The phonetic and morphology of some groups bear the traits of Sino-Tibetan idiom and others either Mon-Khemar [Indo-China] or Bado [San-Sino] strains.Therefore,they are known by several names;i.e.the Chakma [Chagma],the Tripura[Tipra],the Marma [Magh],the Rakhain,the Mro [Murang],the Tanchangya,the Pankho,the Bawm [Banayogi],the Khumi[Kumi],the Chak [Sak], the Kuki and the Lusai.Each has one more kinship moieties or pharatries or septs of its own based on patriarchal families crop out of monogamy.

The picturesque hill ranges of their peripheral regions on the north -east,east and south-east, ordering Mymensingh ,Sylhet,and Chittagong Hill tracts are inhabited by a number of tribal people, whose culture and way of life are as varied and colorful as the natural beauty of our land.Dress,ornaments,tools and weapons ,rituals,customs,traditions and crafts are sharply different from the people of the plains. No cogent history, but some legends, is to be found about any of the quasi-tribal groups living at present in Bangladesh. According to the legend a,still in current, each appear to be a sub-segment of a nomadic tribe who prowled in the neighboring lands for their sustance in the hoary past and ultimately wended its way into naturally forlorn lurking pockets of Bangladesh following incessant feud for either land or leadership. This supposition may be held to be correct for the Northerners as well as east-enders only since we have definite proof that the Westerners were brought as immigrants by different colonial peers from Santalparganah,Nagpur and Ranchi of India in the late-medieval period. Whatever may be the case, they are now sharing Bangladeshi nationhood at full length.But,they are gradually forgetting their hereditary style of life with the fast expanding urbanization.
