In recent years, Chile has had a growing [[East Asian population]], mainly from [[China]] (see [[Chinese Chilean]]), but also from [[Japan]] (see [[Japanese Chilean]]) and [[South Korea]] (see [[Koreans in Chile]]). The earliest wave of East Asian immigration took place in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, mainly Chinese and Japanese contract laborers.

There is a sizable population of [[Romani people]] in Chile. They are widely and easily recognized, and continue to hold on to their traditions and language, and many continue to live semi-nomadic lifestyles traveling from city to city and living in small tented [[communities]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.errc.org/roma-rights-journal/emerging-romani-voices-from-latin-america|title=Emerging Romani Voices from Latin America|website=European Roma Rights Centre|language=HU|access-date=2019-03-06}}</ref>
