Nationality

The English word “nationality” is not used very often in everyday conversation . It is a more formal word that is more often seen in written form in documents related to immigration or tourism. Almost no one will ask “What is your nationality” in a normal conversation. Instead, you might hear “Where are you from?” or “Where do you come from?” You can answer this way: “I’m (Ukrainian, American, Mexican, etc.) .” Or: “I am from (Ukraine, America, Poland, etc.) .” Today we invite you to learn the names of nationalities in English, as well as the countries they originate and the language that is spoken there. Expanding your vocabulary is a beneficial and interesting thing to do, as it will help you express yourself, solve problems, and increase your overall knowledge of the language.

Possession of a nationality carries with it the diplomatic protection of the country of nationality and is also often a legal or practical requirement for the exercise of fundamental rights. Consequently, the right to a nationality has been described as the “right to have rights.” See , 356 U.S. 86, 101–02 (1958). Individuals who lack a nationality or an effective citizenship are therefore among the world’s most vulnerable to human rights violations. In recognition of the importance of having a nationality, a number of regional and international human rights instruments include the right to a nationality. Article 15 of the See also art. 20. The right to a nationality is often articulated through protection of the rights of children and the principle of non-discrimination. For example, Article 7 of the Article 5 of the Despite recognition of the right to a nationality, there are currently at least 10 million people who do not have a nationality and are therefore stateless. See UNHCR, See UNHCR & Asylum Aid, Mapping Statelessness in the United Kingdom(2011), at 22.

Updated: 2019-03-31 As a traveler, I’m often approached by people. These people ask me questions like these: Where are you from? What’s your ethnicity? What’s your race? What’s your background? All interchangeably to imply the same question. As a staunch champion of promoting intercultural love, I feel compelled to get it right first myself. Only then can I help others understand the nuances in their meaning, such as the difference between race and ethnicity. I’ve been guilty of doing the same in the past, using a phrase like where are you from? to ask about one’s heritage. However, where someone is fromsemantically refers to nationality. An even worse question to ask is what are you? This borders on a cornucopia of possible rights’ violations and indignities, unless you’re from What’re you? Some kind o’ lawyer?). Anyway— Ethnicity. Nationality. Race. Identity. Culture. Heritage. Let’s enrich ourselves by understanding the true meanings of these terms. First up, it’s the most-asked of them all, the difference of race vs ethnicity: What is Ethnicity? Ethnicity is based on a group (called an ethnic group) that normally has similar traits, such as a common language, common heritage, and cultural similarities within the group. Other variables that play a role in ethnicity, though not in all cases, include a geographical connection to a particular place, common foods and diets, and perhaps a common faith. Ethnic groups can further be narrowed down to ethnic subgroups. Common et...

8. What if I Lost My Naturalization Certificate? Difference between Citizenship vs. Nationality The word nationality refers to where you are born. A country’s government grants citizenship when specific legal requirements are met. Citizenship can be seen as a political status because it indicates which country recognizes you as a citizen. Nationality has more to do with the relationship between you and your place of birth and can often be seen as ethnic or racially related. Citizenship can fluctuate since you can be a citizen of multiple places simultaneously and can also renounce your citizenship to a country. On the other hand, you cannot change nationality because it’s innate. In the United States, people born in the country are citizens. The All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” U.S. National vs. U.S. Citizen When it comes to the United States, U.S. citizens are U.S. nationals. Still, not all U.S. nationals are U.S. citizens since U.S. law states a national as “a person owing permanent allegiance to a state” and having “an outlying possession to the United States.” The best example is U.S. nationals from American Samoa and the Swains Island (part of American Samoa) and individuals born outside of the United States to two U.S. national parents. Likewise, a person born outside of the U.S. to one U.S. national parent and one alien parent. A U.S....
