Minority cultures

Almost all the countries in the world host multiple minority cultures or ethnic groups thanks to centuries of migration and annexation. On one hand, a single country may host multiple cultures without a sovereign country to call their own. On the other hand, the indigenous cultures were once dominant in a given country or region before the arrival of the present dominant culture.

An ethnicity is usually defined by language, religion and traditions, rather than geography or politics.
