Tags: Ethnic Group.
The Katang are an ethnic group living in Laos although a few live elsewhere in Southeast Asia. In 1995 there were 95440 living in Laos making them one of the largest subgroups of the Lao Theung and one of the largest true ethnic groups in the country. (The 2004 estimate was somewhere around 110000.) Most live in Savannakhet Saravan and Champassack. They are one of the few Lao Theung people that do not live in houses on stilts or in trees but rather in long wooden houses.
