The Thổ ethnic group (also Keo, Mon, Cuoi, Ho, Tay Poong) inhabits the mountainous regions of northern Vietnam, mainly Nghệ An province southwest of Hanoi. They speak the Tho language, which is closely related to Vietnamese. Some ethnologists theorize that they are a sub-group of the Muong.
The Thổ population numbered 68,394 in 1999.[1]
The Tày ethnic group is also sometimes referred to as the Thổ.
