Akha

Following my post on Karen, this magnet represents The Akha who also known to the Thai as the Gaw or the E-gaw (names that the Akha do not like). They are located primarily with Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai provinces. The Akha are closely related with the Hani of Yunnan province, China.

The Akha speak a language in the Lolo/Yi branch of the Tibeto-Burman language group. They have no traditional written language.
