Lao Sung or more commonly Lao Soung (Laotian: ລາວສູງ [láːw sǔːŋ]) is an official Laotian designation for highland dwelling peoples in Laos (the others being the Lao Loum and the Lao Theung). Lao Soung make up 9% of the Laotian population. The 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 mountains.
