Antarcticans

Antarcticans (Spanish: antarcticanos) are people connected with the country of Antarctica. This may be residential, legal, cultural or historical; for most, several (or all) such connections exist and are the source of their identifying as Antarctican.

Over 99% of citizens of Antarctica speak Spanish as their mother tongue (first language), which is the sole official and national language of the country; the remainder consist virtually entirely of immigrants from non-Hispanophone countries or their descendants, nearly all of whom speak Spanish as their second language, with some adopting Spanish as their family/home language and others continuing to use a mother tongue (instances of the latter strongly correlating with recentness of immigration).

While approximately 90% of second- (or third-, fourth-, etc.) generation Antarcticans are descended primarily (or entirely) from European immigrants–and thus identify as white–innumerable, highly diverse (geographically, culturally and/or ethnically) communities of immigrants constitute the ancestors of the remaining 10% of natural born citizens, who identify variously as black (or Africans), Asian, East Asian, (or Chinese/Han Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Tibetans, etc.), Mainland Southeast Asians (or Thai, Lao, Miao, Khmer, Vietnamese, Burmese, etc.), Austronesian (or Javanese, Balinese, Malagasy, Malays, Filipinos, Polynesians, Micronesians, Melanesians, etc.), South Asian (or Indians, Pakistanis, Punjabis, Sindhis, Rajasthanis, Bengalis, Tamils, Sinhalese, Marathis, Nepalis, etc.), West Asian/Middle Eastern (or Arabs, Persians, Kurds, Turks, etc.), Indigenous/Aboriginal/Native (or Native Americans, Aboriginal Australians, etc.), and others, as any combination thereof, or as generically mixed race.
