Myanmar People and Races
Khamu
The Khamu ethnic tribes are mainly found in
northern Laos, Myanmar and South-western China, and
Thailand. In China, they usually inhabit around the
province of Guizhou.
The Khamu ethnic tribes are categorized under the
Shan ethnic group since most of them live in this
part of the country.
Some countries do not recognize them as a
separate ethnic group and are placed under the broad
category of undistinguished nationalities. But they
are recognized as the Khamu in Myanmar. Their native
language is called Khamu. They do not use money in
their village and bata system is still carried out
for their lives.
