  • The Nah people is a small tribal group residing in the higher reaches, below the great Himalayan ranges in Upper Subansiri district of Arunachal Pradesh, India. Within the district, they are found in the villages within Taksing circle: Gumsing, Taying, Esnaya, Lingbing, Tongba, Yeja, Reding, Redi, Dadu villages. As of 2000, the tribal population stood at 1,500. However, in all official censuses the Nga are classified together with the Tagin, who are ethnically related to them. They speak the Na language, a member of the Sino-Tibetan language family, in which the population's literacy rate is 30%. The Na language has an affinity with the Tagin language. They also use Hindi or English. The Nah were believed to have migrated South from the north in Tibet following racial persecution from the Tibetans, but later engaged in trade with the Tibetans after the Nishi served as a mediator between the two groups until recent times. However, relations with their neighbors were often unstable; for instance, the shift of preference of their northern Tibetan trading partners in a 1906 incident resulted in a massacre which claimed many lives from their tribal group. The Nah are adherents of Tibetan Buddhism but are also influenced by pre-Buddhist Shaman practices. Both Buddhist Lamas and traditional Shamans, known as Nyibu in the native tongue, are employed for religious occasions. Like most tribes living in higher elevations, they build permanent houses made of stone and cultivate the usable land. One can see villages with terraced fields growing maize, millet, barley, etc. They breed domestic animals including yaks and sheep, and their clothes are made of spun wool. The Nah are more closely related to the Tagin both ethnically and linguistically than to Tibetans, but they claim to be a separate group, like the who live in Limeking. However, both tribes acknowledge that they share a common ancestry with the Tagin. (en)
  • Нга (также на) — народ на северо-востоке Индии. Проживают главным образом в округе Верхний Субансири штата Аруначал-Прадеш. Население сконцентрировано в деревнях: Тайинг, Эсная, Лингбинг, Тонгла, Йейя, Рединг, Реди, Даду. По данным на 2000 год численность этноса составляет около 1500 человек. Наиболее родственная этническая группа — тагины. Язык нга относится к ветви тани тибето-бирманской семьи. Исповедуют тибетский буддизм, однако на культуру народа оказывает влияние и добуддийское прошлое. Проживают в домах из камня и древесины. Занимаются сельским хозяйством, насколько это позволяют высокогорные условия. Основные с/х культуры включают кукурузу, просо и ячмень. Из животных держат яков и овец. (ru)
  • Os ngas (tibetano: ང), também conhecidos como Na, são um pequeno grupo tribal que habita abaixo das grandes cadeias do Himalaia, no distrito de . Lá, eles são encontrados nas vilas de Gumsing, Taying, Esnaya, Lingbing, Tongla, Yeja, Reding, Redi e Dadu. Em 2000, a população tribal era de 1500 pessoas. Entretanto, os Nga são classificados juntamente com os , aos quais são etnicamente relacionados, em todos os censos oficiais. Acreditava-se que os ngas tivessem migrado do sul ao norte no Tibete após a perseguição racial pelos tibetanos, mas depois engajaram no comércio com os tibetanos, com os nishis servindo como mediadores entre os dois grupos, até recentemente. Os Nga participam do Budismo tibetano, mas também são influenciados por práticas xamãs pré-budistas. Ambos os Lamas budistas e os xamãs tradicionais, chamados de Nyibu na língua nativa, são empregados em ocasiões religiosas. Como a maioria das tribos que vivem em elevações mais altas, eles constroem casas permanentes feitas de pedra e cultivam a terra utilizável. Pode-se ver vilas com plantações em degrau cultivando milho, painço, cevada etc. Eles criam animais domésticos que incluem iaque e ovelha, e as suas roupas são feitas de lã fiada. Os ngas são intimamente relacionados com os tagins, etnica e lingüisticamente, mas se consideram um grupo separado, como os , que vivem em Limeking. Entretanto, ambas as tribos reconhecem compartilhar antepassados em comum com os tagins. (pt)
