In general:
- Native is an adjective meaning "from birth", as in native language, native speaker. It is also a noun indicating a person who was born in a place or lived there for most of the person's childhood. When used as a noun to refer to a member of an indigenous ethnic group, it sometimes carries pejorative connotations.
- When linked to a place or nationality the term has ambiguity in English.
- Native literally denotes "having been born in" the place referred to. It usually implies residence in the area, at least in childhood, and familiarity or identification with the culture.
- However, native is also often used to mean "belonging to an ethnic group historically inhabiting that region at the time Western writers became acquainted with the region." In this sense it is synonymous with "indigenous", as in "Native American" or "First Nations".
- In linguistics and in common usage the term "native ___ speaker" describes that language as the speaker's primary language, or "mother tongue," as in "native English speaker." There is no ambiguity in this usage.
- In biology, native has two closely related meanings. The question "is it native?" refers to the here-and-now (unless specified) and means "this is not introduced, is it?" (its opposites include alien, adventive, introduced and invasive). In descriptions, the phrase "native to" will delimit the area or region of its natural occurrence, which will be a relatively small area. Closely related are indigenous and endemic.
