The category: American, highlights the national and linguistic identity of people, associated with the United States and American culture.
Overview
The Americans are the multi-ethnic citizens of the United States (circa 316 million). Aside from the Native American population, nearly all Americans or their ancestors came from other countries within the past five centuries, as a result of immigration or slave trade. They primarily speak the English language.
Most Americans today live within the borders of independent United States (circa 313 million) with sizeable minorities in nearby Mexico and Canada.
