54 Vietnamese ethnic groups

Vietnam is a multi-ethnic country. According to the General Statistics Office, in 1979, our country had 54 ethnic groups, of which the Kinh people accounted for the majority, about 85.4% of the Vietnamese population. The remaining 53 ethnic groups are called minorities, accounting for about 14.6% of the country's population (14,119,256 people). The community of Vietnamese ethnic minorities was formed and developed along with the thousands-year historical process of building and defending the country of the entire nation. Therefore, it can be affirmed that the history of formation and development of nations is linked to the history of formation and development of the country of Vietnam. Researching the history of formation and development of ethnic groups cannot be separated from the history of formation and development of the Vietnamese ethnic community, which includes both the majority and ethnic minorities.
