Pa'O language
Pa'O, sometimes called Taungthu, is a Karen language spoken by half a million Pa'O people in Burma.
The language is primarily written using a system of phonetics devised by Christian missionaries, and many of the materials now available for it on the internet derive from Christian missionary involvement, although the majority of the Pa'O are generally reported to be Buddhists.
The language is also referred to by the exonyms "Black Karen" and "White Karen", both of which are terms used in contrast to "Red Karen", also of Burma.
