"La" means tiger, and "Hu" means roasting meat until it becomes fragrant. Therefore, in history, the Lahu people were called the "tiger-hunting people". The Lahu people have their own language and they belong to the Yi branch of the Tibeto-Burman language family of the Sino-Tibetan language family. Due to close contact with the Han and Dai people, most of them can speak both Chinese and Dai languages. In the past, some Lahu people used the Latin alphabet created by Western missionaries. In 1957, the Pinyin script was created on the basis of the original.
