Who moved where in Europe, or what nationalities are most

An unusual thematic map of the world has appeared on the Internet. It shows all the largest national minorities in Europe. When creating a map, not only citizens of a country of another nationality were taken into account, but also temporarily residing in its territory.

  • The new map shows how much the world has changed in recent decades. For example, the Irish, traditionally considered the national majority in Britain for the past hundred years, have been pushed as far as fourth by India, Poland and Pakistan.
  • The Czech Republic and Slovakia were once one big friendly Czechoslovakia, and it would be logical to assume that migration will occur, but it wasn’t there. The first place in the Czech Republic is occupied by gypsies. And in Slovakia there are most Hungarians.
  • Kosovo and Albania are mostly ethnic Albanians, but Kosovars are not the largest minority in Albania.
  • Most of the Poles live in Ireland and Iceland, they are in first place in Norway and Lithuania.
  • The Turks densely settled not only in Germany, but also in the Netherlands, Denmark, Austria and Bulgaria.
  • Most of all Portuguese people are in tiny Luxembourg, and Brazilians “come in large numbers” to Portugal.
  • Greetings from socialist times: the largest national minority in Ukraine, Belarus, Estonia and Latvia are Russians. And in Russia itself, most Ukrainians.
  • Many Serbs live in the former Yugoslavia, and Hungarians live in Serbia.

This data was provided by the Reddit user with the long name JimWillFixIt69. There are doubts about the reliability of the map, because almost no country has accurate statistics, and traditionally, the concept of a national minority does not include citizens of other countries temporarily staying in the territory. So discussions are in full swing.
