Lahu people (English spelling) Lā hù zú
A mountain people found in the southwest of Yunnan Province, China, through Myanmar and Thailand. The population in China is about 410,000 (1990), with another 66,000 in Myanmar and 15,000 in Thailand. In Yunnan, they are concentrated in Lancang Lahu Autonomous County. Their language belongs to the Lolo-Burman group of Tibeto-Burman languages. Originally, they had no written language, but after liberation from China, a new script was created. They are divided into Black Lahu, Yellow Lahu, and White Lahu groups, but their social history, language, customs, and habits are said to be basically the same.
