The Hui people are a Chinese ethnic group, typically distinguished by their practice of Islam. In modern People's Republic of China, the term Hui people refers to one of the officially recognized 56 ethnic groups into which Chinese citizens are classified. Under this definition, the Hui people are defined to include all historically Muslim communities in People's Republic of China that are not included into China's other ethnic groups.Since China's Muslims speaking various Turkic, Mongolian, or Iranian languages are all included into those other groups, the officially recognized Hui ethnic group consists predominantly of Chinese speakers.In fact, the Hui nationality is unique among China's officially recognized ethnic minorities in that it does not have any particular non-Chinese language associated with it.
