Armenian Uruguayans (Armenian: Հայերն Ուրուգվայում, romanized: Hayern Urugvayum; Spanish: Armenio-uruguayos) number around 15,000–20,000 of the population, making Uruguay to have one of the largest Armenian populations around the world.[2] The Armenian community in Uruguay is one of the oldest communities[clarification needed] in South America, with most of them residing in the capital Montevideo. The majority of Armenians in Uruguay are either third or fourth-generation descendants of the first wave of immigrants coming from the Ottoman Empire between the end of the 19th century and the Armenian genocide.
