Hirst, The Australians: Insiders and Outsiders on the National Character Since 1770, p. 15〕 are Australians who ancestrally originate wholly or partially in the countries of the British Isles (England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland).〔(1301.0 – Year Book Australia, 1995 )〕〔Ireland was historically a part of Britain. See: Ireland: Union with Great Britain〕 ==History== From the beginning of the colonial era until the mid-20th century, the vast majority of settlers to Australia were from the British Isles, with the English being the dominant group, followed by the Irish and Scottish. Among the leading ancestries, increases in Australian, Irish, and German ancestries and decreases in English, Scottish, and Welsh ancestries appear to reflect such shifts in perception or reporting. These reporting shifts at least partly resulted from changes in the design of the census question, in particular the introduction of a tick box format in 2001.〔http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/7d12b0f6763c78caca257061001cc588/af5129cb50e07099ca2570eb0082e462!OpenDocument Australia Bureau of Statistics〕 Until 1859, 2.2 million (73%) of the free settlers who immigrated were British.〔(HISTORICAL RECORDS REVEAL OZ ANCESTORS OF 16 MILLION BRITS )〕 The United Kingdom has been the largest overseas-born birthplace group in the Australian population for all of the 20th century. However, as a proportion of the total overseas-born, the United Kingdom born are in decline. The United Kingdom comprised 58 per cent of the total overseas-born in 1901 and only 27 per cent in 1996. An even greater decline has occurred for the Ireland-born. In 1901, the Ireland-born were the second largest overseas-born birthplace group at 22 per cent of all overseas-born. In 1996 the Ireland-born had decreased to 1 per cent of all overseas-born. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anglo-Celtic Australian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
