Racial classification of all nationalities in the world

There are many classifications about the nationalities in the world: some are based on distribution areas, some are based on national characteristics, and some are based on economic, cultural or linguistic affiliation. In the world, the classification of language pedigree is the standard.

According to the research of most linguists at home and abroad, the languages in the world belong to 17 family. Among them: ① there are 10 unique language families in one continent: there is one in America, that is, Indian language family; There are two in Oceania, namely Australian and Papua; Three in Africa, namely, Nile-Sahara language family, Niger-Kordofan language family and Khoisan language family; There are four Asian languages, namely Sino-Tibetan, South Asian, Dravidian and quaint. (2) There are seven language families that cross the border between the two continents: Asia and America, namely Eskimo-Aleutian language family; Asia, the big one, is Austronesian; There is one Semitic language family in Asia and Africa, and four Indo-European, Caucasian, Ural and Altaic languages in Asia and Europe. This was before the "great geographical discovery". With the spread of modern immigrants, the language distribution has also changed greatly. Today, the residents living in Oceania are mainly immigrants from Europe, America and Asia and their descendants, accounting for about two-thirds of the population in the region. Most of the aborigines in Oceania are Australians and mixed-race people. Most of its languages belong to Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia, and a few belong to Australian and Papua. Australian aborigines mainly live in Western Australia, Queensland and northern Australia, and some of them have been driven to deserts and reservations. Their language has no obvious kinship with any other language in the world. All ethnic groups in Papua are distributed in New Guinea and nearby islands. Polynesian ethnic groups are distributed in the East Pacific, mainly Hawaiian, Tongan, Tahiti and Samoan, as well as Maori in New Zealand. Melanesian ethnic groups are mainly distributed in the vast area from southeastern New Guinea to western Fiji, including Fijians, Solomon, Vanuatu and New Caledonians. All ethnic groups in Micronesia are located in northern Oceania, including Nauru, Ying Cha, Caroline, Marshall and Gilbert. Today, the vast majority of residents in Australia and New Zealand are immigrants from England, Ireland and Scotland and their descendants. Most of the residents of the Hawaiian Islands are immigrants from the United States and Japan and their descendants. Almost half of Fijians are descendants of Indian immigrants. In New Caledonia, there are many French people and their descendants mixed with local aborigines. In addition, there are some China people, Filipinos, Javanese Asian immigrants and their descendants living in Oceania.
