isolated community
Cut-off village
An isolated community is a settlement cut off from broader society by geography, infrastructure, or deliberate separation.
Remote villages, island populations, and intentional communes all qualify.
The isolation may be physical—an isolated community accessible only by air—or social, as with religious groups that limit outside contact.
Such communities often develop distinct customs, dialects, or self-sufficiency.
