The Vietnamese people (Vietnamese : người Việt , lit. ' Việt people ' or ' Việt humans ' ) or the Kinh people (Vietnamese : người Kinh , lit. 'Metropolitan people'), also recognized as the Viet people [ 67] or the Viets , are a Southeast Asian ethnic group native to modern-day Northern Vietnam and Southern China who speak Vietnamese , the most widely spoken Austroasiatic language .
Vietnamese Kinh people account for just over 85.32% of the population of Vietnam in the 2019 census , and are officially designated and recognized as the Kinh people (người Kinh ) to distinguish them from the other minority groups residing in the country such as the Hmong , Cham , or Mường . The Vietnamese are one of the four main groups of Vietic speakers in Vietnam, the others being the Mường , Thổ , and Chứt people . They are related to the Gin people, a minority ethnic group in China.
