Ethno-Nationalist: both culturally and ethnically homogenous: defines the nation in terms of ethnicity, asserting that a nation is defined by a shared heritage, which usually includes a common language, culture, and ancestry. Ethnonationalism seeks to promote the interests of a particular ethnic group and often aims for self-determination for that group, which can include autonomy or the creation of a nation-state for that ethnic group alone.
