About Co Tu People:

Language: Co Tu ethnic group’s language belongs to the Mon-Khmer languages (language family of mainland Southeast Asia), close to the Ta Oi and Bru-Van Kieu languages.

Residence: Co Tu ethnic minority people live mainly in the two central provinces of Thua Thien Hue and Quang Nam, particularly Nam Giang, Dong Giang and Tay Giang Districts of Quang Nam Province and a few in Nam Dong and A Luoi Districts, of Thua Thien Hue Province.

History: Co Tu ethnic minority people have long lived in the Truong Son-Central Highlands region. Up to now, the origin of the Co Tu people still only stops at hypotheses, but in general, domestic and foreign scholars rely on their achievements in architecture, sculpture, culture and physical beauty, to determine that Co Tu people were once the owners of a decaying high culture,rather than an ethnic group with a developing primitive civilisation level. This ethnic group has not yet formed local groups but has had groups that are distinguished according to their residential areas, such as highland people (Co-tu Driu), central people (Co-tu Cha Lau) and lowland people (Co-tu Nal).
