Some areas of the southwestern People's Republic of China are inhabited by an indigenous population of ethnic Vietnamese people (or "Kinh"). They are referred to in Chinese as the Jīng (京族; pinyin: Jīngzú); "Kinh" is often spelled "Gin" in Chinese government publicationsFact|date=December 2007. They form one of the 56 ethnic groups officially recognized by the People's Republic of China. They speak Vietnamese, mixed with Cantonese dialect, and some Mandarin. They mainly live on 3 islands off the coast of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The population of the Vietnamese indigenous to China was just over 20,000 in 2000. This number does not include ethnic Vietnamese nationals from Vietnam studying or working in China.
