A few members of other speech groups also settled in Kuching. These included Foochows (Hokchius), from the city and surrounding districts in northern Fukien; Henghuas, from the coastal area of Fukien midway between Hokkien and Foochowspeaking areas; Hokchias, closely related to Henghuas and emanating from a small district between Henghua and Foochow; and Luichews, whose home area was the Luichew Peninsula of Kwangtung.
