Official figures exist for 3 countries; together they add up to 18,287,193. This is not an estimate of the world total: the censuses were held in different years (2007-2022) and define belonging differently, and countries without such data are not counted.

Where they live: census figures

Each figure comes from the country's official census. Censuses define belonging differently (self-identification, citizenship, mother tongue, ancestry); the type is given on each row.
