near the Szekler area. We are crossing the mountains to buy potatoes from them. From my point of view, they have the best potatoes in the country. Last times we bought the potatoes directly from their house. They invited us inside their property. I am also using to buy meat products from a Szekler brand called ”Székely Falat.” I love them as they have salami without any preservatives and 100% naturally made as well as sausages and liver spread. They even have boar and deer salami. They taste great. These products even made way in the Moldavian region of Romania. And speaking of this, Szeklers are also crossing the mountains in Eastern Romania going in the Romanian fairs to sell their products or even exchange products with the Romanians.

  6. Fun fact: Downvoters are the chauvinists of the oppressive countries that don’t want you to know about these vulnerable ethnicities.
    (many of them are not oppressed anymore, but in the past all of these ethnicities suffered brutal oppression and some even genocide)

  7. Combining religion n ethnicity is super problematic.
    Try also: Burgenlandcroats.

  8. Kurds are definitely not forgotten here in Austria. They make sure you don’t forget

  9. Trust me, the Bretons are making sure they’re not forgotten

  10. Cornwall? Are you mad?

    Cornwall is a county, probably the only one where all the drivers have their flag on their car, they’re anything but forgotten.

  11. Why should these ethnicities be particularly important for ‘politically conscious Europeans’?

  12. I know about all of them also the Saamis arent shamanists anymore they are lutherans like the rest of sweden

  13. Kurds are not sunnis though fhey have an vast variety of of religions and languages who at times are only loosely related to each other

  14. Pretty sure nobody forgot about the Magyars in Romania…

  15. It’s overall weird. Most of those groups are not ethnicities, nor forgotten. Half of them don’t speak their language anymore, and are more atheists than religious.

    Some of them don’t even have any set independent movements. Some maps are wrong too.

    What are you trying to show ?

  16. Lol Serbs be like “Germany is Serbia” lol “Sorbia is Serbia” hahaha

  17. An Independent Kurdistan would act as a check to both Iran , Turkey and Saudi Arabia and may act as an ally to Israel and Armenia !

  18. There is no such thing as a “Sami capital”, and the Sami became Christian centuries ago.

  19. Rusyns are not forgotten – at least not in Slovakia. According to my experience, they’re widely known and well-represented here.

  20. ‘The Sámi people are the indigenous people of the northern part of the Scandinavian Peninsula and large parts of the Kola Peninsula and live in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Russia. They number between 50,000 and 100,000.’
    They’re not more indigenous than the rest of us, but they are a minority.

    I don’t think they have an interest of having any form of independence. The area is the same size as the 8th largest country in Europe, and they are very few people, and they have their own parliament for sami politics.

    And, I have no idea why Europeans should be more conscious about the kurds than the berbers of Tunisia. Both are not Europe.

  21. Brittany should be including Nantes and the area around it since it was historically its capital
