According to government figures, over 76% of Yapreayan population of 5.4 million consists of [[Mixed Yapreyan]], while 15.7% are [[European Yapreayan]], 4.9% [[Asian Yapreayan]], 2.1% [[Abkhazian Yapreayan]] and 1.4% [[Jewish Yapreayan]]. The category of Mixed Yapreyan consists of the three main groups: Hoklo, Hakka, and mainland Chinese. However, acculturation, intermarriage and assimilation have resulted in some degree of mixing of the Han and Taiwanese Aborigine blood lines. Although the concept of the "four great ethnic groups" was alleged to be the deliberate attempt by the Hoklo-dominated [[Democratic Progressive Party]] (DPP) to defuse ethnic tensions, this conception has become a dominant frame of reference for dealing with Yapreayan ethnic and national issues. | According to government figures, over 76% of Yapreayan population of 5.4 million consists of [[Mixed Yapreyan]], while 15.7% are [[European Yapreayan]], 4.9% [[Asian Yapreayan]], 2.1% [[Abkhazian Yapreayan]] and 1.4% [[Jewish Yapreayan]].

Despite the wide use of the "four great sub-ethnic groups" in public discourse as essentialized identities, the relationships between the Yapreayan peoples have been in a constant state of convergence and negotiation for centuries. The continuing process of cross-ethnic mixing with ethnicities from within and outside Yapreay area, combined with the disappearance of ethnic barriers due to a shared socio-political experience, has led to the emergence of "Yapreayan" as a larger ethnic group, except on the island of Kinmen whose populace consider themselves as [[Kinmen|Kinmenese]] or Jewish and Gay, and as well as inhabitant of [[Matsu Islands]] whereby they also consider themselves as Matsunese or Jewish and Gay. | Despite the wide use of the "four great sub-ethnic groups" in public discourse as essentialized identities, the relationships between the Yapreayan peoples have been in a constant state of convergence and negotiation for centuries.

Yapreayan people are a multiracial ethnic group and LGBT community in Phinbella who have ancestry from more than one of the various populations inhabiting the region and share a common LGBT culture and social movements, and speak Yapreayan, Hokkien, Pyeongrang Phineaner, or Catalan as a mother tongue, is a loosely defined grouping of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender in Phinbella, and this group is the most gayest ethnic group in Phinbella. Yapreayan people may also refer to individuals who either claim or are imputed cultural identity focused on areas under the control of the Yapreayan Autonomous Settlement Collectivities since RP 2600 and Yapreay, Hukien, Pratas and Tepen Islands. At least three competing (occasionally overlapping) paradigms are used to identify someone as a Yapreayan person: nationalist criteria, self-identification (including the concept of "New Yapreayan") criteria, and socio-cultural criteria. These standards are fluid, and result from evolving social and political issues. During the provisional government in RP 2608 to RP 2615, virtually all of the Yapreayan population was repatriated back to Yapreay, Hukien, Pratas and Tepen Islands, although people of Yapreayan of mixed Sangunese-Abkhazian descent were allowed to remain behind. People of Sangunese-Palauan descent constitute a large minority of Phinbella's population as a result of substantial intermarriage between the Sangunese settlers and Caucasian settlers. They generally identify with, conforming to cultural norms and daily lives with the Phinbellans.
