This was a great thread ruined by low IQ retards in some pages... Let's bump it again with relevant information.
If I'm not mistaken the biggest Tyrolean diaspora in the world is in Brazil. Historically speaking all of the Tyrol has a shared identity and even Italian speaking people from Trentino identified more with Austria than with Italy until some decades ago.
Some of these people are likely only 1/16, 1/8 or 1/4 Tyrolean since Tyroleans intermarried with other German and Italian groups in Brazil.
The first Tyrolean colony was founded in the 19th century, in the Espírito Santo state, most were from Austrian tyrol.
Other colonies followed in the 19th century, mostly in Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais states.
Then Italian-speaking Tyroleans (''Trentinos'') started to migrate, the bulk of immigration was to Espírito Santo again, São Paulo and Santa Catarina.
