PRINT VERSION:
SHARE:
Yintale is a Karen language. It has two subgroups. This is more of a language group than a people group, since they are defined by their spoken language.
Yintale is spoken in three locations in Myanmar: Hpasawng, Bawlakhe, and Kayah.
Yintale speakers are a rural people who grow their own rice and vegetables. They have livestock and fish for their meat supply.
Yintale speakers are Buddhist, but a large minority practices traditional ethnic religion. There are other Karen tribes that have many believers, but not this one.
Yintale Karens need the security of living their lives for Jesus Christ.
