		The Hui people (Chinese: 回族; pinyin: Huízú) are a Chinese ethnic group, typically distinguished by their practice of the Islamic religion.

		However, many Hui and others believe that the label is appropriate because the Hui have a history and culture that would not be such without their being Muslim, and thus setting them apart from other Chinese groups.
