2nd Largest Nationality Living In Each European Country

[Plavuša]

I found this interesting map on the internet today. Some countries really surprised me and I'm not sure, if the map is totally correct (for example, I know for sure, that Germans are the 2nd largest Nationality in Austria, followed by Serbs and Montenegrins) Have you expected this results?



The map above shows the flag of the 2nd largest nationality, by country of birth, living in each European country. Thus, it may include citizens and those who have moved temporarily for work. Nevertheless, there are many surprises, such as:

-Ireland is no longer the largest source of foreign born residents to the UK. Since 2011, they’ve dropped to 4th, behind India, Poland and Pakistan.

-Neither the Cezch Republic nor Slovakia are each other’s second largest nationality, despite both being successor states to Czechoslovakia.

-Despite both being comprised primarily of ethnic Albanians, neither Kosovo nor Albania are each other’s second largest national group.

-Poles make up the 2nd largest group in Ireland, Iceland, Norway and Lithuania.

-Turks make up the 2nd largest group in not only Germany, but also the Netherlands, Denmark, Austria and Bulgaria.

-Although you can barely see it on the map Portugal born residents are the 2nd largest group in Luxembourg, while Brazilians make up the 2nd largest group in Portugal.

-The impact of the former USSR can still be fairly clearly seen, given that Russians make up the 2nd largest group in Estonia, Latvia, Belarus and Ukraine. However, in Russia itself Ukrainians are the 2nd largest group.

- Similarly Serbs make the 2nd largest group in 4 of the 7 successor states to Yugoslavia (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro) yet Hungarians are the 2nd largest group in Serbia.

-Finally, the 2nd largest group in Spain, Italy and Hungary are Romanians not Chadians.

Controversially, the map author decided to include Kurdistan as a separate nation. And states that: “I did have a dilemma with Turkey because although Kurdistan isn’t a country, Kurds (who don’t consider themselves to be Turkish) are by far the 2nd most popular, and it would be misleading to suggest otherwise.”

Finally, because I know somebody is going to mention it, the United kingdom is treated as single country in the map above in keeping with the Countries in the International Organization for Standardization. None of the the 4 constituent countries of the UK is a Sovereign state and thus is not be listed separately.

I hope Finns and Swedes in Sweden will start moving to Finland, they are taking 100.000 immigrants a year, it is an alien place.

Polish migration to the United Kingdom describes the temporary or permanent settlement of Polish people in the United Kingdom. Most Polish migrants arrived in the UK after the 2004 enlargement of the European Union. At the time of the 2011 Census, 521,000 Polish-born people reported being resident in the UK, and there is a wider population of British Poles, including the descendants of over 200,000 immigrants who settled in the UK after World War II.

Poles are the third largest foreign-born community in the UK after Irish and Indian born people and the Polish language is the second most spoken language in England and the third most spoken language in the UK after English and Welsh, with 1% of Britain's population speaking Polish. Since 2004 there have been an increasing number of Polish-British citizens in the UK.

60,711 Polish-born (2001 Census)
579,000 Polish-born (2011 Census)
850,000 resident Poles (May 2012)

In France, if we include people with French nationality, it's probably a Southern European nationality that comes first.

If we need to add largest nationality in Turkey, It would be Albanians later Bosnians ,

Georgians, Arabs
