What dnd races are required?

@dnd

I’m making a new #homebrew #dnd setting. The mistake I felt I made last time was trying to devise an orgin from whole cloth for each playable race, which wasted a TON of time and energy while also confusing my players. So, herein I wish to ask: What playable races would you miss, if you joined my table and noticed their absence?

Humans, dwarves, halflings, orcs, goblinoids, and elves will all stay, but I am not sure about all the others.

    Nothing is required. It’s your world. I restrict mine to “no furry races” like Tabaxi or other anthropomorphic races. I do allow avian races because they’re harder to play, dragonborn, as well as Firbolg.
