Who they are
The Nyahon live in southern Laos, in the provinces of Champasak, Attapu and Xekong, including the eastern part of the Bolaven Plateau. They speak Nyaheun, also called Heun, a Mon-Khmer language of the Bahnaric branch. The vast majority follow their people’s traditional religions. Christians are a minority, and many of them are Evangelicals.
