Where do the Hakkas come from?

Hakka, a Han nationality whose mother tongue is Hakka, is one of the aborigines in Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi and Taiwan Province provinces in southern China. The word Hakka originated from the appellation of western Guangdong people to immigrants from Hui, Chao, Jia, Ting and Jiangxi in the early Qing Dynasty (who were already indigenous in the border areas of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi at that time). Hakka, as an immigrant group of ancient Han nationality in southern China, is one of the most influential nationalities in the world.
