and most diverse populations of any municipality anywhere.
The Hispanic and Asian American populations are growing
particularly quickly — the Asian American population

the largest populations of Armenians, Cambodians, Filipinos,
Guatemalans, Israelis, Koreans, Salvadorans, Thais,

of Japanese and Persians living in the U.S., and has

who speak at least 224 different languages. Ethnic enclaves
like Chinatown, Koreatown, Little India (Artesia), Little
Armenia, Thai Town, Historic Filipinotown and Little
Ethiopia give testimony to the polyglot character of
Los Angeles.
