'''Germans''' are a [[Germanic people]], sharing a similar history and genetics, and associated with the [[German language]] and [[Germany]].

==Definition==
[[File:Pomerode.jpg|thumb|300px|Pomerode was founded by Pomeranian Germans in 1861 and is considered the "most typically German of all [[German Brazilian|German towns of southern Brazil]]".]]
Germans are defined by their blood, or by law (national citizenship), which has, in the course of German history, varying relations to [[German culture]] ([https://de.metapedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Kultur de]), along with the influence of sub-cultures and society in general. Countries with a significant [[ethnic German]] population are Germany (overall population 83 million<ref>According to the "Central Register of Foreign Nationals" (AZR), there were about 11.2 million "foreigners" living in Germany at the end of 2019.</ref>, Austria (9 million<ref>93.5% are German according to the 2001 Census</ref>) and the German part of [[Switzerland]] (921,000<ref>Switzerland has about a quarter of its population born outside the country, and is one of the two countries with the highest proportion of immigrants in the western world. It probably therefore reduces this figures by a third.</ref>.

==Worldwide==

Out of approximately 100 million native speakers of German in the world, about 80 million consider themselves Germans. There are an additional 70 million people of German ancestry (mainly in the [[German American|USA]], [[Brazil]], [[Argentina]], [[Paraguay]], [[Russia]], [[Canada]] and [[Australia]]) who are not native speakers of German but who may still consider themselves ethnic Germans (''[[Volksdeutsche]]''), so that the total number of Germans worldwide lies upwards of 160 million, depending on the criteria applied (native speakers, single-ancestry ethnic Germans or partial German ancestry).

In the USA, 15.2 % of citizens identify as [[German American]] (over 40,000,000) according to the United States Census of 2000. Although the percentage has declined, it is still more than any other group. Another 534,000 German citizens live in the USA. 142,000 Germans live in Russia, another 840,000 consider themselves ethnic Germans. 21,000 Germans live in Brazil, over 3,000,000 are of German heritage, about 12 million Brazilians have at least some German heritage, 1.5 million speak German or Brazilian German.<ref>The mutually comprehensible German-based dialects spoken by German Brazilians together form a significant minority language in Brazil. They are particularly strong in the country's South and Southeast Regions. Brazilian German is strongly influenced by Portuguese and to a lesser extent by Italian dialects and indigenous languages.</ref> Australia has over 1,000,000 people of German citizenship or heritage and over 500,000 Argentinians are of German desent.
