Slovene communities in South America refer to groups of people of Slovene ancestry living in various countries of South America. The first Slovenes arrived in South America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily from the Slovene Littoral region, and settled in countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Slovenes arrived in South America for various reasons, including economic opportunities and political turmoil in Slovenia at the time. Many Slovenes found work in agriculture, industry, and trade in South America, and were able to build successful lives for themselves and their families.[1]
Today, these communities have grown to be significant contributors to the cultural and economic life of their adopted countries, despite facing a multitude of challenges. The largest Slovene community in South America is in Argentina, with an estimated 30,000 people of Slovene descent. Other significant communities include Brazil with an estimated 15,000 people, Uruguay with approximately 2,000 people, Venezuela with an estimated 10,000 people, Chile with around 300 people, and Colombia with around 150 people. These communities have maintained their Slovene cultural heritage through various organizations, such as cultural associations, religious groups, and language schools. Many of these organizations have a long-standing history and continue to play an important role in preserving Slovene culture in South America. These communities have maintained their Slovene heritage and contributed to the diversity of South American society.
