There are both Wu-Yue and Ou-Yue in the list. Is not it a mistake? -- Gregean 10:34, 19 June 2006

[edit] Unreferenced and dubious statements?

A lot of weasel words ("Some might consider...") in this article; no references. The stuff about one term being used in mainland China and another in Taiwan is unreferenced. Problems with the list, as pointed out above. What on earth is Ou-Yue anyway? Also needs Chinese characters. Wuyue is a defunct state from 1000 years ago. I've never heard it being used to reference a distinct ethnic subgroup. --Sumple (Talk) 07:46, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Wuyue is linked to Jiangnan (Yangtze delta region) which is definitely a subgroup of Chinese.


[edit] this article really needs to be redone

This seems to just list a bunch of regions in China, with only a few actual peoples with Wikipedia articles. Can anyone with expertise on the subject comment? Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 04:09, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I changed it to add only ethnic groups with articles. Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 23:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hoklo vs Min vs Fujianese

Are they all synonymous, or is one a subgroup of the other? Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 23:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
