The Dai (or the Thai peoples of China; Chinese: 傣族; pinyin: Dǎi Zú, also called Dai Lue) is the officially recognized name of an ethnic group living in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture and the Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture (both in southern Yunnan Province of China), and also in Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, and Myanmar.
The Dai people form one of the 56 ethnic groups officially recognized by the People's Republic of China, and are closely related to the Thai people who form a majority in Thailand.
Although they are officially recognized as a single people by the Chinese state, the Dai people form several distinct cultural and linguistic groups. The two main languages of the Dai are Tai Lü (Xishuangbanna Dai) and Tai Nüa (Dehong Dai); two other written languages used by the Dai in China are Tai Pong and Tai Dam (Black Tai). They all are Tai languages, a group of related languages that includes Thai, Lao, and Zhuang, and part of the Tai-Kadai language family. The Dai peoples follow their traditional religion as well as Theravada Buddhism, and maintain similar customs and festivals (such as Songkran, the April water-splashing festival) to the other Tai-speaking peoples. They are among the few natives groups in China who nominally practice the Theravada school of Buddhism.
Dai people are typically farmers, growing a variety of tropical crops such as pineapples, in addition to the staple crop of rice. Many Dai people live near the Mekong river where it meanders through the far south of Yunnan.
