Yunnan is a microcosm of China in the areas of minority affairs and nationality relations. The province has 25 minority groups, nearly half of the country’s total (56 ethnic groups). Over 12 million of the people belong to one branch or another of these minority nationalities. The majority are Tibet-Burman peoples, such as the Yi, Hans, Naxi, Jingpo, Tibetan, Lahu, Lisu, etc. The Dai and Zhuang peoples inhabit the south, while the Miao and Yao the southeast hills. Wa and Bulang-Mon-Khmer people take the southern jungles. The Bai live in the old Nanzhao domain, while the Hui inhabit various parts of the province. Some Mongols occupy a few villages near Tonghai in central Yunnan.
