Post your ethnic maps here

BM basically turned into a suburb of Indianapolis, and the same goes for Chester.

BM isn't actually all that close though. I mean, it’s not a massive trek, but it’s impractical and just a waste of gas. You might as well have said Bilje if you wanted to talk about places that far out. 🤷

2000.

And a correction. Russian is basically being treated as the primary language here.

Just like BM...

You should probably look into how many ABC employees from the Indianapolis area are actually living over in BM...

Henry Myers3 said:In Turkey, the Alevi community is considered part of the Shia branch and makes up roughly 20% of the total population. It’s important to note they are a religious group rather than an ethnic one. This includes both segments of the Kurdish population and certain Turkish groups. We're talking about at least fifteen million people...

I'm aware they fall under the Shia umbrella, but their connection to mainstream Islam isn't exactly direct... it feels more like this unique blend of Islam, Christianity, and perhaps other spiritual traditions...

You're talking about Alavits, but what we see in Turkey are actually alevits.

The Alavits didn't even consider themselves Muslims, and they were well aware they faced persecution from Sunnis. It was only under Asad that they finally gained recognition as part of Islam, though before that, he focused on suppressing the opposition. In Syria, the Alavits hold the reins of the military and the political elite. They have support from Christians, while the Sunnis—who make up roughly 70-75% of the population—are kept under their control. That dynamic is exactly why Syria is in the state it's in today....

Don't forget, Druze.

It’s pretty wild when you look at it. From Israel over to Syria, those people are always incredibly loyal to whatever country they call home—even when it comes to Israel.

I honestly thought they were Alavit... my mistake (pure ignorance on my part)...

As for Syria, I have a handle on that situation.

Cambodia.
I am quite unsure when this map was originally drafted... perhaps it refers to the indigenous peoples who first inhabited what we now recognize as Cambodia. Or, it could be some sort of quasi-map released during the era of the so-called Khmer Rouge regime.
One might assume it is quite antiquated, given that Kampong Som hasn't been referred to by that name on any standard map for at least 25 years.
In any case, if we look at the numbers—the total Cham population in Cambodia sits at roughly 220,000, or about 1.5%. With Phnom Penh’s population estimated at approximately 2,300,000, of which 90% are Khmer, that green patch surrounding Phnom Penh is utterly absurd.

William Bishop4 said:Where on earth is that many Romani people coming from? Are we talking about established families or recent arrivals? What’s their actual origin story?
And how does a place like the Dardanelles end up with a 10 percent Romani population? I mean, what's the integration like? What's the socioeconomic status? Which religious groups do they follow? Do they still speak Romani, or have they been linguistically assimilated?
Thanks.

The Rom community has been in Baranja for a long time. We're talking several hundred years. They're part of that same migration wave that moved from Transylvania into Slavonia and Bačka. About a century ago, they spoke both Romani and Romanian, and even today, plenty of them still do.

A hundred years back, they were mostly clustered in a few villages in northwest Baranja and right in Darda.

Back in 1910, Petrov Selo had about 25 Rom residents, most of whom were Catholic. In Torjanac, there were around 70, mostly Catholic but with seven identifying as Orthodox. Over in Bolman, there were about 300—roughly twenty Catholics and the rest Orthodox. In Darda, you had about a hundred, mostly Orthodox.

Also, the Khmer Rouge kicked out the Vietnamese minority and massacred whoever was left, but there are quite a few of them today (maybe 600,000) since they likely moved back after the regime fell.

Indeed, once the Vietnamese entered Cambodia, a significant wave of migration commenced. Most of this population is currently clustered in Phnom Penh, near Lake Superior, and within the various settlements along the Vietnamese-Cambodian border.

What’s the deal with Catholics being under 50% here? Who are they counting against them, Protestants?

Richard Wilson4 said:What’s the deal with Catholics being under 50% here? Who are they counting against them, Protestants?

If you look at places like Topeka or Little Rock, you see how the Protestant population and those who don't specify their faith really shift the numbers, whereas down by the Mississippi River, it's mostly just the unaffiliated making the difference, given there are only about 270 Protestants in the whole county.

What was the name of that town up north, some mining spot, where there are Americans too?
