  • The Tai-Khamyangs (Thai:ชาวไทคำยัง, Chao Thai Kham Yang), also known as Shyam, is a subgroup of the Tai peoples of Southeast Asia. They are numerically a small indigenous group found in Tinsukia, Jorhat, Sivasagar and Golaghat districts of Assam and adjacent parts of Arunachal Pradesh. Their population totals about 7,000, of which only a small minority speak the native Tai Khamyang language while the vast majority speak the Assamese language. The Khamyang are followers of Theravada Buddhism and are closely related to the Khamti. They maintain good relations with other Tai Buddhist tribes of Assam. "Khamyang" itself is a Tai word, deriving etymologically from "kham" (gold) and "yang" or "jang" (to have), and meaning "people having gold". They ruled an independent principality in Mungkong until the end of the 18th century. Many Khamyang have historically used "Shyam", which is a cognate with "Siam", the old word for Thailand, as a surname. The modern trend is for mostly their family names: Thaomung, Chowlu, Chowlik, Tungkhang, Wailong, Pangyok, Chowsong, Pangyok and Chowhai. (en)
  • Os khamyangs, também conhecidos como Shyam, são um grupo tribal encontrado principalmenet no distrito de , em Assam, e também em partes adjacentes de Arunachal Pradesh. Eles têm uma população de 35.000, dos quais somente uma pequena minoria fala a língua tai nativa. (pt)
  • 坎揚人，是泰人的一支，分布於印度阿薩姆邦，賽比薩加爾和阿魯納恰爾邦一部分。他們的名在泰語解作有金子的人，其他人則多稱他們為Shyam，即暹羅人。 他們人口約7000人但只有少數仍說母語，他們與坎底傣關係密切同樣信仰上座部佛教，他們統治孟拱一個獨立小公國直到18世紀末。 他們來自雲南的孟卯，而名稱則和緬甸克欽邦有關。據說上緬甸地區的Kopdub河有大量沙金，而坎揚人居住在該地一段長時間。 他們在16世紀時已與阿豪姆王室聯姻，在18世紀中期時越過帕凱山進入阿薩姆地區定居。 (zh)
