The Pa-hng ethnographic group is at the very top of Cai Xiaoyun's y hg distribution table concerning Hmong-Mien. They examined the DNA of 31 men, almost 1/5 of whom ended up in para-group K*(xO,P), almost 1/3 in para-group O*, more than 1/3 in hg O3 and 4 in hg O2a. According to the ethnologue website the Pa-hng ethnographic group has a separate branch in the Hmong linguistic tree. They belong to the Yao minzu though. Maybe this is due to them being called "Red Yao", which is an umbrella term (1). There is a short description of an expedition to the Pa-hng and one of their language in an article by Edmondson (2).
