Southeast Asia is home to ethnic groups with many different languages and cultures. Groups with comparatively small populations in relation to a country's ethnic majority are called ethnic minorities. Their villages and towns are mostly located in mountainous areas scattered all over Southeast Asia. Long necks with beautiful ornaments are characteristics of an ethnic group called Padaung people who are often talked about in Japan.
