Loose community, which has stronger communities within it okulumo.gif

A tribe are more like family, or feel like they have to protect each other like family, where as a community are just people who share common traits. Since I think many of us Esperantists like to argue and disagree about silly topics, we're not very tribal lango.gif

Is this a language question?

'Tribe' is sometimes extended in English to cover a subculture, or group within the main culture.

But without context, it suggests a (small) group of primitive people - eg tribes of the Amazon forest.

In the media nowadays the word 'community' is sometimes used in a very unrealistic fashion to refer to groups in which there is actually no sense of community.

We might also be a movement, or a diaspora, or a people, or a society, depending on who you ask.

If I had to choose one word, it would be "movement". This movement includes different types of societies and clubs, international, national and local, as well as internet groups (like this one). One of the deepest and most permanent supporting structures of the whole movement is a committee called the Akademio. Another feature of the movement is an annual World Congress and national congresses.

By this definition, we could be mistaken for a close family lango.gif

I prefer 'tribunity'.

Nah, just kidding. 'Movement' is what I hear most often.
