  • Language, Myth, Histories, and the Position of the Phong in Houaphan
    Neither Kha, Tai, nor Lao: Language, Myth, Histories, and the Title Position of the Phong in Houaphan Author(s) Tappe, Oliver; Badenoch, Nathan Japan-ASEAN Transdisciplinary Studies Working Paper Series Citation (TDWPS) (2021), 12: 1-62 Issue Date 2021-07 URL https://doi.org/10.14989/TDWPS_12 Right Type Research Paper Textversion publisher Kyoto University "Neither "Neither Kha, Tai, nor Lao": Language, Myth, Histories, and the Position of the Phong in Houaphan Oliver Oliver Tappe Nathan Badenoch Japan-ASEAN Transdisciplinary Studies Working Paper Series No.12 July July 2021 Neither Kha, Tai, nor Lao: Language, Myth, Histories, and the Position of the Phong in Houaphan Oliver Tappe1 Nathan Badenoch2 Abstract In this paper we explore the intersections between oral and colonial history to re-examine the formation and interethnic relations in the uplands of Northern Laos. We unpack the historical and contemporary dynamics between “majority” Tai, “minority” Kha groups and the imagined cultural influence of “Lao” to draw out a more nuanced set of narratives about ethnicity, linguistic diversity, cultural contact, historical intimacy, and regional imaginings to inform our understanding of upland society. The paper brings together fieldwork and archival research, drawing on previous theoretical and areal analysis of both authors. 1. Introduction The Phong of Laos are a small group of 30,000 people with historical strongholds in the Sam Neua and Houamuang districts of Houaphan province (northeastern Laos). They stand out among the various members of the Austroasiatic language family – which encompass 33 out of the 50 ethnic groups in Laos – as one of the few completely Buddhicized groups.
