The Lao Theung or Lao Thoeng (Lao: ລາວເທິງ [láːo tʰə́ŋ]) is one of the traditional divisions of ethnic groups living in Laos (the others being the Lao Loum and the Lao Soung). It literally indicates the midland Lao and comprises a variety of different ethnic groups of mostly Austro-Asiatic origin. In 1993 the Lao Theung formed 24% of the country’s population.
