News / Polish Diaspora - many of these 20 million actually speak Polish? [79]
it's actually over 11 million, however many of them are Polish nationals who've immigrated from say, the 2nd polish republic, eg. Ukrainians, Belorussians and Jews who've held Polish passports at the time.
and I'm not sure whether or not that takes into account the thousands of illegals from Poland living mostly in the north (especially in New Jersey, Chicago and New York)
so the exact number of ethnic Poles in the US is highly debated.
at least half of them or more are Jewish (again, Polish nationals).
What's interesting is that I remember reading about a year ago how there were somewhere around 1.5-1.8 million 'Poles' living in Israel, and that statistic suddenly vanished from most online sources now (including wikipedia)..
USA: 10,000,000 (Many in Chicago)
