Stable Bai communities have come into being from time  immemorial. In the Han and Jin dynasties, the Bais&#8217; ances?tors were  called &quot;Kunming&quot;. The Tang government called them &quot;Heman&quot;, Songwaiman&quot;  or &quot;Baiman&quot;, while in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, they were known as  the Bos. The Bai people showed special interests in white color. Hence,  the name of Bai Nationality was generally accepted by them after the  founding of new China.<br \/>  The Bai language belongs to the Tibeto-Burman group of the Sino-Tibetan  family. Most Bai people speak Chinese, through which they communicate  with other nationalities.<\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/span><\/span><span><span><span><span>As an ancient ethnic group, the Bais are proud of then-  splendid civilization.
