noun
Hoa people; ethnic Chinese in Vietnam
Refers to the ethnic Chinese minority in Vietnam. Often used in historical, sociological, or demographic contexts.
ホア族はベトナムの少数民族の一つです。
The Hoa people are one of the ethnic minorities in Vietnam.
ホア族の多くは中国語を話します。
Many Hoa people speak Chinese.
Refers to overseas Chinese in general, not specifically those in Vietnam.
A more formal term for Chinese nationals residing in Vietnam, not necessarily the Hoa ethnic group.
From Vietnamese 'Hoa', referring to the ethnic Chinese community in Vietnam, combined with Japanese 族 (ぞく, 'ethnic group'). The kanji spelling 華族 is a direct translation but is rarely used due to potential confusion with the Japanese historical peerage (kazoku).
