Talk:Ethnic Chinese in Brunei

Why this article is not called Chinese Bruneian nor Bruneian Chinese
Suryadinata uses both "Chinese Bruneian" and "Bruneian Chinese" interchangeably; while the US State Department used "Chinese Bruneian" on at least one occasion. However, the terms are not widely known in any other source. Informally, "Bruneian Chinese" seems to be the preferred name based on Google hits (mostly on personal webpages or forums where people describe their background). Neither term showed up in a Google News search on 2006 Sep 17.

Neither term is likely to be confused to mean "Bruneians in China" since said population is likely quite small and as far as I can tell, apparently has never even had a newspaper article written about them.

Hits for Chinese Bruneian:
 * Google Scholar: 1
 * Google Books: 3
 * Google: 136

Hits for Bruneian Chinese
 * Google Scholar: 1
 * Google Books: 2
 * Google: 647

Given the small number of hits even on Google for either term, please do not move this page to "Chinese Bruneian" or "Bruneian Chinese" without some justification involving citation from various reliable sources. Note that analogy to terms like British Chinese or Chinese American do not qualify as citation. Thank you. cab 08:57, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

citizenship
what citizenship do they get then if not brunei? i know the prc can be quite picky about who they give citizenship to, particularly those who cant prove they had a parent who was a prc citizen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.36.29 (talk) 09:54, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
