The Mnong in Vietnam can be subdivided into three main groups:
Central Mnong: around 39,000 people in Đắk Nông province and western of Đắk Lắk, 75% population are Christians.
Eastern Mnong: around 36,000 people in Đắk Nông, Lâm Đồng provinces, and eastern of Đắk Lắk, 25% population are Christians.
Southern Mnong: around 36,000 people in Đắk Nông, Lâm Đồng and Bình Phước provinces, 70% population are Christians.
A big community with around 47,000 people of Mnong live in the Cambodia's northeastern boundary province of Mondulkiri where they are known as Bunong (alternatively spelled Phnong, Punong, or Pnong).
Cultureedit
The M’Nong have a rich cultural heritage that includes many epics, legends, proverbs, and songs. Gongs, buffalo horn flutes, jew’s harp, the monochord, and lithophone are their popular traditional musical instruments.[3]
Epics (Mnong language: Ot N'rong - Ot: telling by singing, N'rong: old story) take an important part in Mnong people's life. Many of these epics, such as Con đỉa nuốt bon Tiăng (Mnong language: Ghu sok bon Tiăng, English: The leech swallows Tiăng village),[4] or Mùa rẫy bon Tiăng (English: The farming season of Tiăng village) are quite long.[5]
Notable peopleedit
Y Thu Knul (1828 – 1938), a Laos - Mnong person, a chieftain who established Buôn Đôn, a famous elephant hunting and taming village in Central Highlands. Y Thu Knul caught over 400 wild elephant in his life. In 1861, he caught a white elephant and gave it as a present to the Thai royal family, leading the king of Thailand to bestow upon him the name "Khunjunob" (literally "King of Elephant hunters").[6][7]
N'Trang Lơng, a tribal chief who led villagers against French colonizers in a 24 years uprising from 1912 to 1935.[8] One of the most well-known action of N'Trang Lơng was the assassination of Henri Maitre [fr] - a French writer, explorer cum colonizer - who was famous for the adventure book Les Jungles Moï (English: Montagnard in Jungle, Vietnamese: Rừng Người Thượng), as well as brutal actions against the Mnong people.[9][10]
Điểu Kâu - an ethnologist, Điểu Klứt and Điểu Klung - two epic tellers, are three brothers in a family, who collected, recorded and spread M'nong epics. In August 2008, folk artist Điểu Kâu died of old age. This was a great loss for the M'nong people because they consider Điểu Kâu to be the keeper of their cultural identity.[11]
