Emirati people or people of the United Arab Emirates (Arabic: إماراتي) are citizens and an ethnic group who share their culture, descent and the Arabic variety of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The largest concentration is in the UAE having a population of 990,000 being ethnic Emirati.
Many Emiratis, including those that compose the ruling dynasties of the emirates of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, trace their origins to the Bani Yas clan[citation needed]. However, people outside of the Bani Yas clan, such as Baluchis and immigrants from Iran's Bastak region, Oman, Yemen and Bahrain, have been gradually integrated into Emirati society. A tiny number of South Asian, African and people from other races have intermarried with Emiratis, thereby becoming non-Emirati UAE citizens.[citation needed]
Populations with Emirati ancestry, the result of emigration, also exist in other parts of the world, most notably in the Middle East, Europe and North America. Population estimates are seen to have a very small diaspora.
Come on baby, help me defend this gold
Come on baby, help me defend this gold
There's a band down in
Really, really rock and roll
Well the sun is shinin' on both sides of the street
Ahh, the sun is shinin' on both sides of the street
I got a smile on my face for every little girl I meet
Well my pocket's filled up to the top with dough
Yeah, my pocket's filled up to the top with dough
Well I'm all dressed up but ain't got no place to go
Got a brand new suit, a new pair of shoes
You can't lose, no? by you, baby
Help me defend this gold
