Vietnam is a multiethnic country with 54 ethnic groups. The Viet (Kinh) people
account for 87% of the country’s population and mainly inhabit the Red River delta, the
central coastal delta, the Mekong delta and major cities. The other 53 ethnic minority groups,
totaling over 8 million people, are scattered over mountain areas spreading from the North to
the South. Among ethnic minorities, the most populated are Tay, Thai, Muong, Hoa, Khmer,
Nung... with a population of around 1 million each; while the least populated are Brau,
Roman, Odu with several hundred people each.
The main economic activity of most ethnic peoples is wet rice cultivation. A number of
