Bangladeshi American
Bangladeshi Americans are Americans of Bangladeshi descent. The majority of Bangladeshi Americans are Bengalis, and a minority are from indigenous Jumma people or Pahari people. Many immigrated from Chittagong, and Sylhet, regions with a long trading and seafaring history. Bangladeshi immigrants arrived in the United States especially since the early 1970s to become among the fastest growing ethnic communities that decade. New York City, Paterson in New Jersey, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago, Miami, Dallas, and Hamtramck, Michigan are home to notable Bangladeshi communities.

Famous quotes containing the word american:
“The train was crammed, the heat stifling. We feel out of sorts, but do not quite know if we are hungry or drowsy. But when we have fed and slept, life will regain its looks, and the American instruments will make music in the merry cafe described by our friend Lange. And then, sometime later, we die.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
