  • Les Melungeons sont une ancienne communauté métissée vivant initialement dans l'est du Tennessee, la Virginie-Occidentale, l'est du Kentucky et la Caroline du Nord depuis au moins 200 ans et peut-être depuis plus longtemps. On estime la population à 4 millions, mais beaucoup de personnes d'ascendance melungeon sont susceptibles d'ignorer leurs origines, ou de les cacher en raison du racisme hérité de la ségrégation raciale.

  • Меланджен (англ. Melungeon, məˈlʌndʒən) — термин, обозначающий в США потомков от смешанных браков представителей трёх рас — белой, негроидной и американоидной. В более узком смысле термин относится к потомкам от таких браков, проживающим на юго-востоке США, в основном в центральных Аппалачах — восток Теннеси, юго-запад Виргинии, восток Кентукки. (ru)
  • Melungeon es un término aplicado tradicionalmente a uno de varios grupos de "tri-raciales aislados", (el término tri-racial en Latinoamérica es llamado pardo aunque sus rasgos son algo diferentes) del sudeste de Estados Unidos, principalmente en el área del Desfiladero de Cumberland de los Apalaches centrales, que incluyen partes del este de Tennessee, suroeste de Virginia y el este de Kentucky. Tri-racial describe a las poblaciones que parecen ser mezcla de europeos, africanos subsaharianos y de ascendencia amerindia. Aunque no existe un consenso sobre cuántos de esos grupos existen, las estimaciones oscilan hasta 200.​​ (es)
  • Die Melungeons sind verschiedene sogenannte tri-racial isolated (dt. isolierte tri-ethnische) Gruppen, die im Südosten der Vereinigten Staaten leben. Historisch sind sie insbesondere mit der Region um das Cumberland Gap in den Appalachen verbunden, dies schließt Gebiete Ost-Tennessees, dem südwestlichen Virginia und dem östlichen Kentucky ein. Die Melungeons stammen in der Regel von Europäern, Afroamerikanern und nordamerikanischen Indianern ab. Es ist unklar, wie viele dieser isolierten Gruppen existieren, manche Schätzungen gehen von bis zu 200 aus. (de)
  • Melungeon è il nome dato ad una popolazione del sud-est degli Stati Uniti, situata tra Tennessee orientale, Kentucky, Virginia e Carolina del Nord. È una popolazione dalla pelle a volte scura, con lineamenti caucasoidi; alcuni individui presentano anche la plica mongolica agli occhi. Molto probabilmente discendono da colonizzatori spagnoli e portoghesi che si mescolarono a tribù di nativi, con un possibile contributo di schiavi mori e turchi. I melungeon vengono citati anche nel romanzo Ceneri di Kathy Reichs (Rizzoli, 2003). (it)
  • Melungos (em inglês: Melungeon) é um termo tradicionalmente aplicado a um dos vários grupos étnicos trirraciais - taxados, pelos estadunidenses, como "isolados"- do sudeste dos Estados Unidos. Nomeadamente há nas montanhas dos Apalaches muitos indivíduos que há mais de 300 anos se autointitulam "portugee", e muitos melungos acreditavam que eram descendentes de portugueses. (pt)
