Vietnam travel - closely to Vietnam People

Submitted by Shecy Pearl Jewelry
Wed, 9 Sep 2009

Vietnamese Ethnic Groups:

The country is predominantly 85-90 Chinese, ethnic minorities include Muong, Thai, Meo, Khmer, Man, Cham, and other mountain tribes.
Vietnamese Languages:

Vietnamese is the official language; French, Chinese, English, Khmer and tribal dialects (Mon- Khmer and Malayo- Polynesian) are also spoken.
Vietnamese Religion:

Buddhist, Confucian, Taoist, Roman Catholic, indigenous beliefs, Islamic and Protestant.
The Vietnam people are an ethnic group originating from what is now northern Vietnam and southern China. They are the majority ethnic group of Vietnam, comprising 86 of the country's population; the remaining 12% is split among 54 ethnic minority groups. The Kinh originated in latter-day northern Vietnam and southern China, gradually spreading southward. The high degree of Chinese influence in facets of Vietnamese culture, especially religion, is due in large part to the Kinh's Chinese origins. With a largely urban and lowland population, Vietnam's largest minority group, the Hoa, is also ethnic Han Chinese.
Many of the 54 minority ethnic groups are living in villages largely untouched by modern civilization. They are adhering to traditional conservative ways of life that are economically dependent on agriculture. Those with communities in the central or northwestern highlands are commonly known by the English term "hill tribes". They frequently speak a different language instead of or in addition to Vietnamese.
Among them, larger groups in the north include the Tay, Muong, and Thai, part of a Malay ethnolinguistic group. Other major northern groups, including the Hmong, Dao and Nung have roots in southern China, having migrated to Vietnam as recently as the 19th century. In the central highlands, the largest groups are the Mnong, Ede and Banar.
The Khmer and Cham make up another class of minority groups. Khmer are ethnic Cambodians indigenous to Vietnam's Mekong Delta region, which they controlled until the late 19th century. Cham are native to the central coast of Vietnam, descendants of the Champa kingdom conquered by Kinh from the north in the 15th century.
The Vietnamese have a strong sense of family, and of community, and are accustomed to close human contact and far- reaching interrelationships. This might be one of the reasons why, despite centuries of occupation by foreigners, Vietnamese cultural traditions have survived.
