Overseas Vietnamese (Vietnamese: Người Việt hải ngoại, which literally means "Overseas Vietnamese") or Việt Kiều, a Sino-Vietnamese word (越僑) (meaning "Vietnamese sojourner") refers to Vietnamese people living outside of Vietnam in a diaspora and can be broadly classified into those who have existed outside Vietnam pre-Vietnam War, those who fled as refugees because of the Vietnam War, and the newer recent immigrants who grew up in the Post-War era. The largest community lives in the United States. Of the about 4.5 million Overseas Vietnamese, a majority of them left Vietnam as economic and political refugees after the 1975 capture of Saigon and the North Vietnamese takeover of pro-U.S. South Vietnam.
