Asho people (Burmese: အရှိုချင်း) is one of the tribes of the Chin people.
The native speakers of Asho language are around 10,000.[1] The total population of the Asho people are around 400,000.[2]
Unlike other Chin clans, many of them are Buddhist. The Christian missionaries also used Burmese script for writing Asho language.[citation needed] Rev. G.

A Bible Society from Rangoon published New Testament in 1954 in Burmese script.[3]
