Reference: Various ethnic groups in Vietnam. In 1963 I was sent to a village named Ban Don, near Ban Me Thout, in the Central Highlands. The people of this hamlet spoke Laotian. I had a limited vocabulary in this language due to a previous tour in Laos, but enough to make basic communication. It is very similar to Thai. The people called themselves (phonetic spelling) Mnung Lao. I don't see them among the list of ethnic groups.
