==Name==
The ethnic name ''Altfers'' derives from a [[Wikipedia:Compound (linguistics)|compound]] of the [[Wikipedia:Crimean Gothic|Altferic]] words ''alt'' and ''fers'', literally meaning 'old' and 'people'.
==Population and present settlement area==
Altferians comprise 14.9 percent of the population of Durentrus, whilst comprising 0.2 percent of the population of Vothetria. The government of Sarentria established reservations for the Altferians to protect their dwindling population, which comprises less than 0.1 percent of the population.
===Morstaybishlia===
In the 14th and 15th centuries, during and following the Seventy Years' War, numbers of Altferians were subject to or willingly resettled to the Valerian lands of the Kingdom of Morstaybishlia as a result of Ethalrian deportation campaigns in the region.
In the 1970-80s, during the first decade of the Sofura regime, another emigration wave to the Valerian and Staynish in Morstaybishlia took place after the governments' Anti-Altferer Policy.
