The '''Hui''' (pronounced "hway") people (''Huizu'') are ethnic [[China|Chinese]] [[Islam|Muslims]]. They are similar in culture and appearance to the [[Han people|Han]] Chinese, but they can be distinguished by that the men wear white skullcaps and the women wear headscarves. They also don't eat [[pork]], the most common meat in China, due to Islamic dietary laws.
Hui people are found mostly in Northwestern China, especially in [[Gansu]] and [[Shaanxi]] provinces. There are also Hui communities in large cities like [[Shanghai]], [[Beijing]], and [[Hong Kong]]. There are also Hui in [[Kazakhstan]] and [[Kyrgyzstan]], who speak a variety of [[Mandarin]] written in [[Cyrillic]] called [[Dungan language|Dungan]].
