Lao Sung or more commonly Lao Soung are an ethnic group in
East and
Southeast Asia. Most Lao Soung live in
China,
Laos, and
Vietnam. Small minorities live in
Thailand and
Myanmar. The ones in Laos, the actual Lao Soung, make up 9% of the Laotian population. The true Lao Soung aren't actually one single ethnic group but are made up of
Hmong (the main group),
Yao,
Akha, Phu Noi and other people who live in the Laotian mountaintops. All these groups are related. Their main religions are
animism,
Buddhism, and Chinese folk religions. Some Lao Soung fought against the
communist Pathet Lao government in
1975 to keep the Laotian
monarchy in power. Many were moved from southern China and Laos to the
U.S. and
Australia in the 1960's, 70's, and 80's to escape the communist governments there.
