Bahnar people
The Bahnar are a Mon-Khmer-speaking people of the Central Highlands of Vietnam, living mainly in Gia Lai and Kon Tum provinces. They traditionally farmed upland rice and lived in villages centred on a tall communal house. French Catholic missionaries worked among them from the mid-19th century, and their chiefs were among those who accepted the adventurer Mayrena as king of the Sedang in 1888.
