Cypriot Americans are Americans of full or partial Cypriot ancestry. Cypriot Americans, alongside English, speak Cypriot Greek, Cypriot Turkish, Cypriot Arabic, or Armenian. The majority of Cypriot Americans are either Eastern Christians (predominately members of the Eastern Orthodox Church of Cyprus and Maronites) or Sunni Muslims. Despite their historically rural origins, early Cypriot immigrants mainly settled in large urban centers, with New York City harboring the largest community. The state of New York is home to the highest number of Cypriot Americans (approximately 2,587), followed by New Jersey and Florida.〔Schaefer, Richard T., ''Encyclopedia of Race, Ethnicity and Society, Volume 1'' (2008) p.366 ISBN 978-1-4129-2694-2〕 ==History== The U.S. Census Bureau recognizes Cypriot Americans as Western Asian or Middle Eastern Americans, according to its official designations.〔See also, ''A Journalist's Guide to Middle Eastern Americans: A Project of the Asian American Journalists Association'' (1991) p.4 Coles, Roberta L., ''Race and Family: A Structural Approach'' (2005) p.208 ISBN 978-0-7619-8864-9 Kendall, Diana, ''Sociology in Our Times: The Essentials'' (2008) p.310 ISBN 978-0-495-59862-6 Cross, Elsie Y., ''Managing Diversity: The Courage to Lead'' (2000) p.218 ISBN 978-1-56720-269-4 Lynch, Eleanor W., ''Developing Cross-Cultural Competence'' (2004) p.374 ISBN 978-1-55766-744-1 Argyrides, Marios, ''Cross-cultural Perceptual Differences Among African American, Caucasian and Greek-Cypriot College Students'' (2007) ISBN 978-3-8364-2676-3 Samhan, Helen, "(Not Quite White: Race Classification )", ''AAI'', April 4, 1997 (AMIDEAST Official Website )〕 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「Cypriot Americans」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
