ETHNIC GROUPS

This section contains websites that contain active information regarding several specific ethnic groups.  There are well over 100 different ethnic groups in Burma, and many do not appear to be represented online. The Vanishing Tribes of Burma by Richard K. Diran presents details and photographs of 34 'tribes'; whilst the Joshua Project has identified 123 ethnic groups, but this includes several non-indigenous groups.
