Bangladeshi Americans (Bengali: বাংলাদেশী মার্কিনী, romanizedBangladeshī Markinī) are American citizens with Bangladeshi origin or descent.[9] Bangladeshi Americans are predominantly Bengali Americans and are usually Bengali speaking Muslims with roots in Bangladesh. Since the early 1970s, Bangladeshi immigrants have arrived in significant numbers to become one of the fastest growing ethnic groups in the U.S. New York City is home to two-thirds of the Bangladeshi American population. Meanwhile, Paterson, New Jersey; Atlantic City, New Jersey;[10] and Monroe Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey are also home to notable Bangladeshi communities.[11]
