Diffloth (1976) reports that in the neighboring Cheq Wong language, there is a practice to name ethnic groups after their respective word for "no".

The main agricultural activities of the Jah Hut people are such as rubber tapping, rice cultivation, hunting, gathering[11] and poultry.

Wood carving activity is still being practiced and it is not only regarded as a source of income but also seen as a part of keeping their traditional faith alive.

The art of wood carving among the Jah Hut is a newer development, originating in the 1950s, and occurred when the British came upon the community.

The British introduced using wood to sculpt, as well as updating their tools to include chisels, knives, hammers, and drills.

Paint can be used to enhance the masks or sculptures, but the carvers rely on the intricate designs, patterns, and form to give the pieces significance.

[14] Some ways that the Jah Hut connect with the spirits is through dancing, songs, wooden carvings, and masks.

[19] Therefore, only the older generation have the knowledge of herbs and it is estimated that only a few people are able to use traditional medicine to treat diseases.
