'''Canarian Americans''' are [[Americans]] with ancestry that can be traced back to settlers and emigrants from the [[Canary Islands]] (Spain). Most them are descendant of settlers who emigrated to the [[Spain|Spanish]] colonies of the [[Southern United States]] during the 18th century.
The Canarian Americans make up several communities formed by thousands of people in [[San Antonio, Texas|San Antonio (Texas)]] and [[Louisiana]], to which other Canarian communities of more recent migration are added (particularly in [[Miami]]). These communities constitute a distinct group within the American population, having preserved the culture of their ancestors through to the present date. Most Canarian Americans speak English, with smaller communities that are also fluent in French (in Valenzuela, Louisiana), [[Nahuatl]] (in [[Galvez, Louisiana|Galveztown]], Louisiana), and Spanish. In particular, some members of the Isleño community of [[Saint Bernard Parish]] in Louisiana have not only managed to preserve their culture (as the Isleños of San Antonio), but had also retained until recently the [[Canarian dialect]] of Spanish used in the 18th century.
