Hakka people
The Hakka (), sometimes Hakka Han, are Han Chinese people whose ancestral homes are chiefly in the Hakka-speaking provincial areas of Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Sichuan, Hunan, Zhejiang, Hainan and Guizhou. The Chinese characters for "Hakka" () literally mean "guest families". Unlike other Han Chinese groups, the Hakkas are not named after a geographical region, e.g. a province, county or city, in China.
Haka
The group of people performing a haka is referred to as a "kapa haka" ("kapa" meaning "row" or "rank"). The Māori word "haka" has cognates in other Polynesian languages, for example: Tongan "haka", 'hand action while singing'; Samoan "saa", Tokelau "haka", Rarotongan "aka", Hawaiian "haa", Marquesan "haka", all meaning 'dance'; Mangarevan "aka", 'to dance in traditional fashion; dance accompanied by chant, usually of a warlike nature'. In some languages, the meaning is divergent, for example in Tikopia "saka" means to 'perform rites in traditional ritual system'. The form reconstructed for Proto-Polynesian is "*saka", deriving ultimately from Proto-Oceanic "*saŋka(g)".
