Twili
Culture
Major language groups and dialects
Twili is the first language they learn, and most that move to Hyrule learn common fairly quickly
Culture and cultural heritage
Only the basics of society remain from when the Twili were banished from Hyrule. The structure is pretty much the same, but being in perpetual Twilight has changed not only the people, but the designs of buildings and communities.
Shared customary codes and values
Most Twili are loyal to their Queen, even above any Hylian ruler. However, they are well aware that they are descendants of the Interlopers, who betrayed the Light and were thus banished into the Twilight, and therefore stay humble in the face of the light dwellers and are very accommodating.
Common Etiquette rules
When talking to Twili, its polite to not stand in direct sunlight or require them to look into direct sunlight for too long. While in Hyrule, they tend to be nocturnal creatures, so calling on them in the middle of the day, except for an emergency, is generally frowned upon.
Common Dress code
The dress code of Twili is very lax, as they have a very different sense of decency from Hylians or Sheikah. However, they mostly dress in blacks, greys, and occasionally white garments.
Common Customs, traditions and rituals
While Hylian monarchy might be passed down by blood, a Twili ruler passes down the throne by giving it to one of their prized servants.
A lot of their customs and traditions revolve around this idea of being the opposite from their Hylian counterparts, and doing things a little "untraditionally" in the eyes of a Hylian.
Common Myths and Legends
Most know the story of Queen Midna and her journey through the Light with the Hero of Time in the form of the Wolf.
Some say that The Usurper King Zant isn't actually dead, but lost somewhere in the Twilight, his soul bound to the Tetraforce and the throne.
