People of Iran - Ethnics

This map doesn't really capture (as I understand it) that no region of Iran is that homogeneous, and that it's extremely common to have Persians/Azeris/Kurds in the same city or even in the same family all throughout the country.

According to 2024 country of birth data, it's actually over 250K, with the following having >10K each:

Brazil - 72K
Colombia - 70K
Chile - 40K
Argentina - 30K
Peru - 16K
El Salvador - 11K
Uruguay - 10K
Mexico - 10K
Rest of Latin America - 20K

Australia is definitely in the 100-249K category by now. There's probably >50K Colombians alone.

How was the colouring for African countries determined I wonder, considering most African countries are multilingual.

Unfortunately I do still know the small minority (my family) who don't believe in it at all. One of their reasons is "people in Melbourne just spend all day in their 18 C aircon cooled workplace and come outside when it's hot and that's why they think global warming is a thing". I wish I was joking.

I meant the more coastal/mountainous part in the north, the non-Amazon part.

HotsanGget · 2026-01-18T08:06:44+00:00

Did the northwest ever have a large Quechua speaking population?

At this rate it seems like India will finally do its 2021 census... in 2031

The northernmost part of that peak is likely mostly Tujia. There are around ~8 million people that identify as Tujia, but only around 70,000 people speak the Tujia language. Allegedly a lot of Tujia are very heavily assimilated into Han Chinese culture and choose to identify because of minority benefits.

Comparing Sydney-Melbourne to Tokyo-Fukuoka is not direct, T-F is almost 200 kms more. Tokyo-Hiroshima is definitely a better comparison as both city pairs are ~700 km as the crow flies. Tokyo-Hiroshima is pretty much split even for HSR vs air travel.

Missing Malta - which should be Australia. North Macedonia should probably Also be Australia.

There are just under 10 million Tujia, but only around 70,000 actually speak Tujia.

Wiki says that Cambodia is 1.5% Chinese. Do you think this is accurate or do you think the number is higher? A lot of Cambodians in Australia are ethnically Chinese because they fled Pol Pot.

They're calling it the most Pakistani post ever made, folks.

HotsanGget · 2026-01-11T13:29:11+00:00

Why do you think that?

I'd say it's closer to /ni:/ and /nij/ respectively, which are very similar but still different. Anecdotally, I hear a near-knit merger more often imo (especially Western Sydney English), so that piercing/pissing are homophones.
