Since its founding in 1625 by Dutch traders as New Amsterdam, New York City has been a major destination for immigrants of many nationalities who have formed ethnic enclaves, neighborhoods dominated by one ethnicity.〔 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The New Netherland )〕 Freed African American slaves also moved to New York City in the Great Migration and the later Second Great Migration and formed ethnic enclaves.〔 These neighborhoods are set apart from the main city by differences such as food, goods for sale, or even language. Ethnic enclaves provide inhabitants security in work and social opportunities,〔 but limit economic opportunities, do not encourage the development of English speaking, and keep immigrants in their own culture.〔 , 36% of the population of New York City are immigrants. African Americans, Haitian Americans, Jamaican Americans and Trinidadian Americans have all formed ethnic enclaves in New York. Asian ethnic groups with enclaves in New York include Chinese Americans, Filipino Americans, Indian Americans, Pakistani Americans and Korean Americans. European ethnic groups with ethnic enclaves include Greek Americans, Irish Americans, Italian Americans, Albanian Americans, Jewish Americans, Polish Americans, and Russian Americans. Latin American groups with ethnic enclaves include Dominican Americans, Guyanese, Salvadoran American, Ecuadorian American Mexican Americans, and Nuyoricans. Middle Eastern ethnic groups that have formed ethnic enclaves include Palestinian Americans, Jordanian Americans, Egyptian Americans, Syrian Americans and Lebanese Americans. As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Endangered Language Alliance )〕 making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world.〔〔 〕 ==History of immigration to and ethnic enclaves in New York City== New York City was founded in 1625, by Dutch traders as New Amsterdam.〔 The settlement was a slow growing village, but was diverse. However, the Netherlands never had a large emigrant population, and the colony attracted few Dutch and more people from different ethnic groups.〔 As early as 1646, 18 languages were spoken in New Amsterdam, and ethnic groups within New Amsterdam included Dutch, Danes, English, Flemish, French, Germans, Irish, Italians, Norwegians, Poles, Portuguese, Scots, Swede, Walloons, and Bohemians. The young, diverse village also became a seafarer's town, with taverns and smugglers.〔 After Peter Stuyvesant became Director, New Amsterdam began to grow more quickly, achieving a population of 1,500, and growing to 2,000 by 1655 and almost to 9,000 in 1664, when the British seized the colony, renaming it New York. Colonial New York City was also a center of religious diversity, including one of the first Jewish congregations, along with Philadelphia, Savannah, and Newport, in what was to become the United States. 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「New York City ethnic enclaves」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
