Alberta has considerable ethnic diversity.

</ref> According to Statistics Canada, Alberta is home to the second-highest proportion (two percent) of [[Geographical distribution of French speakers|Francophones]] in western Canada (after [[Manitoba]]). Despite this, relatively few Albertans claim French as their mother tongue. Many of [[Franco-Albertans|Alberta's French-speaking residents]] live in the central and northwestern regions of the province, after migration from other areas of Canada or descending from Métis. As reported in the 2001 census, the Chinese represented nearly four percent of Alberta's population, and South Asians represented more than two percent. Both Edmonton and Calgary have historic [[Chinatown]]s, and Calgary has Canada's third-largest Chinese community. The Chinese presence began with workers employed in the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the 1880s. [[First Nations in Alberta|Aboriginal Albertans]] make up approximately three percent of the population.
In the 2006 [[Census in Canada|Canadian census]], the most commonly reported ethnic origins among Albertans were: 885,825 English (27.2%); 679,705 German (20.9%); 667,405 Canadian (20.5%); 661,265 Scottish (20.3%); 539,160 Irish (16.6%); 388,210 French (11.9%); 332,180 Ukrainian (10.2%); 172,910 [[Dutch Canadians|Dutch]] (5.3%); 170,935 [[Polish Canadians|Polish]] (5.2%); 169,355 [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|North American Indian]] (5.2%); 144,585 [[Norwegians|Norwegian]] (4.4%); and 137,600 [[Chinese Canadians|Chinese]] (4.2%).
