Sino-Seychellois
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sino-Seychellois are Overseas Chinese who reside in the Seychelles. They came to the Seychelles as skilled labor after Indian emigration came to a standstill.
Most were Hakka with small Hokkien, Cantonese and Mandarin speaking populations. Today most speak Creole and French, with some still speaking Cantonese, Hakka and Mandarin. Few speak English.
Sino-Mauritians today are mostly employed in the business and tourism sectors of the Seychelles.
The majority are Christian, but there are also Buddhists and non-religious populations. There are only two Buddhist pagodas in the Seychelles, both on Mahé.
