The main ethnic group in Vietnam is the Kinh, also known as the Viet, which accounts for more than 80% of the country's population, totaling about 65 million people, living in all provinces and cities throughout Vietnam, especially in the plains and towns, where they are most concentrated. According to ancient records, the Viet people are the descendants of the Luo Yue people, who first lived in the area of Viet Chi at the top of the present Red River Delta Plain. As time went by, the area in which the Yue people lived gradually expanded. Until the 11th century A.D., the settlement of the Viet people expanded to the southernmost region of Cam Ou Kok. The Kinh people use the Vietnamese language and the script is written in Pinyin Latin characters. The cultural life of the Kinh people is rich and colorful, and there are many traditional and unique forms of folk art performances. For example, the slave drama and mockery drama are popular local dramas in Vietnamese folklore. There are also many local singing styles in different parts of the country, the most famous one being the "Kuan Hoa tune" in the northern region of Bac Ninh. The Kinh people are good at singing and dancing, and Kinh dances are both ancient and beautiful, with a distinctive style. The Kinh people live in different parts of Vietnam, and over time, their dances have been fused with those of other ethnic groups, thus showing a diversified character.
