The Lachik, also known as the Lashi or Lacid[1], are a Kachin sub-tribe and ethnic group who speak the Lashi language. The Kachin people are a confederation of six ethnic groups.[2][3]

The majority of Lachik people live in northern Burma's Kachin State, Shan State,[4] and western Yunnan.

Dress

Lachik costumes differ from other Kachin sub-tribes and have specific meaning.
