[edit] Hanzi

What are the Chinese characters for Utsul? I can't find it online. Badagnani 07:43, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Best translation is probably "海南回族", which is pretty bad, literally means Hainan Hui people. --Voidvector (talk) 09:17, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, what's your source for this? Is there no transliteration of the word "Utsul"? Badagnani (talk) 17:12, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why Hui?

Why are the Utsul classified as Hui? Are they Muslim, like many Cham? Badagnani 07:43, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

The Chinese government classifies them as Hui for classification purposes since the Chinese officially recognizes 56 ethnic groups. Abstrakt 06:35, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah probably because they're Muslim. Who knows why the Chinese government classifies ethnic groups the way they do, when it comes to the smaller groups. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 18:23, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Etymology

Is this group related to the Hutsuls? Badagnani (talk) 19:18, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
