We know the Numenoreans in Umbar assimilated and disappeared, it was directly stated several times.

But in all seriousness, let me release all my Umbar/Black Numenorean lore on you guys gained through being a black numenorean on every TA server possible, feeling stupid, then searching the internet for hours at a time: Te black Numenoreans were also called the Kings Men, a sect of Numenor which rejected the elves, being jealous of their ability to live indefinitely. This resulted in the transfer of the Kings title from Tar (being an elven word) to Ar. This also resulted in the Numenoreans that were loyal to the king to start practicing black magic trying to find a way to live forever. This was all in vain of course as men never lived longer (They may have but Tolkien never eluded to them succeeding.) During this time the ones who remained loyal to the elves or the faithful were persecuted across Numenor, so they fled to Gondor and Arnor, while many of the Black Numenoreans/Kings Men traveled to Umbar, which by the end of the Second Age was a massive colony. And as High King Ithilion stated they did slightly assimilate however, the Black Numenoreans and their descendants usually held higher places in the government being much wealthier than the rest of the people. To address the Dark Land theory, it was stated that Numenoreans sailed to every place on the face of Arda, meaning that they very well could have established a colony on the Dark Lands. And please don't say that there's a difference between Black Numenoreans and Kings Men because the difference is miniscule.
