ABSTRACT
The Khyangs are a small ethnic group of people inhabiting the Chittagong Hill Tracts region in the southeast part of Bangladesh. At present, they can be mainly found in Rangamati and Bandarban districts of Chittagong Hill Tracts. Their total population is estimated to be around 2500. The Khyangs possibly came to their present habitat from neighboring Burma (presently Myanmar). They are considered by anthropologists as belonging to the Kuki-Chin race of the Tibeto-Burman group. Khyang societies are headed by a leader for each society, the leader being known as a ‘Karbari’.
