As you can see, China is a diverse country full of different ethnicities...

China has some other unclassified or unspecified Nationalities numbering some 1,072,642 people. In the 1953 census 41 minority nationalities were specified. In the 1964 census, there were 183 nationalities registered, among which the government recognized only 54. Of the remaining 129 nationalities, 74 were considered to be part of the officially recognized 54, while 23 were classified as "other nationalities" and the remaining 32 were classified as "indeterminate."

this was during 1995, so the population number might have been increase.....

Did you know, the HAN, about 20% to 40% of their people are not really HAN, I discovered that many other ethnics classified or resgister under as HAN is not really HAN, it is because the Chinese Gov't did not recognized them.... I also believe that many of the Chinese ethnicities have been intermarriage with each other... in that case, many have considered that they cannot classified as two race, so instead, they registered as HAN!

I am kind of confuse, some groups of the Miao or Hmong ethnic speak the Iu-Mien [YAO] language in China, some Miao speak the Dong language and some Miao speak Mandarin-Chinese. Some Yao in China speak the Miao language and some speak Mandarin-Chinese.....

The two closest ethnics that are related to the Miao ethnic is the Yao and She....all because our languages are closely similar...but are quite different....

In another case, I discoverd that long ago in China, the Han classified all other ethnic minorities as the Miao people, until after the 20 century that the government now regconized them as different tribal people... I now realized that the term "Miao" is used to classified Non-Han... which I believed the term Miao is pointed directly to the Miao as babarian.....

Hmong people classified themselves as Hmong, but the Miao classified themselves as Miao... the term "Miao" is only a Chinese word, I believe the Miao people have lost the original name of their people which they adopted the term "Miao"  to regconized them as an ethnic....

it is very confusing after i discovered many theory and question about my ancestor, but as now, I considered to be called as a Hmong, even those in China, but it really depend because people like to be called in certain name....

Wrong. Hmong people are not a 'race'. There are only 3 races in the world, the Caucasoid, Mongoloid and Negroid. What you meant was the term 'ethnicity'.

Cheers.

   Yes, 20% to 40%, maybe more. They registered as Han for convenience,that will reduce many cockamamies. But some do like to regsister as minority ethnics thus could get more additonal special treatments such as  enter unversities with lower scores than Han or get employed easier.

Where did the Han people come from?

Are they related to Mongolians or Altaic ethno linguistic group?

i know that they belong in the Sino-Tibetan group but they look more like Mongolians to me.

and I heard that there are two different types of Han.
Han of North and Han of South.

   In mythology, Huangdi was Qiang ethnic, Yandi and Chiyou were Miao ethnic.

   Actually, in very ancient time, there was no Tibetan ethnic, they were all Qiang ethnic and later deseperate into Tibetan and Qiang.

   Han contains many ethnics , even white , jewrish, turkic, arabic .

   North han and south han are not different types, they have obvious  face look due to envionment, food, and weather and many other factors.
