1. clannish

   A clan is a group of people united by actual or perceived kinship and descent. Even if lineage details are unknown, clans may claim descent from founding member or apical ancestor. Clans, in indigenous societies, tend to be endogamous, meaning that their members can marry one another. Clans preceded more centralized forms of community organization and government, and exist in every country. Members may identify with a coat of arms or other symbol to show that they are an independent clan. Kinship-based groups may also have a symbolic ancestor, whereby the clan shares a "stipulated" common ancestor who serves as a symbol of the clan's unity.

1. clannish

   Clannish refers to the tendency of members of a group or community to exclusively interact, socialize, and bond with each other, often to the exclusion of outsiders. This behavior can also involve a strong sense of loyalty and solidarity towards the group, and it is usually associated with the desire to maintain and protect cultural or social traditions, norms or values unique to that particular group. It can sometimes be perceived as unfriendly or exclusive by those who are not part of the group.
