diaspora (plural diasporas or diasporae or diasporai)

1. (historical) The dispersion of the Jews among the Gentiles after the Babylonian captivity (6th century BCE).
2. (by extension) Any similar dispersion.

   The African diaspora caused a melding of cultures, both African cultures and Western ones, in many places.

3. (collective) A group so dispersed, especially Jews outside of the land of Israel.
4. The regions where such a dispersed group (especially the Jews) resides, taken collectively.

   Jews in the diaspora often have a different perspective on anti-Semitism from Israeli Jews.

5. Any dispersion of an originally homogeneous entity, such as a language or culture.
