K'Ho Nop people in Gia Bắc (Ja Buk), Lâm Đồng

The K'Ho, Cơ Ho, or Koho are an ethnic group living in the Lâm Đồng province of Vietnam's Central Highlands. They speak K'Ho language, a southern Bahnaric branch of Mon–Khmer language. They are related to the Cho Ro and Mạ people.

The Lạch people, a subgroup of K'Ho, is the indigenous group of Lâm Đồng. The name of the city of Da Lat (Lâm Đồng's capital) originated from Đà Lạch (literally "water of the Lạch people"): now the Cam Ly stream, which eventually flows into the Đồng Nai river to the South-West of the city.
