History of Greece (Ancient · Byzantine · Ottoman) |
The Greek diaspora, also known as Omogenia (Greek: Ομογένεια, romanized: Omogéneia),[1][2] are the communities of Greeks living outside of Greece and Cyprus.
Such places historically (dating to the ancient period) include, Albania, North Macedonia, southern Russia, Ukraine, Asia Minor and Pontus (in today's Turkey), Georgia, Egypt, Sudan, southern Italy (the so-called "Magna Graecia"), Sicily, Cargèse and Marseille in France.
The term also refers to communities established by Greek migration (mostly since the 19th century) outside of the traditional areas; such as in Australia, Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Germany, South Africa, Brazil and others.
The Greek diaspora population is estimated at 5 million, which when added to the population of Greece (approximately 10 million), it gives a total worldwide Greek population of approximately 15 million.
