=== Arabs === Honduras hosts a significant [[Palestinian people|Palestinian]] community (the vast majority of whom are [[Christian Arabs]]).<ref>[http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/200104/the.arabs.of.honduras.htm The Arabs of Honduras] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141009182011/http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/200104/the.arabs.of.honduras.htm |date=9 October 2014 }}. Larry Luxner. ''Saudi Aramco World.''</ref> These Arab-Hondurans are sometimes called "Turcos", because they arrived in Honduras using Turkish travel documents, as their homeland was then under the control of the [[Ottoman Empire]].
