Tu (ethnic group) - Definition and Overview

The Tu (土) people are an ethnic group. They form one of the 56 ethnic groups officially recognized by the People's Republic of China. They call themselves "tsagaan mongghol" (White Mongols) and are closely related to the Mongols but classified as a separate minority in the Peoples' Republic of China. They don't have a separate literary language. Most of them live in Qinghai province, some of them in Gansu province.
