Katu people
A people of Vietnam and Laos / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the Austroasiatic people group of Vietnam and Laos. For the Tibeto-Burman people group of Myanmar and China, see Kadu people.
The Katuic people (also Co Tu, Ca Tang; Vietnamese: người Cơ Tu; Katu: Manứih Cơ Tu) are an ethnic group of about 102,551 who live in eastern Laos and central Vietnam. Numbered among the Katuic peoples, they speak a Mon-Khmer language. Katuic languages have been developed by Paul Sidwell,[3] but Sidwell's work is not commonly used in Katuic communities due to language barriers.
