Talk:Vietnamese people

Please change

"The Vietnamese people (Vietnamese: người Việt, lit. 'Viet people') or Kinh people (Vietnamese: người Kinh) are a Southeast Asian ethnic group originally native to modern-day Northern Vietnam and Southern China. The native language is Vietnamese, the most widely spoken Austroasiatic language. Its vocabulary was influenced by Chinese early on. During the French colonial era, French was an official language in Vietnam. Afterwards, the Vietnamese language codified in the Latin alphabet emerged. Vietnamese Kinh people account for just over 85.32% of the population of Vietnam in the 2019 census, and are officially known as Kinh people (người Kinh) to distinguish them from the other minority groups residing in the country such as the Hmong, Cham or Muong. The Vietnamese are one of the four main groups of Vietic speakers in Vietnam, the others being the Muong, Thổ and Chứt people. They are related to the Gin or the Jing people, a Vietnamese ethnic group in China."

Remove/alter the genetics part of the article

There are several changes I want to request and this will involve a consensus first, but most of it will involve deletion rather then changing it. First of all, the "DNA and genetics analysis" component of the article is excessive and creepy. Most of it should be removed, especially the excessive and creepy genetics data that tells zero conclusions, such as the "Genome Sequencing" section, which is just a chockful of unreadable data and numbers that don't belong on Wikipedia, but on an Excel sheet. Second of all, the number of Vietnamese people derived from the illegal practice of "selling" Vietnamese women to failed Taiwanese men and failed South Korean men should be removed. The number of Vietnamese people should be altered to reflect Vietnamese people who are legally there (workers and students for example) and not from the illegal selling of Vietnamese women. Wikipedians may think Taiwan is a country but Taiwan belongs with Mainland China. It should reflect the reality that in fact, South Korea and Taiwan are oppressing the Vietnamese. 203.166.241.41 (talk) 00:00, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Okay I will remove the edit request and then wait for consensus and put that edit request back in or someone with necessary privileges can change it for me. Thank you for your time. 203.166.241.41 (talk) 00:27, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Vietnamese is the name for all ethics in Vietnam. The Vietnamese in this page only included the Kinh people, the most populated ethic race in Vietnam. I wish to give more details about the Vietnamese people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LordChimera (talk • contribs) 12:32, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

in the sentence: Any attempt of identify an ethnic group in ancient Vietnam is problematic and inaccurate.[90]

The article name should be changed to either Ethnic Vietnamese or Kinh people

Per Vietnamese government officials–Vietnamese people are citizens of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam–while the ethnic Vietnamese are official recognized as "ethnic Kinh" but not "Vietnamese" which reserved for all people of Vietnam. (Dân tộc Kinh (nhandan.vn)). Origins and the usage of the ethnonym Kinh as discussed in the article were much older, pervasive, and deep-rooted in medieval history.

- Change to Ethnic Vietnamese helps readers to acknowledge the cultural and ethnic diversity of Vietnam, to ease recognition of the difference between Vietnamese people and ethnic Vietnamese/Kinh; and to avoid the fallacious lumping of other identities into one.

- Change to Kinh people further conforms with official government usage and helps readers to gain acquaintance. 2601:207:200:464D:6451:CCF5:7D29:44BB (talk) 22:47, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
