Lhoba (Chinese: 珞巴族; pinyin: Luòbāzú; Standard Tibetan: ལྷོ་པ།; English meaning: Southerners) refers to the Sino-Tibetan-speaking ethnicity living in and around Pemako, a region in southeastern Tibet, including Mainling, Medog, and Zayu counties of Nyingchi and Lhunze County of Shannan, Tibet. The name is a TibetanRead more
exonym meaning "southerners" and was formally adopted by the People's Republic of China in official ethnic classification. In China, the Lhoba are counted as one of the officially recognised 56 ethnic groups, a status granted by the State Council in August 1965.
With a recorded population of 4,237 people in the 2020 national census, the Lhoba are China's smallest officially recognised ethnic minority. They make up roughly 0.1% of the population of the Tibet Autonomous Region. Substantially larger numbers of closely related peoples live across the international border in India, primarily in Arunachal Pradesh, as well as in Bhutan and Myanmar, where they are known under various local names including Bokar, Adi, and Mishmi.
The peoples grouped under the Lhoba label do not form a single ethnic, linguistic, or cultural unit so the Lhoba label is an umbrella for different groups. Most do not traditionally identify with the name at all; they use their own clan or locality names instead. The two main groups counted as Lhoba within the Tibet Autonomous Region are the Mishmi (义都, Yìdū), who speak Idu Mishmi, and the speakers of the Bokar dialect of Adi, a Tani language whose speakers are found in far greater numbers in Arunachal Pradesh. The Chinese authorities also count Tagin-speaking populations among the Lhoba.
