Many local ethnic groups and Malays influenced by Minnan people also use Minnan language.

The word Minnan dialect was put forward by Fujian dialect experts in the second half of the 20th century. Prior to this, when Minnan people migrated to other places, they all called themselves Fujian people. As a specific culture, Minnan has a far-reaching influence. Minnan is also used in places influenced by other dialects, and they also have the same cultural customs, so they also belong to the root of Minnan.

Fujian is called Fujian for short, and Minnan language refers to the south of Fujian. Minnan culture and Hakka culture belong to two completely different cultures. There are many similarities in folk beliefs between South Fujian and Southeast Asia, such as Mazu, Guandi, Baosheng Emperor and Zhang Kai Wang Sheng, among which Mazu belief is the most popular.

Mazu belief, which originated in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, has formed a Mazu belief circle on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and its surrounding areas after several migrations. Mazu Tempel incense in Tianhou Temple in Quanzhou is flourishing, and a large number of overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia come to pay homage every year. There are hundreds of Mazu Tempel scattered from Fujian to Taiwan Province Province and Southeast Asia.
