TheNgái (Vietnamese:Người Ngái;chữ Nôm:𠊛𠊎) are an ethnic community found inVietnam and other parts ofIndochina, largely descended from theHakka people ofsouthern China.[4] The Vietnamese government classifies the Ngai distinctly from theCantonese people when considering ethnic minority groups. The term "Ngai" comes from theHakka Chinesefirst person pronoun "ngai" (𠊎, "I / me"), and some Ngai use theendonym "San Ngai" (山𠊎, "mountain [-dwelling] Ngai").[5]
The Ngái people speak the Hakka language, aSinitic language but are classified separately from theHoa or urban ethnic "Overseas Chinese" by the Vietnamese government as they have been living in the modern-day lands of Vietnam for centuries. The Ngái population was 4,841 in 1999[1] but down only 1,035 in 2009 and up to 1,649 in 2019.[2][6][3]
