Named verse and song forms that belong to one specific regional, linguistic or cultural poetic tradition, from the Occitan troubadour canso and sirventes to the Japanese waka, the Marathi lavani, the Somali buraanbur and the Classical Chinese poetry genres. Belongs here: a poetic form whose own description identifies it with one named language, people or historical regional school, whether or not it later spread elsewhere. Does not belong here: a poetic form or movement general to the craft rather than one tradition's own, placed under lyric and short poetic forms instead, and a tradition-specific form whose defining purpose is religious or devotional (Vachana Sahitya's bhakti-movement content, for example), placed under religious and devotional writing instead.
