#Pnong people

The Pnong (alternatively #Bunong and other spelling) are an aboriginal Cambodian minority ethnic group, they found primarily in #Mondulkiri province of Cambodia. The Pnongs are the largest indigenous highland ethnic group in Cambodia. They have their own language called Pnong, which belongs to Bahnaric branch of Austroasiatic languages. Majority of Pnong people are animists, but a minority of them follows Roman Catholicism and Theravada Buddhism. The Pnongs are considered as #Khmer_Loeu or #Montagnard, which is the collective name given to the various indigenous ethnic groups residing in the highlands of Cambodia.
