Myanmar People and Races
Zo
The Zo ethnic tribes are an indigenous tribe,
mostly found in Northern Chin State and in the Kabaw
Valley of Western Sagaing Division in the Union of
Myanmar. The Zo tribe has an estimated population of
over 60,000. The are very much scattered in Myanmar
and some other parts of the world. They are one of
the official ethnic tribes in Myanmar. The Zo
ethnics descend from the Main Tet Tibeto-Burman
group of people. The ethnic group's name is believed
to have been derived from the first person whose
name was Pu Zo.
Due to lack of evidence and difficulties in
excavating archeological remains, the Zo's origins
are difficult to be proved. Though widely believe to
have descended from Mongolia, the routes to the
present settlements are not clear. It is believed
that the Zos have descended from Mongolia to China
and to Tibet and to the present day Myanmar.
