What nationality do the Hakkas belong to and where are their ancestors?

Hakka, also known as Hakka clan, is a special clan with remarkable characteristics among the Han nationality and ethnic minorities in mountainous areas, and it is also one of the clans with wide distribution and far-reaching influence in the world since modern times. Hakka originated in Rongbaiyue period in Lingnan, Qin Zheng, and experienced Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasties. Because of the war and other reasons, they gradually moved to the south of the Yangtze River, and then moved to the border of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi, and merged with the She nationality. At the latest, a relatively stable Hakka ethnic group-Hakkas in the Song and Ming Dynasties was formed.

In the early years of Qing Dynasty, Hakkas migrated from the border area of Fujian and Guangdong with Meizhou as the center to southern provinces, even Southeast Asia and other parts of the world, and eventually became an important ethnic group with unique humanities all over the world. According to the estimation of relevant scholars, there are about 20 million Hakkas in the world.

Among them, about 10 million people are distributed in Guangdong, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangxi, Sichuan, Hunan, Hainan, Zhejiang and other provinces (cities, autonomous regions) 10 counties (cities) in Chinese mainland. The number of local Hakkas in Guangdong Province has reached about 8 million, accounting for one-eighth of the local ethnic groups in Guangdong.

About 6,543,800+people are distributed in Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province Province, and about 5 million people are distributed in more than 80 countries and regions except China (which originated from the Hakka movement to South Asia hundreds of years ago). Hakka dialect is also an important part of the local language.
