They are an ethnic group primarily found in China, particularly in the Yunnan province, as well as in parts of Vietnam and Laos. The Hani people are known for their rich cultural traditions, including unique clothing, festivals, and agricultural practices. In addition to the ethnic group, "Hani" can also refer to the Hani language, which is part of the Lolo-Burmese branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family.
