Removed comment on PRC histiography. Unless I'm mistaken, the PRC official histories don't deny the diverse origins of the Hui.

[edit] Move proposal
Jiang has proposed that we move this article from "Hui Chinese" to Hui because the only parallels of "Hui Chinese" are:
- "Han Chinese", which has to have a second word attached to "Han" because Han is a disambiguation page.
- "Li Chinese", disambiguate from Li the surname.
However, Hui has no other significant encyclopedic entries by the same title -- A situation similar to the Manchus, Zhuang, Miao, Tujia, Dai, Wa, Naxi, Xibe, and Lhoba.
A second reason behind the move is that Hui Chinese is actually a dialect-language of the Chinese language(s) commonly spoken in Anhui.
Any comment?

- User:Roadrunner said on my Talk just now that he doesn't see any large political issue in either case. --Menchi 20:40 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Jiang has made the essential changes. --Menchi 04:08 8 Jul 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Another Move Proposal
I propose that this page be moved from Hui to Hui (ethnic group), and that Hui be made into a disambiguation page that points to, among other things, the Hui (ethnic group), Hui (linguistics) (Chinese dialects), Hui County, Gansu, Hui County, Henan, among others. -- [[User:Ran|ran (talk)]] 21:26, Oct 14, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Uyghurs and Huis
Were the Uyghurs and Huis differentiated in Dr Sun Yat-sen's idea of five nationalities?
Please reply at Talk:Uyghur#Uyghurs_and_Huis, thanks. — Instantnood 08:22, January 27, 2004, UTC
[edit] Characters?
What's the simplified and traditional characters to go with 'qingzhen si' (mosque)? My Chinese is terrible, so I don't know, but I think it'd be a small (but good) improvement. Kawa 20:49, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Population
Why is the population of Hui not listed in the article? Badagnani 07:04, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Utsuls
I edited this passage: "Included with Hui Chinese are other Islamic Chinese who are dissimilar to Han Chinese but do not have their own ethnic group, such as several thousand Utsuls in southern Hainan province who still speak an Austronesian language (Tsat) related to that of the Cham Muslim minority of Vietnam and are said to be the descendants of Chams who migrated to Hainan." This was an extremely Chinese-government-oriented phrasing. To say that the Utsuls don't have their own ethnic group is nonsense; everyone has an ethnic group. What we mean to say here is that the government doesn't recognise Utsul as one of the official 56 ethnic groups, so they lump them in with the Hui for bureaucratic purposes. - Nat Krause(Talk!) 19:18, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Zheng He
A few questions concerning Zheng He: 1. Is there any evidence that he was considered a Hui, or just that he might be considered a Hui by today's criteria (because, among other things, he was Muslim)? 2. Is Zheng really a common Hui surname? In Zheng He's case, he was given the surname as a reward, his original surname was Ma.Uly 13:21, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
