Synopsis
Excerpt from Burma, Vol. 1: A Note on the Palaungs of Hsipaw and Tawngpeng
The Palaungs are a Mongolian hill community, inhabiting Habitat. The uplands oi the Shan States and of a portion of the n0rth-east of Upper Burma. Palaung villages are found in the Southern Shan States as far south as Kengtung and Palaungs form part of the population of Bhamo and the Ruby Mines district proper, but the essentially Palaung country, where the great bulk of the race live and where they form a salient section of the community, lies in the Northern Shan States of Hsipaw, Tawngpeng, North and South Hsenwi, and Mongmit and may be said to form a parallelogram lying on the irrawaddy-salween watershed between 22° 30' and 23° 30' N. And 96° 30' and 97° 30' E. Much of the following note may be taken as applicable to the people as a whole, but it should be clearly borne in mind at the very outset that it is intended to refer in its entirety only to the Palaungs of the States of Hsipaw and Tawngpeng, who occupy the central and south-western portions of the parallelogram aforesaid.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the Palaungs, a Mongolian hill tribe inhabiting the Shan States and Burma. Part of the Mon Anam group, they are closely related to the Was, Riangs, Kamus, and Talaings. Originally an endogamous clan society, the Palaungs were later heavily influenced by the Buddhism and customs of their Shan neighbors. Despite this, they retained many indigenous traditions and beliefs. The author provides a detailed account of their habitat, origin, and history, before discussing their language, religion, dress, ornaments, customs, and social organization. The book also contains a selection of Palaung vocabularies and sentences. The author's analysis of the Palaungs' social, cultural, and religious practices offers valuable insights into the history and diversity of the Mon Anam peoples. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
