Today, the overwhelming majority of Asian Latinos are of Chinese, Asian Indian or Japanese descent, with Koreans and Vietnamese the most significant groups thereafter. While Vietnamese living in Latin America are almost entirely confined to Cuba and Asian Indians are mostly confined to the Caribbean and Guyana, other Asian groups are represented all throughout Latin America. Most of those of Japanese descent reside in Brazil and Peru, while those of Chinese ancestry are found primarily in Argentina, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. Smaller communities of Chinese--numbering anywhere between a couple of hundreds to one or two thousand--also reside in Costa Rica (where they make up about 1% of the total population), Ecuador and various other Latin American countries. There is also a significant Filipino and Taiwanese community in El Salvador. The small Korean communities reside in Chile, Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina.
