The Ngái (Vietnamese: Người Ngái; Chữ Nôm: 𠊛𠊎) are a Hakka-speaking community in Vietnam and other nearby countries of Indochina, whose ancestors were Southern Chinese.[4] The Vietnamese government separated Ngai from Cantonese when considering ethnic minority groups.

According to Vietnamese sources the Ngái people speak Hakka, a Sino-Tibetan language but are classified separately from the Hoa or urban ethnic "Overseas Chinese". The Ngái population was 4,841 in 1999[1] but down only 1,035 in 2009 and up to 1,649 in 2019.[2][5][3]
