The Largest Slavic Ethnic Groups Including Diasporas
This informative chart provides a snapshot of the world's largest Slavic ethnic groups, including those living in diasporas around the globe. The Slavs are a diverse ethno-linguistic group native to Eastern, Central, and Southeastern Europe, sharing common linguistic roots but with rich and varied cultural histories.
The three main branches of Slavic people are:
East Slavs: Russians (135 million), Ukrainians (46.5 million), Belarusians (9.5 million)
West Slavs: Poles (49 million), Czechs (11 million), Slovaks (6.5 million), Kashubians, Moravians
South Slavs: Serbs (10 million), Croats (6 million), Bosniaks (3.5 million), Slovenians (2.5 million), Bulgarians (7.3 million), Macedonians (2.7 million), Montenegrins (300,000)
While Russians are by far the largest Slavic group, many others have significant populations both within their home countries and in global diasporas. For instance, Poles and Ukrainians have large communities in North America and Western Europe.
This demographic insight sheds light on the cultural and linguistic diversity within the Slavic world, which has played a major role in European history and continues to influence global migration, politics, and identity.
