Uruguayan Chileans (Spanish: Uruguayos Chilenos) are people born in Uruguay who live in Chile, or Chilean-born people of Uruguayan descent.
Many Uruguayan-born people live in Chile, for a number of reasons. Both countries share the Spanish language; the historical origins of both nations is common (part of the Spanish Empire until the early 19th century); Chile has a bigger, more diverse economy, which attracted Uruguayans in search of opportunities; the relative geographical vicinity (Southern Cone) also helps.
Modern estimates put the figure of Uruguayans in Chile at over 9,000. [2]
Uruguayan residents in Chile have their own institutions, for instance, the Consultative Council in Santiago. [3]
