Ethnically related to the Naga, they are well-built and of medium-stature. They are divided into thirteen sub-tribes, namely, Lungchangs, Yoglis, Mosangs, Ron-Rangs, Khemsings, Moklums, Tikhaks, Ponthais, Longphis, Snakes, Lungris, Taipis, and Haves.
Followers of the Donyi-Polo religion, the Tangsa believed in a supreme being that crated their existence, locally known as Rangfrah, although belief in other deities and spirits is maintained as well. Theravada Buddhism has influenced the Tangsa, and a small minority of converted Christians do exist as well.
