The '''Tani people''' are a [[Sino-Tibetan languages|Sino-Tibetan]] [[Ethnicity|ethnic group]] of peoples, which includes the [[Nyishi people|Nyishi]], [[Adi people|Adi]], [[Apatani people|Apatani]], [[Galo tribe|Galo]], [[Tagin people|Tagin]], and [[Mising people|Mishing]], who share common beliefs, ancestry, and [[Tani languages]] and live in the Indian states of [[Arunachal Pradesh]] and [[Assam]], as well as the [[Tibet Autonomous Region]] in [[China]].<ref>((Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YVADAQAAQBAJ&q=tani+arunachal+pradesh&pg=PP13|title=Shifting Cultivation and Tribal Culture of Tribes of Arunachal Pradesh, India|last=Riba|first=Tomo|date=2013-03-05|publisher=Rubi Enterprise|isbn=9789843373045|language=en))</ref>

The Tani are one of the largest ethnic groups in [[Northeast India]], with a population of 1.7 million. 

They also reside across the border in [[Tibet Autonomous Region]], [[China]]. The Chinese government recognises Tani peoples as members of the [[Lhoba people]].

==History==
Most of the residents of Arunachal Pradesh belong to the five Tani tribes (Nyishi, Adi, Galo, Apatani, and Tagin) who are all said to be descended from [[Abotani]]. Some of the history of the Tani people has been recorded in the ancient libraries of Tibet as the Tani people traded swords and other metals with [[Tibetan people|Tibetans]] in exchange for meat and wool. [[Tibetan people|Tibetans]] referred to the Tani people as the Lhobhas; ''lho'' means south and ''bha'' means people.<ref>((cite web |url=http://arunachalpradesh.nic.in/tourism.htm |title=Official Web Page of Government of Arunachal Pradesh|url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120320144930/http://arunachalpradesh.nic.in/tourism.htm |archive-date=20 March 2012))</ref>
