The Yumanni ethnic group are a subset of the Hal, having much in common with them in appearance and only minor differences in culture. Notably, the Yumanni are great proponents of free market philosophies and open trade. Many pay homage to Tethys, the Valyan goddess of the winds; due to a common superstition that she provides good luck in commerce.
Many scholars consider the Yumanni a classic example of cultural assimilation; as they appear to have been integrated into the Hal culture, rather than splintered from it. This is evidenced most strongly by the rarely spoken Yumanni language, Yutangan, which differs fundamentally from Hal Azbuka.
Modern Yumanni are often considered indistinguishable from Hal, but many Yumanni make a point of their heritage; some seeing it as differentiator from being "merely" Hal.
