An ethnoreligious group (or an ethno-religious group) is a grouping of people who are unified by a common religious and ethnic background.[1]
Furthermore, the term ethno-religious group, along with ethno-regional and ethno-linguistic groups, is a sub-category of ethnicity and is used as evidence of belief in a common culture and ancestry.[2]
In a narrower sense, they refer to groups whose religious and ethnic traditions are historically linked.[3]
