Please fix

[edit]

The current version of this article contains this passage:

The vast majority of Thai Chinese belong to various southern Chinese dialect groups. Of these, 56 percent are Teochew (also commonly spelled as Teochiu), 18 percent Hakka and 11 percent Hainanese. The Cantonese, Fuzhounese, Henghua and Hokkien each constitute eight percent of the Chinese population and three percent belong to other Chinese dialect groups.

56 + 18 + 11 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 3 = 120%, but how can there be 20% more than all Thai Chinese? -- please fix! 98.123.38.211 (talk) 03:33, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The passage originally read:

Of these, 56% are Teochew, 16% Hakka and 11% Hainanese. The Cantonese and Hokkien constitute 7% of the Chinese population each, and 3% belong to other Chinese dialect groups.

Later edits messed up the figures. But I'm more concerned about the source of these numbers. The book source later attached to the statement doesn't actually contain these numbers. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:40, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Clarity of information

[edit]

What does this article want to talk about? Thai people with some Chinese ancestry Or Thais of Chinese descent or Chinese people in Thailand? Dask0666 (talk) 07:18, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
