Excerpt from Minority Groups in the Republic of Vietnam The Bahnar dialects are mon-khmer in origin and are related to those of the Stieng, M'nong, and Sedang, three other important tribal groups.2 Family structure is based on a bilateral kinship system, with neither male nor female dominant.3 The family and the village are the basic units of political organization. Villages are grouped into a regional association or towing for purposes of administering intervillage matters such as hunting, fishing, and farming rights. Clan structure or organization appears to be lacking.4 Extremely religious, the Bahnar interact continually with the animistic spirits surrounding them.
