A Chindian (Hindi: चीनी-भारतीय; Chinese: 中印人; pinyin: Zhōngyìnrén; Cantonese Yale: Jūngyanyàn; Tamil: சிந்தியன்; Telugu: చిండియన్స్) is an informal term used to refer to a person of mixed ancestry originating from India and China. This includes individuals from the various ethnic groups native to modern-day China and India. There are a considerable number of Chindians in Malaysia and Singapore due to their shared history as part of British Malaya. People of Chinese and Indian origins had emigrated to Southeast Asia in large numbers during the 19th and 20th centuries, leading to significant cultural interaction and intermarriage. Sizeable populations also reside in Hong Kong, owing to its history as British Hong Kong, and in other nations with large overseas Chinese and Indian diaspora communities, such as Jamaica, Martinique, Trinidad and Tobago, Suriname, and Guyana in the Caribbean, as well as more recently in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Mauritius.
