Vietnamese Americans (Vietnamese: Người Mỹ gốc Việt) are Americans of Vietnamese ancestry.[5] They comprise approximately half of all overseas Vietnamese and are the fourth-largest Asian American ethnic group following Chinese Americans, Indian Americans, and Filipino Americans. There are approximately 2.3 million people of Vietnamese descent residing in the U.S. as of 2023.

Spread of the Vietnamese language in the United States

The Vietnamese community in the United States was minimal until the exodus of South Vietnamese refugees to the country following the end of Vietnam War in 1975. More than half of Vietnamese Americans reside in the two most populous states of California and Texas, primarily their large urban areas.[6]
