Population
In official parlance, all residents of the country – with the exception of the recently immigrated Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Indians and Europeans – are called Lao (Laotians); they are divided into Lao-Lum, Lao-Thai, Lao-Theung and Lao-Sung. Ethnically speaking, however, only the Lao-Lum (or Tal-Lao) belonging to the Thai peoples are actually Lao ; they make up 60% of the total population and live in the lowlands, mainly as rice farmers in the Mekong Valley, and in the cities. The Lao-Thai, who traditionally practice slash-and-burn agriculture or wet rice cultivation and inhabit more remote valleys and plateaus, include, among others. the black and red Thai (after the color of women’s clothing). The Lao-Theung (Lao-Theng, Lao of the mountain slopes, 26%) show a similar settlement and economy. They are the descendants of the oldest population, now live mainly in the south-east and north, and speak Mon Khmer languages. The Lao Sung (Lao of the mountain peaks; 13%), including Yao (Man) and Hmong (Miao), who probably only immigrated to northern Laos from China at the end of the 18th and 19th centuries, speak Sino-Tibetan languages. In addition, there are small splinter groups of different tribes with Tibetan Burman languages, i.a. Lisu and Akha. Other ethnic minorities include Alak, Htin, Khamu, Kohor, Lamet and Oy.
With 29 residents / km 2, Laos is relatively sparsely populated. The main settlement areas are the plains on the Mekong, especially the region around the capital Vientiane.
The inaccessible highland regions in the east and north are only very sparsely populated. From 1960 to 2017, the proportion of the urban population increased from 7.9% to 41%.
