You mean ethnicities that are still deprived of nationhood, so the empire they are subjects of assigns different timezones to them compared to other ethnicities

You mean ethnicities that are still deprived of nationhood, so the empire they are subjects of assigns different timezones to them compared to other ethnicities they rule ?? (Any examples ??)

The classic example (and it may in fact be the only extant one) is the occupied West Bank, where Israelis keep a different time than Palestinians (sometimes): https://www.972mag.com/the-worlds-only-ethnic-time-zone/ https://www.972mag.com/the-worlds-only-ethnic-time-zone/

  Yeah, ISTR that there are (or have recently been) some at least theoretical (that is, where there were political claims with different timezones, but not necessarily populations in the affected area using both) ones besides that, but that may well be the only current one.

There's some informal use of a Xinjiang timezone among Uyghurs. China as a whole only has one official timezone.
