The Pwo Karen languages are the second largest group of the Karen languages. The four languages are at best marginally mutually intelligible: * Eastern Pwo, Western Pwo, Northern Pwo, Phrae Pwo. The people who speak these languages are referred to by many names, notably "Pwo Karen". The Pwo Karen people have lived in the eastern part of Burma for centuries, and in the western and northern parts of Thailand for at least seven or eight centuries. The endonym is ''Phlou'' or ''Ka Phlou'' , meaning "Karen" or "human beings". ==References== *Dawkins, Erin and Audra Phillips. 2009. (''A sociolinguistic survey of Pwo Karen in Northern Thailand )'.
