Dai people of Xishuangbanna (Sip Song Pan Na) have similar culture to Thai, Lao, Shan and various Tai groups in Assam. I understand their languages. We’ve just celebrated the water splashing traditions during Tai New Year festivals in mid-April (called Sangkhan in Dai and Lao or Songkran in Thai). Among these 56 ethnic groups in China, Zhuang, Bouyei, Dong, Sui, Li, Gelao, Mulao and Maonan are linguistically related to Dai under Kra-Dai language family.

Nice compilation! For anyone passing by who may not be aware, and to help explain why some of those in the list may have two names, I'd like to point out that these are *government*-recognized ethnicities and thus there is sometimes controversy about the names used and how the people actually want to be classified. There may even be some disagreement among themselves, so there's A possibility (unknown to me) that some of these examples might not represent how *all* people in that ethnicity actually speak - again, emphasis on "might" since I don't actually remember a specific example, and I only know anecdotally but directly from some of those locals how the languages can differ between them - but you can see numbers can often be very similar. After all, I do think the government tried to keep people who are linguistically-close (at least) in the same group. But I am *no* expert and it seems Andy did a good job trying to cover multiple names when applicable! Btw, Andy, by any chance, are you aware of what might be a smaller group, part of the "various other," or maybe even one of these subgroups I'm alluding to that has numbers from 1-5 in a fun little pattern? I didn't see the whole video yet but I was so sure it was either Yi or Tujia or possibly Miao. A tour guide of one of those taught us 1-5, and I just managed to remember "nebu" and "rebu," maybe "sebu," so I think that -bu ending was the pattern. In your research or experience, did you ever run into this? I've forgotten and didn't find it by searching your video. Thanks!
True, because they are similar, the government put them into the same category, if the government choose to recognise them independently, there would've been 500-1000+ ethnic groups in China. For example, the Miao is actually a group of different types of Miao people. One famous one is the Hmong that are commonly found in China and Vietnam.
Actually the Han ethnicity itself has many languages or dialects that are completely unfamiliar to each other, at least in verbal sounds. Eg. Cantonese from HK and the Guangdong province which are not shown here, but by itself is recognised internationally as a language on its own. So actually China has many more ethnic languages, more than the 56 recognised by the Chinese Govt. Eg. Sherpas though a small group, is grouped together with the Tibetans.
The Tibetan,Hani, Jingpo, Jino & Lisu numbers are similar with our Thadou-Kuki Dialect of Kuki-Chin Language ie. 1(Khat),2(Ni),3(Thum),4(Li) 5(Nga) 6(Gup),7(Sagi),8(Get),9(Ko),10(Som). The sound of Jino is 90 same even though the writings are abit different.
There are more than 400 Native tribes and dialects in China, and it been simplified, categorized, and compressed to 56 tribes by similarities. But look like there are still more minorities that outside of those 56 tribes that probably will added in the future to the category.
Hui people's are muslims, they speak arabic. That might explain. Also a fun fact. Hui people are actually just Han Chinese. Its the name given to all the Han Chinese people that turned muslim.
Those numbers not come from Malay but their native number, the gaoshan language is under formosa branch language which under austronesia language family the same language with Malay language so them have similar number.
@@Qwerka Since both white, black, asian, latino, indigenous people are "American" since nationality? Then why cant we call a Turkic, Mongolic people with PRC nationality "Chinese"?
The Tajiks of China speak Sarikoli and Wakhi, Pamiri languages related to those in Badakhshan. While the PRC followed Soviet policy in officially designating Pamiris as Tajiks, I don't think they ever tried to establish Tajik Persian as an official language for them.
It's very normal because Salar people live in eastern Qinghai (formerly Gansu province) and they are definitely bilingual. They have intensive and extensive contact with ethnics groups around. Both the local Mandarin dialect and the Salar language are spoken by them and regarded as mother tongue.
This is going to be confusing, but the numbers in Miao in the video are spoken in the Bunu language which is a Hmongic language related to the Miao but its speakers are under the Yao ethnic group (I know right? Very confusing). A better representative of the Miao languages would be the Hmong language (Dananshan variety), the Hmu language, or the Xong language as these are the most spoken and most standard in China.
@@exoteeb9204 That's because She is a Hmong-Mien language too. But, it is a minority language within the She people only in Guangdong province. In other areas like the Fujian area, they spoke Shehua (a Sinitic language closely related or a sister language to Hakka).
@@exoteeb9204 She language is hard to classify within the Hmong-Mien family as part of the Hmongic branch or its own branch, but it's generally agree to be a bit more similar to the Hmongic branch than the Mienic branch.
A lot of the ethnic groups are lumped together into bigger groups even if people in those groups don't consider themselves part of the same group. Even arguably Han Chinese shouldn't be one group because the cultural, genetic, linguistic, and phenotypic difference between someone from Beijing and someone from Guangdong are very different and they don't have much in common at all.
@@tianming4964 I agree with you. Southeast Asian Chinese have a habit of referring to the sub-ethnicities as "tribes". We only have an overarching "Chinese" identity because of top-down policies
Han Chinese mainly speak Mandarin and are majorly live in the North Chinese varieties like Cantonese(Yue), Wu, Shanghainese and Hakka are not of Han Chinese and are from different ethnicities
Also with other ethnic groups such Tuvans which include as a Mongols in china or Aynu or Ili Turk just include to Uyghurs or Kazakh. I guess in China have more 100 ethnic groups
@@Kunta-Kinte002 Don't confuse broad national or cultural identity with regional ethnicity. For example, among francophones, they have different ethnics, and the situation of Sinophones is similar. Chinese people in different regions have obvious regional differences in language, culture and even blood characteristics. Han is a current ethnic classification in China, but it cannot accurately represent the actual situation in China. A similar situation exists for the Hui people. They are an official ethnic group based on religious definitions, but the Hui people in different regions also have different living habits. Sometimes They are even considered Han.
Also, ethnicity is not a scientific category but a subjective cognition. as if Occitanian thinks they are part of french, Poles, Serbians think they are part of slavs, then so Wu, Hakka and Min are.
@@wonquin well then how you gonna oppose those Wu/Yue/Min people on internet said Northerner are barbarian, they southerner are true Han descendent? If they identify themselves as Han then why your opinion matters?
here we go, using American political correctness to accuse other languages in other countries. You know there are more languages than just English in the world, right?
So called "Gaoshan" is actually Taiwanese Indigenous people, but Taiwan is actually not part of China. The Taiwanese Indigenous people aren't a group but a lots of different ethnicities.
