The Zhuang Name: Zhuang, Tong Population: 17,000,000 Localization: Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Yunnan province (Wenshan Zhuang Autonomous Prefecture) |
"The Zhuang are a group of peoples concentrated almost exclusively in western Guangxi and eastern Yunnan, with small patches of communities in eastern Guangxi and western Guangdong… The peoples of western Guangxi and eastern Yunnan used a variety of terms to describe themselves, which corresponded to smaller ethnic groups that the government now declares are part of the greater Zhuang nation."
