ethnos

Alongside the "typical" polis, another form of state, i.e. ethnos, emerged in Greece.

除了这种“典型”的城邦外，形成了另一种类型的国家-“部落”国家。

According to the official statement, the present situation is that Yi-zu is "one ethnos complicated with various languages and branches" while in 1950s the "Yi" was confirmed as the "ethnos".

「彝」自一九五○年代「民」确定以来的现况，依官定说法，是「一个语言复杂而支系繁多的民」。
