A diaspora ( dy-ASP-ər-ə) is a population dispersed across multiple regions outside its geographic place of origin, typically comprising people who continue to identify—culturally, politically, religiously, or emotionally—with a particular homeland while residing elsewhere. The term originates from the ancient Greek διασπορά (diaspora, lit. 'dispersion') and was first used this way in reference to the Jewish exile following the Babylonian captivity.
