The following is a list of ethnic slurs, ethnophaulisms, or ethnic epithets that are, or have been, used as insinuations or allegations about members of a given ethnic, national, or racial group or to refer to them in a derogatory, pejorative, or otherwise insulting manner.
| Term | Location of origin | Targets | Meaning, origin and notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cacaverso | La Rossa | Deysachni, Modhesians | Literally "verse-shitter" or "prayer-shitter". |
| Churg, Churog | Caseic Archipelago | Niueyjara people | Context-dependent. The word Churog denotatively refers to a churg, but can be used derogatorily to refer to Niueyjara people. |
| Cwja | Deysachin | Caseans | Likely originating as Caseic-sounding gibberish. Not often intended as an insult |
| Deysachino | Faltir | Deysachni | Pronounced /dɛisaʃiːno/. |
| Direleko | Utlia | Merriyem | Meaning "Bog Person", a great insult to the Merriyem faith, which considers bogs to be evil |
| Fish-fucker | Kawakian | Sorewa | Used to imply backwardness and general immorality. Fish are a major symbol used by the Sorewa. |
| Fumercante, Fumo | La Rossa | Okriti | From Ros. fumo and mercante, literally "smoke-merchant", calling upon an image of untrustworthy scam dealers. Particularly utilized for Okriti street vendors and business owners. |
| Haka | Hapšâw'l | Foreigners, usually Deysachni | From Deysachni hak. |
| Ia'qa' | T'vaqi | Deysachni | From Hapšâw'l haka. |
| Maldeko | Tieteran | Groups with X fingers or less | Historically these groups were heavily persecuted and therefore the targets of various derogatory terms |
| Montagnero | Rossan | Montagneri | Literally "mountain person", historically used in derogatory manner, sometimes against members of the urban population to imply primitiveness and stupidity. In the absence of other common terms the word eventually became adopted by the Montagneri themselves. |
| Mountain pig | Rossan | Montagneri | In reference to the wooly mountain hogs herded by Montagnero hoggards, making a comparison of largeness and rotundness. |
| Nremkar | Utlia | Karinians | From the Utyis Nremsey (Idiot) |
| Psopsompa | T'vaqi | Yotumics, Nongbans in general | Offensive parody of sounds common to Nongban languages. |
| Qunyaru, Nyaru, Qunya | Kalami | T'vaqi people | Shortened from Maichun "Qunya rua" meaning "Smoke person" in reference to T'vaqi people's skin tone. The term originated during the Tricade war, being popularized by sensational news outlets. |
| Roso | La Rossa | Utlians | Translated as "pinko", derogatorily referring to Utlian skin color. The similarity to the word "Rossano" also serves to point to Utlian immigrants as being Rossan, but not quite. |
| Samfelak | Niueyjara | Foreigners | Everyone knows what a Samfelak is. |
| Shinehead | Deysachni | Bald people, usually Okriti | In Deysachin, baldness is considered a highly undesirable and hideous trait. |
| Spiaggati | La Rossa | Foreigners, usually those from the HoL | Roughly meaning "those who washed up on shore". |
| Tolio | T'vaqi | Rossans | From the Rossan city Tolia and the T'vaqi soup of the same name, originally in reference to Dux Vincenzo Barozzo di Tolia. Often used to imply greed, stupidity and boastfulness. |
| Udentok | Akaria | Foreigners deemed "lesser" | Sarkist epithet meaning "lesser blood," and a more extreme form of udenite. |
| Vidžabêgâl | Hapšâw'l | Dzeyyal | Pronounced /vidʒɑbɘ'gʌl/, meaning branch chewer, branch chewing is not a common practice among the Dzeyyal. |
| Wykebyo | Utlia | Merriyem | A mocking of the Mersene phrase "Wei Geb Yon" meaning "In Good health", used by Utlian soldiers in the First Merriyem Uprising, due to its similarity to the Utyis "Wyket Byo" literally meaning "Bloody Slaughter" |
| Yahggi | Deysachin | T'vaqii | From T'vaqii Ia'qa', possible pun on Yoggn, a word which literally means "trawler" but is often used in a metaphorical sense as "monsterous". |
| Yak | T'vaqi | Akarians | Term borrowed from the Karinian language, often written as iaq in the T'vaqi script. |
| Zircocchio, Zirco | La Rossa | Kalami | From Ros. zircone and occhio, literally "zircon eyes". Pointing to the orange eyes present in those of Kalami ancestry, the reference to zircon has also picked up due to its status as a cheaper replacement for diamonds. |
