They are known for their distinct language, which belongs to the Sino-Tibetan language family, and their rich cultural traditions, including unique clothing and festivals. Traditionally, the Wa people practice agriculture, cultivating crops like rice and maize. They have a strong sense of community and often live in villages where they maintain their customs and social structures. The Wa are also known for their traditional beliefs, although many have adopted Buddhism or Christianity in recent years.
