You mean ethnic group? In sociology membership of particular ethnic group tends to be defined by shared cultural heritage such as language, dialect, accent, traditions, habits, cuisine. Basically if some group of people feel themselves to be different to others on basis of above listed things among others, then they are an ethnic group.
If European countries can have their ethnic groups which are part of bigger nation, so can american countries. I think 400, 500 hundred is enough to establish their own ethnic groups defined by those traits listed above.

In the western parts of Bulgaria, "shopi" are considered Macedonians by the Macedonians at least lol, most bulgarians will disagree yet the language is closer to what they sound like in Macedonia.
Colombia's varied topography has caused regional isolation for centuries therefore the regions feel like different countries. It's one of the few countries in the world that doesn't divide its people/cultures into Northern or Southern, Eastern or Western, NorthEast, SouthWest, etc. - you get the point. Instead you're Pacific Coaster, Amazonian, Caribbean, Llanero (Cowboys from the Savanna), Andean (from such [insert name] valley or such [insert name] range), Guajiro (desert people), etc. The labels are strongly tied to the geographical biomes rather than simple location labels.
Combine this with 89 different Indigenous and Afro-descended "nation" tribes and this adds a completely different level of ethnic/regional identity with 67 official languages and 2 creole languages.

Black American culture can be different in many ways. The dialect certainly is, not to mention that most foreign born non Whites seem to assimilate better into the dominant European culture of this country than do most native born Blacks. It is true that the racial division of the US has a lot to do with this.
Assyrians of Iraqi and Syria (who are an ethnic minority of those countries, distinct from Arabs, Turks and Kurds). They are proud to be Assyrians, but would still consider themselves Iraqi or Syrian in many cases.
-Bavarians in Germany. Speak different language yet consider themselves to be germans.
-Sicilians in Italy
-Galicians in Spain. Catalans and Basque people do not consider themselves to be spaniards.
-cossacks in Russia.
-Alsatians in France.
Examples in Americas.
-Texans in United States
-Quebecois in Canada
-Paisa in Colombia
What are the groups in your countries or the countries that you visited that have the strongest ethnic, regional identity yet still consider themselves to be part of a bigger nation?

Yea but also they largely dress differently, eat different food and with different frequency, largely listen to different music and watch different television and movies. Different familial structure (matriarchal rather than patriarchal), have kids at an earlier age. Much lower levels of education. More urban. Different cultural capital (Atlanta)There a reason it's called "Black America"

Belgium and Switzerland
Such incredible variety in such a micro size. Relatively, at least. Wallonia, and Flanders respectively, first. For the second, the names aren't really corresponding to reality that well. Except for Lombard, and Romandy. Why is Switzerland having aptly poor labeling to that compared to Belgium?
Native language is one of the top calls of reasoning for why there are degrees of separation deep down. Although, because the countries aren't that massive, that really is improving the identity to remain. And not cause any strong separatist revolutions.
