About the usage of "Hui" and "Dungan", here's an excerpt from the Hui people article:

Huis anywhere are referred to by Central Asian Turks and Tajiks as Dungans, even though Western academia only recognizes one Hui group, that of Kyrgyzstan, as Dungan.

Ah, sorry, I just borrowed the terminology used by my source. This is coming from a Western academic source, but I'm assuming the former meaning Hui people is actually the intended one, since they are identified as coming from Gansu. I'll correct that in the next edit. Nevermind, I see you already did. --MC MasterChef 02:18, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
