Yes. Father Monclaro, an early Portuguese missionary, reported the islanders as considering themselves as descendants of Chinese seafarers and that they presented the Emperor of China with a giraffe (1416).
The people of Pate Island off Kenya claim to be Chinese origin and call themselves “WoShangGa” people. (Wo (or Wa) = I/me (first person pronoun in putonghua, Minnan dialect and many other dialects) Shang = upper (Cantonese, Hakka, putonghua) Ga = home (Cantonese, Hakka, southern dialects)) They call themselves ShangGa people meaning they are from the north – Siu-Leung Lee, PhD
