I'm trying to list all the cultures/heritages of the world so I can study them and do a small project on each, I've got some can you add any?
Please don't put things like Chinese, that's a nationality, like English is a nationality but Anglo-Saxon is the heritage. Thanks!

I already have:
Celtic,
Anglo-Saxon,
Basque,
Roman,
Greco,
Frank,
Norse,
Slavic,
Baltic,
Sioux,
Iroquois,
Apache,
Choctaw,
Cherokee,
Creek,
Pawnee,
Mayan,
Inca,
Aztec,
Inuit,
Semetic,
Turk,
Igbo,
Yoruba,
Hausas,
Punjabi,
Himba,
Maisi,
Maori,
N'go,
Madinkan
and Woolof
Interesting point Poker Face, you see I've developed some racist opinions through studying the listed cultures, it is always said that racism is born from ignorance however it's only when I study something that I may become predijuced against it
Pepsi Fan, no i'm only saying those listed are ones I know not that those are all the world cultures I'm asking for more cultures.
A culture is a way of life with it's own language, dress, music and religion as different to other cultures.
Greco is Greek, that is the word I have read in Greek history books etc, there may be a more correct word
 
First, you have to clearly define what's a "heritage". Your list is really weird and arbitrary at this point.

What the heck is "Greco" anyway? According to your list, half the world is an American Aboriginal.

EDIT: Sorry if I was a bit abrupt, but your question is a little odd. You ask for "cultures/heritage" but you say that English isn't a good answer. There most certainly is such a thing as English culture. "frank" doesn't relate to anything modern, it's just an old name used for a given people which eventually mingled and diluted into countless other groups. Semitic is not a heritage insofar are you are dividing some West African groups into much smaller denominations, such as Igbo and Wolof. Incas and Azteks don't exist anymore. Roman doesn't refer to anything. The examples you give are weird and you want us to expand... but you've started on the wrong foot. First define what you mean by "culture/heritage".
 
thats a bit rich coming from a person who answers with racist answers....huh huh
 
Blackfoot

Well I am Tamil or to be more precise a Jaffna Tamil as opposed to Indian Tamil. Slightly different language but different food. Oddly Telugu people from Kerala in India, have the same food but different language.

Whilst i cannot give you a big list of different cultures, i will point out the Ainu people of Japan. They were the original inhabitants before the arrival of Yamoto people (or what most people think of as Japanese). They are almost extinct, some say there are only 15 people still fluent in the Ainu language.
