Hani Ethnic MinorityWith a population of 1,254.852, they are mainly distributed over the lower reaches of Lishe River and Mt.Ailao in the west of the Red River in the southwest of Yunnan Province. The Hani people have their own language which consists of three dialects-Haya, Bika and Haobai, and belongs to the Yi branch of the Tibetan- Burmese language group og the Chinese-Tibetan language family. They have no written script in the past. In 1957, with the help of the central government, a script system based on the Roman alphabet was created, but failed to achieve a popular use. The Hanis believe in polytheism and practice ancestor-workship. The Hani ethnic minority comprises over twenty subgroups. They used to be called “Heman”, “Hani” and so on. With the founding of the PRC in 1949, following consultation with the ethnic minority, it was decided to agree upon the official name of Hani ethnic minority. They evolved from the ancient Qiang people. Later one branch of them moved south. In the 7 th century, they immigrated into the area near Mt.Ailao and Mt.Wuliang. the Hani people mainly engage in agriculture.
