The H`mong are the eighth largest ethnic minority in Vietnam with a total population of just under 600,000. Belonging to the Sino-Tibetan and specifically the H`mong-Dao language group, they settled widely over northern Vietnam but most densely along the Lao and Chinese borders. Like the Dao the H`mong build their houses on the ground rather than stilts. The H`mong are famous for their embroidery and also batik which is in evidence on the wide variety of costumes of the various branches. Each H`mong branch has certain characteristics but equally there is a huge variety in clothes of say the White H`mong in one district to another.
