dbo:abstract
  • Chinese people in Sri Lanka or Sri Lankan Chinese (Sinhala: ශ්‍රී ලාංකික චීන; Tamil: இலங்கை சீனர்கள்), are Sri Lankans of full or partial Chinese descent born or raised in Sri Lanka. Most trace their origins to Hakka and Cantonese migrants from the southern coastal regions of China and other Han migrants from Hubei and Shandong who migrated to Sri Lanka in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Intermarriage between Sri Lankans, mostly Sinhalese women, and ethnic Chinese men is very common and they have adopted the culture, language and integrated into broader Sri Lankan society. As a result, the vast majority of Sri Lankan Chinese have partial Sinhalese ancestry. Approximately 80% of Sri Lankan Chinese live in Colombo and are mainly involved in the dental trade, textile retail, hotel and restaurant industries. In the past, some younger generations of Sri Lankan Chinese left the country due to political instability. Additionally, a fair amount of Sri Lankan Chinese have at times migrated to other countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia. (en)

  • 斯里蘭卡華人,是指在斯里蘭卡出生或生活的全部或部分華人血統的斯里蘭卡人。他們可追溯到17世紀,18世紀和19世紀遷徙到斯里蘭卡的華人是中國南部沿海地區的客家人和廣府人和來自湖北和山東的其他漢族移民。他們的人口很少,估計約為3500人。 斯里蘭卡人,主要是僧伽羅族婦女與華人男子之間的通婚非常普遍,他們採用了文化,語言並融入斯里蘭卡更廣泛的社會。大約80%的斯里蘭卡華人居住在首都科倫坡,主要從事牙科,紡織品貿易零售,酒店和餐飲業。過去,由於政治動盪,一些年輕一代斯里蘭卡華人離開了國家。此外,相當數量的斯里蘭卡華人有時也遷移到其他國家,如英國,美國和澳大利亞。 (zh)
