*Croatian immigration to Bolivia was a migratory movement that traces its roots to the 19th century, during the settlement of the Chaco plains of central South America. The Croatian government estimates that the Croatian diaspora in Bolivia has an estimated 5,000 people, including immigrants and descendants of third and fourth generation. | |||
*The first Croatian immigrants, mostly from the '''province of Dalmatia''', arrived between the mid-19th century and early 20th centuries. | |||
*These immigrants settled mainly '''in the eastern region of the country, in the city of Santa Cruz; in Cochabamba; and in the southern region, around Tarija.''' Included are '''Istro-Romanians''', who became adjusted to Bolivian society because of the linguistic similarities between Istro-Romanian and Spanish, as well as Latin identity of Istro-Romanians.<ref>"Croatian Bolivians", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatian_Bolivians, accessed 20 May 2021.</ref> | |||
