Mlabri people : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mlabri people
The Mlabri (มลาบรี) or Mrabri are an ethnic group of Thailand and Laos, and have been called "the most interesting and least understood people in Southeast Asia".〔Schliesinger, Joachim, ''Ethnic Groups of Laos, vol. 2'', ISBN 974-480-036-4, p. 187〕 Only about 300 or fewer Mlabris remain in the world today, with some estimates as low as 100. A hill tribe in northern Thailand along the border with Laos, they have been groups of nomadic hunter-gatherers. Those in Thailand live close to the Hmong and northern Thai. Those living in Laos live close to other ethnic groups as well. ==Nomenclature== The name ''Mlabri'' is a Thai/Lao alteration of the word ''Mrabri'', which appears to come from a Khmuic term "people of the forest". In Khmu, ''mra'' means "person" and ''bri'' "forest". They are also known locally as ''Phi Tong Luang'' (Thai: ผีตองเหลือง, Lao: ຜີຕອງເຫລືອງ) or "spirits of the yellow leaves", since they abandon their shelters when the leaves begin to turn yellow.
