[edit] Hani, "Ahka" ... and Hakka?

Are you sure, Hottentot, that the Hani are also called "Ahka" and "Hakka"? (see also Ethnologue on the Hani language) The Akha and several other groups are officially classified as part of the Hani nationality in China. I'm not sure which group you mean by Hakka - maybe you're confusing them with the Hakka or Kejia 客家 who are Han, speakers of the Hakka dialect of Chinese. Babelfisch 02:47, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

My source is from the Paul Noll Chinese Minorities page, specificially the section called Alternate Minority Spellings in China. ---Hottentot

[edit] Geiju

I thought the capital of Yuanjiang county was Yuanjiang town. Is that true? What is Geiju? Babelfisch 02:07, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Akha and Hakka

[edit] Akha

The Akha (阿咔) are a distinct group that are spread from southern Yunnan to northern Thailand. They are related or associated with the Hani. In China, the Akha are considered a subgroup of the Hani, but are designated as their own ethnic group outside of China. Check Jim Goodman's "The Exploration of Yunnan" (Yunnan People's Publishing House) and "Meet the Akha" (Teak House) for more on both of them.

[edit] Gejiu and Yuanjiang

Yuanjiang is the capital of Yuanjiang County, as Gejiu is the capital of Gejiu County. Gejiu is a Chinese (Han) tin mining town also in Honghe Prefecture, but there are many "minorities" to be found in the surrounding county.
