The 2,965 people of the Lhoba ethnic minority have their homes mainly
in Mainling, Medog, Lhunze and Nangxian counties in southeastern Tibet.
Additionally, a small number live in Luoyu, southern Tibet.
The Lhobas speak a distinctive language belonging to the Tibetan-Myanmese
language family, Chinese-Tibetan language system. Few of them know the
Tibetan language. Having no written script, Lhoba people used to keep
records by notching wood or tying knots.
People of this ethnic group were oppressed, bullied and discriminated
against by the Tibetan local government, manorial lords and monasteries
under feudal serfdom in Tibet. Being considered inferior and "wild,"
some were expelled and forced to live in forests and mountains. They were
not allowed to leave their areas without permission and were forbidden
to do business with other ethnic groups. Intermarriage with Tibetans was
banned. They had to make their living by gathering food, hunting and fishing
because of low grain yields in the region.
