In the Tibetic area, one finds large numbers of Monpa tribespeople, with several subtribes speaking closely related but mutually incomprehensible languages, and also large numbers of Tibetan refugees. Within the <a href="/wiki/Tani_people" title="Tani people">Tani</a> area, major tribes include the <a href="/wiki/Nyishi_people" title="Nyishi people">Nyishi</a>. <a href="/wiki/Apatani_people" title="Apatani people">Apatani</a> also live among the <a href="/wiki/Nyishi_people" title="Nyishi people">Nyishi</a>, but are distinct. In the north one find the Tagin People. In the centre, one finds predominantly <a href="/wiki/Galo_people" class="mw-redirect" title="Galo people">Galo people</a>, with the major sub-groups of Karka, Lodu, Bogum, Lare and Pugo among others, extending to the Ramo and Pailibo areas (which are close in many ways to Galo). In the east, one finds the <a href="/wiki/Adi_people" title="Adi people">Adi</a> with many subtribes including <a href="/wiki/Padam_tribe" class="mw-redirect" title="Padam tribe">Padam</a>, Pasi, <a href="/wiki/Minyong" class="mw-redirect" title="Minyong">Minyong</a> and <a href="/wiki/Bokar_language" title="Bokar language">Bokar</a>, among others. <a href="/wiki/Milang_tribe" title="Milang tribe">Milang</a>, while also falling within the general Adi sphere, are in many ways quite distinct. Moving east, the <a href="/wiki/Idu_Mishmi_language" title="Idu Mishmi language">Idu</a>, <a href="/wiki/Miju_Mishmi_tribe" title="Miju Mishmi tribe">Miju</a> and <a href="/wiki/Digaro_Mishmi_language" title="Digaro Mishmi language">Digaru</a> make up the <a href="/wiki/Mishmi_people" title="Mishmi people">Mishmi</a> cultural-linguistic area. </p><p>Moving southeast, the <a href="/wiki/Tai_peoples" title="Tai peoples">Tai</a> <a href="/wiki/Khamti_people" title="Khamti people">Khamti</a> are linguistically distinct from their neighbours and culturally distinct from the majority of other Arunachalese tribes. They follow the <a href="/wiki/Theravada" title="Theravada">Theravada</a> sect of Buddhism. They also exhibit considerable convergence with the <a href="/wiki/Singpho_people" class="mw-redirect" title="Singpho people">Singpho</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tangsa" class="mw-redirect" title="Tangsa">Tangsa</a> Naga tribes of the same area, all of which are also found in Burma. They are one of the most recent people group migrated to Arunachal region from Burma. The <a href="/wiki/Nocte_language" title="Nocte language">Nocte</a> Naga and <a href="/wiki/Wancho_language" title="Wancho language">Wancho</a> Naga are another two major ethnic tribes. Both the tribes exhibit very much cultural similarities. Finally, the <a href="/wiki/Deori_people" title="Deori people">Deori</a> tribe is also a major community in the state, with their own distinctive identity. They are the descendants of the priestly class of <a href="/wiki/Chutia_kingdom" title="Chutia kingdom">Chutia people</a> who were allowed to continue their livelihood after the defeat of the Chutias.

Retrieved <span class="nowrap">2 August</span> 2023</span>. <q>The territorial dispute between China and India concerns three sectors. The eastern sector includes 90,000 square kilometers south of the McMahon Line and north of what China claims as Tibet's customary boundary, effectively the present-day Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, previously known as the North Eastern Frontier Agency. India claims that the frontier here was delimited by the McMahon Line drawn at the 1913–14 Simla Conference. China does not recognize the McMahon Line itself or any of the documents from this conference, which it never ratified. In addition, as the line itself was drawn directly on a map, it lacks a precise delimitation. Historically, Tibet had administered the area around Tawang in the far western portion of this sector, where the sixth Dalai Lama was born, and claimed additional areas on the southern slope. After independence in 1947, India moved to assert its authority, slowly administering this region in the early 1950s and in some cases replacing local Tibetan officials.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=Strong+Borders%2C+Secure+Nation&rft.pages=326-327&rft.pub=Princeton+University+Press&rft.date=2008-09-14&rft.isbn=978-0-691-13609-7&rft.aulast=Taylor+Fravel&rft.aufirst=M.&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fpress.princeton.edu%2Fbooks%2Fpaperback%2F9780691136097%2Fstrong-borders-secure-nation&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AArunachal+Pradesh" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-17"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-17">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFSarmah2021" class="citation journal cs1">Sarmah, Minakshi (2021). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/48654881">"Is China's Territorial Claim On Arunachal Pradesh Justifiable?"</a>. <i>World Affairs: The Journal of International Issues</i>. <b>25</b> (4): 78–89. <a href="/wiki/ISSN_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="ISSN (identifier)">ISSN</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://search.worldcat.org/issn/0971-8052">0971-8052</a>.</cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=World+Affairs%3A+The+Journal+of+International+Issues&rft.atitle=Is+China%E2%80%99s+Territorial+Claim+On+Arunachal+Pradesh+Justifiable%3F&rft.volume=25&rft.issue=4&rft.pages=78-89&rft.date=2021&rft.issn=0971-8052&rft.aulast=Sarmah&rft.aufirst=Minakshi&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jstor.org%2Fstable%2F48654881&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AArunachal+Pradesh" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-Mayilvaganan-Bej-Khatoon-18"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-Mayilvaganan-Bej-Khatoon_18-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Mayilvaganan-Bej-Khatoon_18-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFMayilvagananBejKhatoon2020" class="citation book cs1">Mayilvaganan, M.; Bej, Sourina; Khatoon, Nasima, eds.
