The Kokang people (Chinese: 果敢華人; pinyin: Guǒgǎn Huárén or 果敢族 (Guǒgǎn zú); Burmese: ကိုးကန့်လူမျိုး) are Mandarin-speaking Han Chinese[1] native to Kokang in Myanmar, administered as the Kokang Self-Administered Zone.[2]
^Burma has other, non-Kokang populations of Han Chinese; depending on what area of China they originally immigrated from, these populations speak Yunnanese, Hokkien, Cantonese, Hakka, and Hainanese.
