''Dominican'' was historically the demonym for the inhabitants of the Captaincy General of Santo Domingo, and was retained after the nation's independence was obtained. The majority of Dominicans reside in the Dominican Republic, although there is also a large Dominican diaspora, mainly in the United States (also in Spain and Puerto Rico to a lesser extent). The population of the Dominican Republic in 2007 was estimated by the United Nations at 9,760,000. ==Name== For most of its history (up to independence) the colony was known as Santo Domingo, the name of its present capital, and its patron saint, Saint Dominic. Hence the residents were called "Dominicanos" (Dominicans), which is the adjective form of "Domingo", and the revolutionaries named their newly independent country "La República Dominicana". It was often referred to as the "Republic of San Domingo" in English language 19th Century publications. Another name that's been commonly used is "Quisqueyanos". In the national anthem of the Dominican Republic (Himno Nacional) the author uses the poetic term ''Quisqueyanos'', that is, "Quisqueyans" instead of ''Dominicans''. The word "Quisqueya" is a derivative from a native tongue of the Taino Indians which means, "Mother of all Lands." It is often used in songs as another name for the country. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「People of the Dominican Republic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
