中国的少数民族

Ethnic Minorities in China

中国是由56个民族共同组成的多民族国家，其中汉族人口占中国总人口的90%以上，是人数最多的民族。其他55个民族，比如蒙古族，藏族，回族等，人口都比较少，因此称为少数民族。每个民族都有自已独特的文化和历史，他们穿着自已独特的民族服装，戴着精美的民族饰品，跳着优美的民族舞蹈，吃着美味的民族食品，说着自已的民族语言，过着丰富多彩的民族节日。中国虽然有56个民族，但并不只是有56种语言。根据统计，目前更用的语言有80多种。其中使用最多的少数民族语言文字有4种：壮语，维吾尔语，蒙古语和藏语，这从人民币上就可以看出来。你可以猜一猜，在下面的人民币上，这四种文字分别是哪个少数民族使用的。
