Lithuanian Uruguayans

A Lithuanian Uruguayan is a Uruguayan citizen who is fully or partially of Lithuanian descent.

Lithuanians migrated to Uruguay mostly during the 1920s and 1930s; they eventually reached the 10,000-people-mark. They established their own institutions, such as the Uruguay-Lithuania Cultural Association^[1] and several Lithuanian-language newspapers, notably Naujoji Banga.

There is also a small Lithuanian Jewish community in Montevideo.^[2]

The 2011 Uruguayan census revealed 104 people who declared Lithuania as their country of birth.^[3]
