Khmer Loeu (Khmer: ខ្មែរលើ, Khmer pronunciation: [kʰmae ləː], "upland Khmer"), is the collective name given to the various indigenous ethnic groups residing in the highlands of Cambodia. The Khmer Loeu are found mainly in the northeastern provinces of Ratanakiri, Stung Treng, and Mondulkiri. Most of the highland groups are Mon-Khmer peoples and are distantly related, to one degree or another, to the Khmer.
